After his career in the film industry took flight with Gerry Anderson in 1957, Derek Meddings proceeded to head the effects team and design every major vehicle for the hit British television series, Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and UFO. When the Anderson studio closed in 1970, Derek moved into movies and headed the effects on over 20 motion pictures. His effects accolades include; six James Bond films from Roger Moore’s Live and Let Die to Pierce Brosnan’s Goldeneye, Batman, Supergirl, Santa Claus: The Movie and The Neverending Story. Derek Meddings also headed the miniature effects on the first two Superman films and won an Oscar® for his achievements on Superman-The Movie. ‘Special Effects Superman’ is a tribute to Derek Meddings and his amazing career. The book will include over 400 ‘on set’ photographs from the Meddings family collection and contributions from those who worked with Derek throughout his career, including a foreword by Sir Roger Moore. Binding: Hardback Extent: 160 pages Dimensions: 290mm x 250mm UK retail price: £25  
I am very pleased to announce that CapedWonder™.com has contributed photos to this exciting new book. Below are numerous never-before-released CapedWonder™ photos of Derek's work from Superman-The Movie, plus some Superman II "sneak peek" photos and book pages graciously sent to me by the book's publisher.
