First Full Trailer for THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO!
Over the last few months we’ve gotten a lot of promo material for the upcoming rebooted series Thunderbirds Are Go! There’s been a lot of teasing of what this series will be like, but today we have the first full trailer for you to watch. I’m not the biggest fan of the CG character designs. I understand they wanted to capture that old-school marionette feel, but I think these updated characters could have been designed a little better. I do love that all the sets are practical models that were built for the series, and I think it will be fun watch.
Featuring effects by Weta Workshop, the iconic series is coming back and features a cast led by Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) as Lady Penelope and David Graham (“Thunderbirds” 1965) reprising his role as chauffeur and International Rescue agent Parker.
Unstoppable inventor Brains will be voiced by Kayvan Novak, while Tracy brothers Gordon and John are both played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Love Actually, Game of Thrones). Rasmus Hardiker voices 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 and master villain The Hood is played by Andres Williams.
Thunderbirds Are Go! will feature new characters including Kayo, the Tracy brothers’ friend and fellow island resident, who will be played by Angel Coulby, and Colonel Casey voiced by Adjoa Andoh (Doctor Who). 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.
Does this look like a show you’d watch?
