Filmmaker wants to Kickstart more old-school 'Thunderbirds'
If you've seen the CGI remake of Thunderbirds, you might feel as if the glossy images have lost some of the charm of the puppet-fronted original. Filmmaker Stephen La Riviére agrees with you, which is why he's asking for our cash to produce an old-school revival of the classic action-adventure series. Thunderbirds: 1965 has a goal of producing between one and three episodes of the show, complete with puppets and models, as before. Rather than "new" material, the team will produce visuals to accompany three audio-only episodes that were recorded by the original cast as a tie-in during the original run.
