I recently saw a trailer for a film where Ben Kingsley is a remote viewer and uses his skills to track down and kill serial killers. Anyone else see this and anyone know the name of this film?

Not unless 'Thunderbirds' has gone in a completely different direction...

lol... d**n, i forgot about Thunderbirds. what a weird idea. take a Gary Anderson puppet show from the 60s that hasnt been in syndication until Tech TV brought it back and turn it into a live action movie featuring the guy who played Chet from Weird Science. How can they miss. ..

hehe. I saw the trailer a couple of days ago - my god. where's the thunderbirds spirit gone? The only resemblence between this and the original is the vehicles - and even they've changed.
The voiceover is even more cheesy, the acting is even more wooden (ba-doom-doom-shh) and Parker is wearing some weird red space sunglasses. Oh yeah, and Lady Penelope's roller can FLY.
We're supposed to feel sympathy for the little boy who gets left behind while his family go off and save people - it's hard when the father reassures his other sons with 'Don't worry - he's a Tracy.' This looks like Power Rangers meets Sabrina the Teenage Witch...without the ironic cult status.
...sorry, just had to get that off my chest.

I always thought Captain Scarlett was a bit pointless, really...I mean, he's invincible. Like Superman. He's just too darn smug. Thunderbirds created a real sense of danger and peril.

yeah, that's a good point but I think the models and puppets were refined and looked better. I thought the mysterons had great voices, liked Spectrum and.. didn't the baddies managed to assassinate the world prez?
I don't remember much of UFO.

i found what the movie is. www.suspectzero.com I think it was pushed back because I thought it was coming out this month. Not a good sign. But the trailer looks cool. |
