The teaser trailer (above) and the first image of the five Tracy brothers (below) offer fans more of an idea as to how the CGI will look in the finished Thunderbirds Are Go! series. A redesigned version of what appears to be the Thunderbird 5, the space station used by International Rescue, is featured in the teaser and on the newly launched website Thunderbirds.com.

Guillermo del Toro's 'The Strain'

The latest teaser for The Strain, which is based on the novel trilogy that del Toro co-wrote with Chuck Hogan, is emblematic of the way the story begins: a Boeing 777 arrives at JFK airport and goes dark, with window shades pulled down, communication channels dead and all the lights out. The plane brings with it a rabid vampiric virus that soon spills throughout all of New York City.

The “he” referred to in the teaser is most likely Jusef Sardu AKA The Master, one of the original ancient vampires who is afflicted with gigantism. Sardu will be played by Robert Maillet, a Canadian actor who stands at nearly 7 feet tall and is probably best known for his rather mismatched fight scene with Robert Downey Jr. in Sherlock Holmes. The Strain also stars Corey Stoll (House of Cards) as Dr. Ephraim Goodweather and Mía Maestro (Alias) as Dr. Nora Martinez, both members of the CDC who are called in to investigate the plane.

The Strain will premiere on FX in July 2014.

SHAH ALAM – Naib Presiden PKR, Tian Chua mendakwa kenyataannya yang mengaitkan insiden di Lahad Datu, Sabah sebagai sandiwara Umno telah disalah faham.

Menurutnya, kenyataan beliau yang disiarkan portal rasmi PKR itu langsung tidak merujuk kepada peristiwa penembakan yang mengorbankan dua anggota keselamatan negara.

Sebaliknya, beliau berkata, kenyataan tersebut dibuat sebelum berlakunya kejadian yang membabitkan pertempuran antara pihak keselamatan negara dengan penceroboh dari selatan Filipina.

“Saya mengatakan ia sandiwara Umno kerana mereka sering mengaitkan pembangkang di sebalik insiden di Lahad Datu. Sedangkan, kerajaan sendiri asyik berdolak-dalik mengenai situasi sebenar di sana.

“Secara kebetulan kenyataan saya itu disiarkan pada hari sama dengan kejadian penembakan tersebut. Lalu menyebabkan ramai yang tersalah tafsir kenyataan saya dan mengaitkannya dengan insiden yang meragut nyawa itu,” katanya kepada Sinar Harian, semalam.

Tian Chua yang juga Ahli Parlimen Batu berkata, beliau tidak sesekali mempersoalkan pengorbanan anggota keselamatan yang terlibat dalam pertempuran di Lahad Datu, kelmarin.

“Saya berasa simpati dan mengucapkan takziah kepada ahli keluarga anggota keselamatan yang terkorban,” katanya.
