Back in July at San Diego Comic Con it was announced that WETA Workshop was working on a reboot of the classic 1960s series Thunderbirds. Now we have our first look at Tracy Island and the (backs) of the Tracy brothers who make up International Rescue in the new series Thunderbirds Are Go!.
With this new series, fans of supermarionation will be disappointed as WETA Workshop will be utilizing live-action sets and CGI characters this time around. As a kid I watched a ridiculous amount of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlett and Stingray thanks to the endless reruns during the early years of the SciFi Channel.
The briefest of teaser trailers was also released this past week giving fans a look at the new Thunderbird-5 space station.
Thunderbirds Are Go! is set for air in 2015 on ITV in the United Kingdom. There is no word as to whether it will find a (legal) distributor in the United States; but rest assured I will be sure to pass that information along as soon
