Live-Action Film
In 2009 a live-action film based on the series titled The Adventures of Thomas was being developed by HiT Entertainment.[1] Set in London during the Second World War, the film was going to be directed by Shane Acker who wanted to broaden the series' appeal to an older audience. In a 2011 Deadline article, he describes the plot:
"The tale will revolve around a pre-teen boy who has drifted apart from his father. The son is introduced into this world of Sodor, a place his father visited as a child but can’t remember. There is a bonding experience."[2]
The film was originally planned to be released in late 2010 but was pushed back to 2012, that same year HiT Entertainment was bought out by Mattel who ended up cancelling it soon after.[3]
Status
Since the film's cancellation, information on it is scarce with only a teaser trailer and some concept material resurfacing. As of 2023, no other material from this film has resurfaced.
