Reply #3 - Nov 22nd, 2010 at 11:52am Print Post What I really hope is that the trilogy keeps the flame alive, not only building on the idea, but that the interceptors and other non-living components are extremely close to the original, I want to think i've got a second chance to enjoy this amazing concept, not just a glimer of the idea with technology blasting the basic but brilliant idea to a higher level so we scrabble to compare it with the series we originally fell in love with, and I hope the new actors are not bigger than the stories themselves.

With a director who is a special effects freak (instead of a director), a budget which will not attract GOOD actors (and I don't mean stars or starlets, I mean good actors, those who can act their way out of a paper bag) and obviously already now too much emphasis on the machinery rather than the people and stories, well - it hardly will be anything worth mentioning. In a worst case scenario the film will burn the old series into the ground and make it a ridiculed item for anyone mentioning it. Additionally I resent the current tagline that the whole series will be re-enacted and set up anew. Duh. IP Logged

As so often you have it right. With movies nothing is sure until the movie actually is about to hit the theatres, and sometimes not even then IP Logged

Reply #8 - Sep 28th, 2012 at 2:12pm Print Post My own observation is that any time a film production fails to 'take off running' doesn't take off at all. I seriously doubt we're ever going to see a UFO movie - not from this crew. If you only have one solution to a problem - you're not trying. IP Logged

And maybe that's a good thing, I don't know. It would be a shame to have them make a movie that doesn't do justice to the series. But I'm beating a dead horse here. « Last Edit: Sep 30th, 2012 at 10:22pm by SHADO Librarian » What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Reply #13 - Jan 26th, 2013 at 12:20am Print Post Call me crazy , but I am willing to give the producers all of 2013 to complete the production of this UFO film. However, that is where I draw the line, because 2014 better be the release date in theaters. IP Logged
