4K showings of two key Thunderbirds episodes are heading to the big screen this September to mark the show’s 60th anniversary.
Anderson Entertainment and Kaleidoscope Entertainment are presenting the pilot (aka Trapped in the Sky) and Terror in New York City. The double-bill will be in UK cinemas, in 4K UHD, from 20th September.
Making their worldwide debut in 4K UHD, both episodes have been meticulously restored from the best surviving film elements in collaboration with award-winning restoration experts, Silver Salt. The result is the ultimate viewing experience—presented in glorious detail, including a brand new 5.1 surround sound mix for an appropriately epic cinema experience.
“Even back in 1965, Dad and his amazing teams made each episode of Thunderbirds feel like a mini movie – huge stories, stunning models, and that unmistakable sense of adventure,” said Jamie Anderson, CEO of Anderson Entertainment. “To see them newly restored in 4K and back on the big screen, marking classic Thunderbirds’ return to cinemas for the first time since 1968, and on the show’s 60th anniversary, is something really special. I’m very proud to be able to share them with audiences across the UK.”
