The first full trailer for the upcoming reboot Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's 1960's classic puppet tv
series Thunderbirds Are Go! has been released online. I'm curious to see how
much of it will be CGI and how much will be practical and how it all blends,
but for now it seems that the sets are real, and the ships, and characters will
be CGI.
Fifty years after its television debut the iconic
series is back in production featuring a talented cast led by Rosamund Pike
(The World’s End, Gone Girl) as Lady Penelope and David Graham (Thunderbirds
1965) reprising his role as chauffeur and International Rescue agent Parker.
Debuting on ITV in 2015 this re-invention of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s
much-loved series will be produced using an innovative mix of CGI animation and
live-action miniature sets. Unstoppable inventor Brains will be voiced by
Kayvan Novak (Fonejacker, Facejacker) whilst Tracy brothers Gordon and John are
both played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Love Actually, Game of Thrones). Rasmus
Hardiker (Saxondale, Lead Balloon) has been cast as both the youngest and
oldest Tracy brothers Alan and Scott. The fifth Tracy brother, Virgil, will be
played by David Menkin. Tracy Island matriarch Grandma Tracy is voiced by
Sandra Dickinson (Amazing World of Gumball, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the
Galaxy) and master villain The Hood played by Andres Williams (M.I. High,
Foyle’s War). Plus Thunderbirds Are Go! will feature new characters including
Kayo, the Tracy brothers’ friend and fellow island resident, who will be played
by Angel Coulby (Merlin, Dancing on the Edge) and Colonel Casey voiced by Adjoa
Andoh (Invictus, Doctor Who).
