Starring: Joshua Jackson, Ali Larter Director: Matthew Gratzner
U.S. Opening Date: TBA 2011
This movie will be based on the rarely seen 1970s sci-fi TV
series of the same name by Gerry Anderson of
Thunderbirds and
Space 1999 fame. The original
series used real life actors instead of marionettes and featured
noteworthy special effects by the legendary David Meddings (Batman,
The Spy Who Loved Me).
The film will revolve around SHADO (Supreme
Headquarters Alien Defense Organization), a secret military operation
hidden beneath a Hollywood studio, whose operatives battle an alien race
that has been kidnapping and killing humans for decades and using the body
parts.
Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek have already written a
script.
"The story, characters and situations Mr. Anderson
created in UFO are timeless and engaging," Gratzner said. "My vision is to
utilize visual effects as a supportive storytelling device that draws
audiences into this universe."
One can only hope it’s better than the 2004
Thunderbirds movie . . .
