Forgot myself so much I was happy!
As you all know, the pledging for the Kickstarter project has ended... What you may not know is that it ended with 3 378 contributors, pledging a total of 218 412 £, making it a complete success! Even considering that a handful of pledges might not go through the complete process, it means - and it was confirmed by Stephen Lariviere, creator of the project - that we will indeed have three new episodes of the Classic Thunderbirds series, made with puppets, miniature sets and props, just like in the old days! That's a very nice way indeed to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary!
In the coming days, the team will collect the pledges, and filming will begin, so that those who contributed will hopefully receive their DVD/blu-ray and rewards in December.
There's a forum on the Kickstarter website for contributors only, but if you are not a contributor, and there is a question you have about this project, you can ask it here and I will check if this is possible to forward this to the creators of the project. I cannot make any promises, as I know that Stephen, along with the production team, will be very busy in the coming weeks, but I certainly can try to see if I can get some answers. At least, since Stephen is keeping us updated with what's going on in a fairly regular basis, I will be able to keep you all posted on new developments.
