Jamie Anderson - son of Cult TV legend Gerry, and producer/director of Big Finish's upcoming Terrahawks series - has been in touch about his exciting new series project: 

Firestorm!

Continuing the work of Gerry Anderson, Firestorm is a new science fiction series utilising puppetry, miniatures and practical effects!

We need your help to make a brand new series from the creator of Fireball XL5, Space: 1999, Thunderbirds and many more cult TV series - Gerry Anderson's Firestorm.

You may not be aware of Gerry Anderson's name, but we're almost certain that you'll know several titles from his list of hit shows over multiple decades. They include 'Supermarionation' puppet series like: Terrahawks, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90 and The Secret Service, and live action shows like Space: 1999, UFO, and Space Precinct.

Carrying on with his incredible creative ethos, we want to bring the next Gerry Anderson project to the small screen... Let's Make 'Firestorm' in Ultramarionation! This project's aim is to raise enough funding to make the necessary models, sets, and puppets, and to pay for the production of a minisode of Firestorm - in all its Ultramarionation glory! As part of development we put together this brief puppet POV teaser trailer, which is just a hint of things to come...

Firestorm was originally conceived and developed by Gerry Anderson in 2001 under the title 'Storm Force'. The series was eventually bought by a Japanese production company and developed as an anime series. By the time it reached the screen it was quite different to the original series Gerry Anderson had envisaged, and we want to go back to those original concepts and develop them as a true Gerry Anderson production...
