I read somewhere that Trey didn't see the 1960's British TV series 'The Thunderbirds' until some time in 2003 and immediately wanted to make something similar.

The first 10 seconds into the first time I saw the promo, I thought...hey, The Thunderbirds...didn't know it was Matt and Trey until I looked it up on IMDB...looks pretty good.

Looks GREAT! Bet it does well, maybe not gangbusters but very good.

You can tell by the voices, though.

I'm looking forward to it... even though I'm not a Thunderbirds fan.

As I understand it, Matt and Trey were originally negotiating to be able to use the actual footage from "Thunderbirds" with a new script that they wrote. The makers of "Thunderbirds" decided instead to license out the rights for the live action movie, so Matt and Trey had to shoot their own puppet footage instead.

Parker and Stone inquired about the rights to the series and found out Universal Studios was doing a "Thunderbirds" movie directed by "Star Trek: Generations" star Jonathan Frakes. We said, 'What? Jonathan Frakes is directing puppets?' and then we found out it was a live action version, and we were disappointed," says Parker, who hasn't seen the $55 million Universal film, which crashed at the box office and made only $6.7 million.

Yeah I was a little disappointed too, especially bc i was such a big fan of the original Thunderbirds *sigh*

I CAN'T WAIT to see this, since the first time I saw the trailer, I've been so pumped about this. There's something about marionettes that makes me very happy :)

Oh, and I visited the official site today, which appears to have been updated.
