From the Desk of Alfie Ellison, VP of International Development: Thunderbirds

 


Last Resort Films Studio is thrilled to announce that it has officially begun the search for talented writers to help bring the iconic Thunderbirds to life in a groundbreaking new adaptation. The upcoming film will be helmed by visionary director Joseph Kosinski (known for his work on LRF’s Batman series and The Andromeda Strain) and will feature a star-studded cast, including the incredible, Best Actor Nominee, George Mackay (Excalibur, Pompeii).

Thunderbirds, the beloved 1960s British television series, will be reimagined for a new generation in this action-packed, high-tech adaptation. The film will explore the daring exploits of International Rescue, a secret organization that uses cutting-edge vehicles and technology to save lives in the most dangerous of situations.

George Mackay will play the iconic role of John Tracy, the resourceful pilot of Thunderbird 2, a role that demands both physicality and emotional depth. The casting of Mackay marks a bold step in ensuring the film’s combination of high-octane action and character-driven storytelling.

"We’ve been dreaming of bringing Thunderbirds back to the big screen for years," said Kosinski. "With the incredible team we’re assembling and the visionary talent involved, we believe this film will redefine what audiences expect from a thrilling, high-tech adventure. We’re looking for writers who share our passion for this world and can bring fresh ideas to this timeless story."
The search for the right writers is now underway, and Last Resort Films is excited to collaborate with storytellers who have a deep understanding of the Thunderbirds legacy while also pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of narrative and visual effects.

Stay tuned for more updates on casting, production, and behind-the-scenes insights as this highly anticipated project begins to take shape.
