I'm sure that two versions of this film were released.
The film is shown fairly regularly on UK TV but I'm sure when I was younger that the version I saw then had our version of Roy Thinnes in the reverse world. i.e after crashing on the planet, the writing was reversed to us and Roy Thinnes. But the version I've seen for the last few years is the one where the writing appears normal all the time. |

What I never understood about this film is that I
clearly remember the (reverse) folks telling Thinnes that they had reversed the polarity of his return ship or equipment or whatever so that he could dock with his obiting ship. But when it came time, the ship was rejected and he crashed onto Reverse Earth. That appears to be a big goof in the film. It should have worked...right? ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software http://sitebuilder.yahoo.com |

Hi All :)
Does anyone know if the Antonia Ellis that produces the TV program "Sex and the City" is the same Antonia Ellis "Joan Harrington" that we all know and love? Best, Griff |

Hi All,
I watched Suzanne Neave "Mary Straker" in Mosquito Squadron at the weekend. It's strange her role was very similar in MS as in UFO, wife of a military(RAF) man always away on missions, causing disrupted relationship etc etc... she looked and acted exactly as in UFO - in fact they could have been filming the two at the same time, and she just strolled from one set to the other. I do not mean this in a disrespectful way by the way, just an observation... Best, Griff |

It's been a subject of some controversy, as Ed Bishop has said at conventions that she is the same person. However, doing an Internet search reveals that this other Antonia Ellis is young -- like in her 20s or 30s -- which disqualifies her as being the same person I would think... :-) I believe that Fanderson is planning on publishing an interview with *our* Antonia Ellis -- hopefully we'll see it soon in an issue of FAB, and find out what she's been up to lately.

Anybody think to contact the production company and ask?

The official bio for the Ellis producing "Sex and the City" doesn't
sound like it's her - no acting mentioned, although it does say she lived in London. Then there's a bio on the website for the play "Chicago" that talks about her acting and "Sex and the City" - very confusing! However, since the HBO bio says she was born in Ohio my bet is that it's two different people... SEX AND THE CITY Producer Antonia (Toni) Ellis is currently working in New York as a Producer on the sixth season of SEX & THE CITY. Between the second and third seasons of SEX & THE CITY, she stayed on the East Coast to work as the Co-Producer on the six-hour mini-series entitled THE CORNER. Based on the best-selling book by David Simon, this powerful true story was awarded the Emmy® for Best Mini-Series, 2000 and the Peabody Award. Prior to this, she Co-Created a children's program entitled CINDY: THE ADVENTURES OF CINDERELLA'S DAUGHTER and also worked as a Writer/Producer. In 1998, she was a Producer on a television sit-com pilot for DreamWorks/ABC entitled IMMEDIATE FAMILY while also working at DreamWorks SKG Television as a Production Executive and as the Head of Post Production for nearly three years. Before joining DreamWorks during its start-up in 1996, she was the U.S. Supervising Producer on the reality-based French co-production/television series USHUAIA: ADVENTURES OF NICOLAS HULOT, which was slated for both international and domestic syndication. Ms. Ellis was the Associate Producer on the CBS-TV drama series DR. QUINN, MEDICINE WOMAN for the first three seasons. Additional television credits include the series, SESSIONS for HBO and GRAPEVINE for CBS-TV. Her domestic and international production and post production background began in feature films, working with such companies as the BBC (London), Columbia Pictures, 20th Century Fox Film, Castle Rock Entertainment, Morgan Creek Productions and Universal Studios. Her feature credits include CITY SLICKERS, PARENTHOOD, YOUNG GUNS II, COUPE DE VILLE, RED SHOE DIARIES, FORD FAIRLANE and MARRIED TO THE MOB. Antonia began her early career in stadium rock concert promotion/production and the record industry, which led to radio announcing as an On-Air Personality and Producer. She is currently enrolled at Harvard University in pursuit of a Masters of Liberal Arts Degree in Literature and Creative Writing, and a portion of her screenplay was recently published in Harvard's Charles River Review. She earned her B.S. in Communications at Miami University (Ohio) with an emphasis in Television & Radio Production and also holds a Music Minor in Classical Piano Performance, including a semester abroad in London, England at Ealing College. Additional post-graduate course work includes Robert McKee's Story Structure, Writers' Boot Camp, AFI's Story Analysis, and Robert Bordiga's Nuts & Bolts Seminar. Ms. Ellis is a member of the American Film Institute and Women in Film. She previously held a position on the Advisory Board for the Caption Center (division of WGBH). An Ohio native, Ms. Ellis moved to Los Angeles in 1989 and resides there permanently. However, she has lived and worked in New York City for the past four years, and prior to 1989, in London, England and Miami, Florida. Her hobbies include music, yoga, scuba diving, golfing, mountain biking, hiking, skiing, baking and knitting. As a volunteer for City Hearts, she is very passionate about encouraging children and helping them build their self-esteem through the arts. CHICAGO Antonia created the role of Roxie Hart in England, first at the Sheffield Crucible, and then later at the Cambridge Theatre, London, 1979. Antonia spent a year and a half prior to Chicago in 'Pippin' on Broadway, and went on to star in the US National Tour. Her other credits include "Ring Round The Moon", "Once In A Lifetime", "Please Of Hyde Park", "Up Victoria!", "At The Music Hall", "Sweet Charity", "Company", "Irma La Douce", "Lie Down, I Think I Love You", "The National Health" and "Kingdom Coming". Her film work includes Ken Russell's "The Boy Friend", "Mahler Lives", "Percy", "Good-bye Gemini", "The Pirate" and "It's A Two Foot Six Inches Above The Ground World". Her TV work includes "Tommy Tune Special", "Sunshine" and "The Users". Antonia has also worked as a choreographer on "Jesus Christ Superstar". Antonia's hobby is photography. At one time, she had her own jazz ballet touring Canada and Europe. Antonia's 1979 biography states that she "is married to a theatrical producer and has three sons" At the moment, Antonia is in the production team for the popular US Comedy "Sex In The City". --- In [hidden email], "Anthony D" <ad2003@j...> wrote: > Anybody think to contact the production company and ask? > > Anthony > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Griff" <griff@g...> > To: <[hidden email]> > Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 10:20 AM > Subject: [SHADO] Antonia Ellis > > > > Hi All :) > > > > Does anyone know if the Antonia Ellis that produces the TV program > > the City" is the same Antonia Ellis "Joan Harrington" that we all know and > > love? > > > > Best, Griff |

The question about Sex and the City came up last year - as I understand
"our" Antonia Ellis is NOT involved with the HBO show.....Pam |

Sex In the City is shot at Silvercup Studios in NYC (just beneath the
Queensboro bridge if I recall correctly). Why doesn't someone just call her there?

Marc -
if you are refering to the interview where she says that she has a lot in common with the characters among other things being in her 30's it is possible that she might be speaking tongue in cheek and mean instead that she is nothing like the characters in Sex in the City. But on the other hand it might be true. But Antonia has dissappeared from acting after acclaim for her work in Chicago on stage and doing the film Pirates. This is about the same time that the Antonia Ellis who writes first turned up. So only Antonia knows for sure. James [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

The later part of this bio is indeed that of the Antonia Ellis who appeared
in UFO. I have seen her in Mahler and The Boyfriend and it is the same actress. It is also stated in the bio given for her in the UFO cast information at she had her own dance company. Draw your own conclusions. James K. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
Hi All :)
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the great feedback about my question as to whether the Antonia Ellis that produces "Sex and the city" and Antonia Ellis "Joan Harrington" from UFO are one and the same person. I must admit though, I think it is still open to question, although it is indeed beginning to look as if they are one and the same. Should anyone does come up with anything concrete please keep myself and the list posted. Thanks again, Best, Griff ps. Now if she IS a film producer... does she also produce films for Harlington-Straker film studios, and could this explain her long periods of absence? ;) ...has she really been on the Moon all this time? ;) |
Hi Griff,
I just got to know that Paolo Malaguti has been in touch with Antonia Ellis for a long time. Perhaps we should ask him to contact Antonia and inquire. We are rather busy for the Finale Ligure event (featuring Ed Bishop and Alan Perry, scheduled for this Friday) but I'm sure Paolo would be happy to help -- in due time. Should we proceed?
