Is geting closer to release you old techie fans. Thunderbirds themovie is set to release on August 6th. Here you can find the trailer.

Plot:
Set in the year 2065, this is the story of ex-astronaut and USAF Colonel Jeff Tracy (Bill Paxton) and his five sons who form a rescue team called International Rescue (nicknamed "The Thunderbirds") that uses a fleet of vehicles, from rockets to boats, to race into action whenever their unique services are required. Helping the Tracys are Brains (Anthony Edwards), a technological genius who invented the amazing rockets used by International Rescue; Jeff's assistant Kyrano and his daughter Tin-Tin; the lovely Lady Penelope (Sophia Myles), and her driver, Parker. In this adventure, Tracy Island is attacked by an evil mastermind, Aristotle Spode, AKA The Hood (Ben Kingsley), who wants to use the International Rescue vehicles to commit acts of crime. The emphasis of the story will be on Alan (Brady Corbet), the youngest of the clan, who will have to rescue his father and brothers from Spode's villainous clutches, with the help of two of his friends.

Ahhh crap I thought this was going to be about the USAF Thunderbirds team

HEHEHEHE Nice one Necro

I saw that in an Autoweek magazine, suppose to be called the Thunderbird J or something like that.

Much like the 'retro' Tbirds from Ford, it is somehow doubtful that the new Thunderbirds will live up to the old.

And I like Ford's 2004 Tbird - don't get me wrong.

The original Thunderbirds was an hour long masterpiece of puppetry/animation by the Andersons - who eventually went on to film Space:1999 & UFO [one of my faves].

The BBC didn't usually allocate an hour for kids show, but Sir WhoeverWasInCharge was so impressed by what he saw that he gave the Andersons the full hour.

When Fox brought the series back briefly in the 90's, they cut them to a half-hour - losing much of the dialogue and plotting that made the series groundbreaking and worthwile.

And now some fanboy who hasn't got an original idea has decided live action? Perhaps it will stand on it's own merits. Don't try to compare it to the original [see also Charlie's Angels]. Our maybe it will be the next Hulk.

We shall see

P.S. I like the car
