Hi to everyone! Let's "fix" the bloopers!

Hi, I'm New here and have been Just lurking around for the past few
weeks, Reading and stuff.
The Question is, has there been any news on an Updated version of UFO. I
know that the other series, "Thunderbirds" got a make over. Which
Critics and alike, blew holes in it. But apart from the Information on
Marc's Site is there anything else going around.
Perhaps we should see Who people would suggest Who could play the Part
of Straker etc, Or perhaps an Updated version, Like say 20-30 Years
after the Tv series setting.
With Todays Computer technology, I'm not surprise Anyone has produced
any fan Films of the Series, But then again, no one has done this to any
other Gerry andersons series. Only Star trek DR WHO and Star wars have
been Done.
Myself Personally Have been A keen UFO fan for Years, and it inspired a
Few Homegrown Short stories based loosely on that Idea (which Were never
completed).

Thanks.
Grant

Hi Grant,
   
I've always thought that UFO would be fantastic if Re-Done even if it wasa CGi Version like "Captain Scarlet"
   
I think with the right Marketing it could happen

I was thinking about they did Battlestar Galactica and put that on Sci-Fi
and it is doing extremely well.I too am a huge UFO fan and NEVER forgot it.
Who would play Commander Straker?Someone who has that take charge attitude
and has that no nonesense demeanor-of course he would definitely have to be
an american actor.As far as the characters that are to be portrayed-they
should all stay as they are gender and color wise.Not like in B.G. where
they changed Starbuck into a female along with Boomer being a female also.I
firmly believe with a great script and spare no expense budget on the
film(either start out on t.v. like B.G. on NBC and then go to Sci-Fi).
I would love to play the continous part of Astronaut Mark Bradley.But I am
not of Jamaican decent and nor do I have the accent.
I am confident that this could take place in the very near future.If I knew
where to send in ideas on script writing I definitely would do that.UFO was
and still is by far the best show and I can watch it over and over again.
If you guys can think of ways to possibly get Mr.Anderson to throw around
some ideas to the producers that I know he is in touch with-maybe that will
happen.I was reading one of the old message boards that they were going to
make a movie,but it fell through.
I don't know I'm just anxious and would love like all of you to see that
happen!!

I don't agree with you there. Even if I were to agree that the character
had to be American, he could still be played by an English-speaking
actor from another country.

Damian Lewis did pretty well as an American in Band of Brothers, and there
are other examples.

No, it would have to be done in a serious tone (maybe Frakes would be up
to it) given the atmosphere of the original. Don't try to dilute or
cartoonize UFO!

It would have to be "gritty" and raise a lot of controversial topics
during the fight against the aliens.

Five or so years ago we had a similar discussion here but back then CGI
was not so developed (should be used for very complicated shots, but
Martin Bowers-type model-making has to be included) and nowadays many
more people are familiar with the show due to the DVD releases.

We "extreme" fans may still not constitute a "critical mass" for
marketers, but we can always keep trying.

Yes Paul, Proper marketing is important, but perhaps we need something
to market! We need producers and directors who think like those of
the original series. That's the attraction for us! So many things
have been brought back and they're not the same

Take the new Dr Who! A great show but it doesn't endear itself to us
like the old one. I would like to see some of that 70s ( or late 60s
)type of appearance return with the new series. Gerry Anderson
perhaps could make himself available!

New actors, not necessarily with experience should be sought and not
the tired old faces on todays TV who always need a job!

I have a funny feeling the produvtion costs could be kept to a minimum.

Sadly most remakes are absolutely dire - Battlestar Galactica is the
exception rather than the rule. I have to say that I for one would
rather not see some lame cash-in on a true TV classic. Leave UFO and
the other classics alone and come up with some new ideas.

Hi all,

I see that the Fanderson convention "Sector 25" is
next weekend:

http://www.fanderson.org.uk/s25p1.html

Unfortunately, unlike most of past Fanderson conventions,
there are not many UFO guests scheduled to attend. The
only UFO-related guests are Gerry Anderson, Shane Rimmer,
Mike Trim, and Keith Wilson. Of course, I suspect that
one will find UFO items in the display room and in the
dealer's room. And the convention is being held in
Borehamwood, so some of the surroundings may look very
familiar to UFO fans.

I'm not going to this convention, but would be interested
in hearing from attendees about anything related to UFO
seen/heard at the con!

Marc

Look at it like this-Ed Bishop is originally from U.S.--I understand that
they have actors that can portray americans just like a lot of other
seasoned actors,but I see it as a way to gain the audience here in
America.You know that this Country is a hard sell most times when it comes
to movies.Look at Thunderbirds-with Bill Paxton.
I personally would like to see the movie come to life and continue in the
tradition that it originally started out in.Again changing things from the
original based upon the knowledge we have sometimes makes a horrible
experience that can be fixed,but makes it like your playing catch up to save
the series.
Again look at B.G.(Battlestar Galactica),I NEVER imagined it would so well
with the changing of the characters,gender and ethnicity of them,but it
seems to be working.I hate change,but with the right script/screenplay
things can go forward and we will have a series of a great show!
I love UFO and I NEVER forgot it when it came on WWOR T.V. channel 9 a lot
of years ago-I must have been about 8 or 9 years old and haven't seen it
again until it came out on dvd back in 2002-2003,so I'm delighted to
re-invent the show to the rankings it should have,be it my own personal
imagination or with the shadogroups thats been amazing with the responses
that genrate fond memories of this classic!

Perhaps, Some Of you are Right, I wouldn't want UFO gone the same way
That Thunderbirds went. I do Believe That Gerry Anderson tried to
distance Himself from that Movie. And I agree It not the same. The only
Best Remake I have seen To date is Battlestar Galatica It so Much
Better than the orignal, and More Darker.

In any case No one else could Play Ed Straker Except for Ed Bishop. So
what I think should happen is This.

2020?, The Earth is still been Invaded By Ailens, and Shado is Still The
Secret Earth Defense Network. But the Ailens are Getting Better and More
sophisticated at Trying to Infiltrate Earth Society. So Shado has Field
agents, as well as several bases on the Moon, (perhaps Mars), A Space
Station and a Revamped SID in Orbit. A newly Constructed Submarine
Fleet, as the Old skyDivers are been phased out. A New Commander, in
Charge with perhaps Paul foster's Son in as well in some command position.


The only problem We have is Todays Technology and Orbiting satellites
Could pick up The secret Shado activities and any News network could
Broadcast them. You would have to make Shado that Secret that It would
be almost impossible to operate in Today's environment

Fat chance, in terms of movies, it's nearly all recyc now out of the dream
factory :-(

Good example "The Wicker man."

Can anybody suggest how Hollywood might mangle UFO if they attempted to get
to grips with it? Specific episodes...etc.

Could be a fun thread :-)

No way.

UFO was a ground-breaking series whose infinite charm is the
straight PRODUCT of so many factors blending in a perfect,
magnificent mixture.

The models were well-realized and detailed, and they retained
that "realistic" and gritty look that today COMPUTER GRAPHICS
usually waste.

The screenplays were all excellent, and somehow resembling paperbook
works in terms of content and artistic development. Great fiction.

The FXs were good and refreshing, and they still stand the test of
the time today.

And above all, above everything: ED BISHOP. He was beautiful,
skilled, "atmospheric" and talented.

I don't wanna see a REVIVAL. 'LOST IN SPACE' was a failure, even if
an enjoyable pop-corn flick. Leave the legends alone.

We need to celebrate UFO the way God has given it to us! :) LOL!
