By John Freeman on July 25, 2014

Anderson Entertainment – the company now looking at reviving many of Gerry Anderson‘s projects, but old and some unrealised back to life – has announced its intention to launch a new project to be filmed in “Ultramarionation.”

Jamie Anderson, Managing Director of Anderson Entertainment, says, “Next year is the 50th anniversary of Thunderbirds, which will see a new series launched on ITV and a host of other Anderson projects come to life, including a book series, an audio series and now also this new project – watch out for more information soon!”

Full details of the project have not been released, but with Gerry Anderson’s famous Supermarionation method being so enduringly popular, fans of Anderson shows should stand by for action!

Anderson Entertainment was founded by Gerry Anderson, MBE, creator of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Stingray, Fireball XL5, UFO, Space: 1999 and many more.
