I really want to make some live-action Thunderbirds stuff, but I’m having trouble with fancasting…
Some of the casting from the actual movie can stay, because most of it was actually pretty good (Sophia Myles, Bill Paxton, Ben Kingsley and Ron Cook at least), Dev Patel is a pretty popular fancast for Brains and…I have no idea for Kayo, especially since no-one’s clarified what ethnicity she is. Adjoa Andoh can stay as Colonel Casey, naturally.
It’s the brothers themselves I’m having trouble with. You’d think there’d be plenty of white American chisel-jawed hero types aged 16ish to 30ish to go around….but I can’t find any who look enough like their respective puppets/cartoons. Anyone got any ideas?
