Gerry Anderson, the late TV and film producer most famous for creating Thunderbirds, will \u2018appear\u2019 in a new documentary about his life by way of deep fake technology.<\/p>\n
Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted is in production now and will launch on streaming platform BritBox<\/a> on 14th April 2022.<\/p>\n Though he passed away in 2012, with permission from the Gerry Anderson estate A Life Uncharted will use deep fake technology and archive audio to have Gerry appear on-screen and tell his own story, alongside additional new interviews and commentary from friends, family, and colleagues.<\/p>\n Anderson\u2019s career spanned 60 years and saw him devise some of the world\u2019s most beloved children\u2019s television series including Thunderbirds, Stingray, Captain Scarlet, Space:1999, Terrahawks and Space Precinct \u2013 many of which are available to stream on BritBox.<\/p>\n The new documentary promises to map \u201chis previously uncharted journey\u201d from \u201ca poverty-stricken childhood, raised by a Jewish father and an anti-semitic mother\u201d to becoming a \u201cpuppetry pioneer, science fiction master and legendary creator.\u201d<\/p> Gerry\u2019s younger son, and director of Anderson Entertainment, Jamie Anderson said: \u201cThe process of making this documentary has been an amazing journey for me. I\u2019ve got to know Dad in ways that I never managed during his lifetime. The things I\u2019ve learned make his achievements all the more incredible, but also make so many of the characters and shows he created even more meaningful. It\u2019s a difficult story, but one that needs to be told \u2013 and that will fascinate fans of his shows.\u201d<\/p>\n Benjamin Field, director and producer for The Format Factory, added:\u00a0 \u201cI grew up watching re-runs of Anderson titles and to now be creating the definitive personal documentary about Gerry\u2019s life is just incredible. From an early stage I was keen to bring Gerry\u2019s words to screen using cutting edge technology as Gerry was such a fan of gadgets and technical wizardry. The documentary has become more touching than I first anticipated and has given me goosebumps whilst watching the rough cuts already.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n BritBox subscribers will be able to stream\u00a0Gerry Anderson: A Life Uncharted from 14th April, 2022.
