Frakes Takes on THE THUNDERBIRDS
Jonathan Frakes (STAR TREK: TNG) has committed to directing a live action version of the 1960s “super-marionation” show, THE THUNDERBIRDS.
Set in 2065, the original show used puppets in the story of a top secret international rescue team comprised out of retired astronaut Jeff Tracy and his five sons, as well as several others.
The film has been in development hell for years, but recently Working Title Prods. took it back for reconceptualization to make it more like the original series. THE THUNDERBIRDS original episodes will begin airing on Tech TV on August 5.
