This is the Captain Scarlet Trailer from the year 2000. It was made to check out the possibility to recreate the old series in CGI.

Amusingly, Captain Black was originally an American. Conrad Lefkon was the son of a crime lord in New York, I think. He joined Spectrum to escape the life of crime his family led.

There seem to be some negative opinions regarding the 05 CGI release. Personally, I loved it. Bought the series and had a Captain Scarlet watchathon. I admit though, the only two down sides for me were, one, the two leading voices, Scarlet's and Blue's, they were somewhat bland and two, that this series was left without resolution just like the first. I suppose we'll never know how the story arc was meant to evolve, if there ever actually was a story arc. I loved Mathew's Scarlet even though he accented towards Cary Grant and Ed Bishop's performance as Blue and Straker. For me, if I may add, totally hated Terrahawks. Had potential but not very well done.

@imfsresidentotaku9699 Жыл бұрын
You say "even though he accented towards Cary Grant" as if that's a flaw, which couldn't be further from the truth, as Cary Grant is always a win. Not to mention, Francis Matthews was hired for the role because of his Grant impression. As for the Terrahawks comment, that was totally uncalled for and came out of nowhere.
@harold5337 Жыл бұрын
Gerry himself admitted he wasn’t “too keen” on Terrahawks; despite its large following. Captain Scarlet ‘05 was great, it was just hampered by being badly promoted. Also the lack of the theme song was a minor irritant, as even the 2004 Thunderbirds has the theme song.
@The2ndFox2 ай бұрын
New Captain Scarlet did have a resolution (be it an intentional cliffhanger). The final episode ‘Dominion’ featured Captain Black being free of the Mysterons similar to how Captain Scarlet regained his humanity. The issue was that ITV screwed up the episode order and did not broadcast the finale as the last episode - a final act of disrespect they showed towards to entire series. I agree the original series should have ended with some kind of conclusion. The ITC complication movie ‘Captain Scarlet vs. The Mysterons’ showed an alternate ending to ‘Attack on Cloudbase’ which provides a conclusion. Interestingly, the CGI revival in this video seems canonical to that conclusion. Slightly off topic, but I was disappointed that the original never featured a return to Mars. There were many episodes featuring the various ingredients for Spectrum’s return to Mars and ultimately led to a mission the audience were deprived of seeing.

I love the original series of Captain Scarlet, its my second favourite Anderson production, and I believe that he and his team should have made a series this way and pickup where the original series left off, instead of retelling the story like they did in 2005 which was appalling.

I think this was conceptually far better than the CGI version that finally appeared, although technically as good. It was great to hear Francis Matthews and Ed Bishop in their old roles, but sadly Donald Gray who did Colnel White/ Captain Black and the Mysteron voice had since passed away. His replacement in the new version played by Mike Hayley was eerily similar.

It was the marionettes and scale model effects that gave old Gerry Anderson shows their own characters (it sure wasn't the writing).

My parents raised me on a diet of Supermarionation when I was young. Stingray, Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet the lot. I remember seeing this before the 2005 series started. When it actually started, they didn't let me watch it since they deemed it 'too violent' after the first episode. I would have preferred if they done this one. The voice acting was terrible in the new one. Conrad's voice actor was the only one that didn't make my blood boil.

Wow muh of this loosk like CG worthy of about 1990, never mind 2000. Much of the human motion is clearly motion captured, but the surfacing, modeling and lighting is sub par. The facial expressions are dismal - look at Scarlet's face when he's shooting at the car, for instance. If this was a student effort I'd give it a break, but to put this out as a professional program, even by the standards of ten years ago, is taking the piss.

Have to admit I like what they ultimately decided on better than this. Looks more than real people and less like animated puppets.
