The Thunderbirds are coming to the big screen

[RoniMan]

not sure if everyone is old enuf to remember this, but the thunderbirds are being made into a movie.
here's the cast:
Bill Paxton, Ben Kingsley, Brady Corbet, Anthony Edwards, Sophia Myles, Dominic Colenso, Ron Cook, Lex Shrapnel, Ben Torgeson, Philip Winchester

here's a little linky (http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/t/thunderbirds.php) about it, along with a short teaser.

I thought that show was boring.

But I like the SNL spoof.

So now they can suck on the big screen? Or is this going to be live action?
