The 2005 Thunderbirds Annual is the official annual of the brand new live-action (with CGI animation) film Thunderbirds, which is based on the cult 60s children's TV show, and is being released in the UK on July 23rd, 2004. Sir Ben Kingsley plays The Hood, and Bill Paxton (Spy Kids 2, Apollo 13) is Jeff Tracy, but the real stars will be the crafts: eye-popping cars, planes, spaceships and submarines (which have been created with CGI imagery, building on the way they looked in the much-loved TV series, but putting them in exciting new action sequences).
