Development[]
Paramount's interest in the film rights to the Thieves and Kings comic book series dates back to when it was first published in 1994, with Dallas Sharp, during his trip in Canada, approaching creator Mark Oakley for their own animated feature film adaptation of the series. Early pitches for an adaptation included video games, animated and live-action films, an animated series, and a live-action series. To persuade him, Paramount gave Oakley a tour around the Feature Animation studio in Hollywood in the United States, which he eventually accepted one offer.
