Bill Paxton is in talks to star in the live-action version of the hit 1960s TV show The Thunderbirds. The Hollywood Reporter says Paxton, who played Hudson in Aliens, could feature as a billionaire astronaut who heads up the elite national security unit. The project is being developed by Universal Pictures and Working Title, the British production company behind hits such as Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. The story centres on a 12-year-old boy who struggles to save his father and brothers from his nemesis, Aristotle Spode. Shooting is due to begin in March in the Seychelles and at Pinewood Studios.
