Star Hollywood executive Robert Evans had been walking around with the feature film rights to the old British TV series UFO. His company has decided to "green-light" the production with veteran visual effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner as director.By the sounds of it the producers are staying faithful to the original series' concept -- smart move! The original show is outstanding. And better than the Sci-Fi crap on television these days. (I saw a handful of episodes again a few years ago. While obviously dated, it still stands up as grand entertainment; with a brain.)
I mentioned in a previous posting that back in September of 1970, my family and I sat down in front of the tube to watch the premiere of UFO on the CTV network. We rarely missed an episode. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the show, it was very dark at times... but "good dark", not just for the sake of being so.
