Following up yesterday's announcement about the new Gerry Anderson documentary, Network has just posted exciting news that they are releasing a limited-edition Supermarionation set. This is being hailed as the ultimate box set for aficionados of Gerry
Anderson’s iconic Supermarionation series. Limited to just 2,500 copies, it
includes the new documentary film and a selection of key episodes from the
Supermarionation spectrum, all painstakingly restored for the first time from
the original film elements. The multi-disc Blu-ray/DVD set includes 22 restored episodes of Four Feather Falls, Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, Joe 90, and Secret Service. Special features in the box include an expanded slip-case edition of Stephen
La Riviere’s book, as well as an exclusive one-off TV21 comic, and
a wallet of postcards featuring newly created artwork based on the film’s
graphics- all presented in a beautifully crafted box. The limited-edition TV21 comic will feature contributions from original 1960s illustrators Gerry Embleton and Martin Asbury, as well as a host of contemporary talent. I have not heard any news about a US/NTSC release. Pre-orders start on August 1st at Network.

UK distributor Network has released a trailer for their upcoming documentary film, Filmed in Supermarionation, about Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's cult classic shows. The Andersons and their talented team filled the airways in the 1960s with thrilling spy-fi adventures like Stingray, Thunderbirds, and Captain Scarlet. The new movie was directed by Anderson scholar Stephen La Riviere, and includes rare archival footage, interviews, newly remastered sequences in hi-def, and on-set reunions with cast and crew to spotlight their innovative special effects and techniques. Hosted by Lady Penelope and Parker (Thunderbirds), the doc will premiere at the BFI on September 30th. General release in October, 2014. Hopefully we will also see a DVD/Blu-ray release from Network. The film is based on La Riviere's excellent book, Filmed in Supermarionation (Hermes Press/2010). Spy Vibers may also know the director from his previous Network documentaries about The Saint, The Ipcress File, The Persuaders, and The Champions. Stand by for Action!
