A new series based on concepts from Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson is seeking funding via Kickstarter.
Firestorm has been developed from Anderson's original synopsis and story outline documents.
The series would follow Storm Force, an organisation formed to combat terrorist threats, including the group known as Black Orchid.
An anime version of the project was previously produced and aired across Japan and South East Asia in 2003.
Fans who help fund the new Firestorm pilot episode will receive special limited edition rewards, from props and collector edition DVDs, to set visits and film credits.
Once the Kickstarter campaign reaches its target, a pilot episode will be made with a new filming technique called 'Ultramarionation' - a combination of puppetry, practical effects, physical props and sets, and model miniatures.
Jamie Anderson - Managing Director of Anderson Entertainment and son of Gerry Anderson - said: "Developing Firestorm ready to be filmed in Ultramarionation has been an absolute joy.
