Hi All,
I guess I was outvoted with my impression that Paul Foster wasn't a likely candidate to focus on how "Inner Conflicts" as a plot key. Fair enough... Okay, so any guesses as to the general plot outline for this new movie? It's a couple hour movie, so:- We'd HAVE to have a period taken up establishing: - The alien menace (inbound, shocking scenes of mutilation, abduction, etc.) - Establish SHADO, - its background, location, main characters and equipment - Time focusing on Foster - we know that much - Other character development ...then what??? ...could Foster's 'inner conflict' misguidedly lead him to expose SHADO andthe alien menace. Why would he do that? Could there be a deeper terrible reason? Alien blackmail using one of their SHADO insiders. Maybe the aliens kidnap Tina Duval ... Mmm that could work. Any thoughts? Other ideas? Griff |
I bet that they kill off or 'turn nasty' a long established character... seemingly unpredictable, and certainly promotes 'strong feelings' from the audience.

Perhaps the Shado Yahoo group should suggest their own film script ideas -and send themto the script writer - much
along the lines of Snakes on a Plane! I want to see the descending lift, and Ed straker in a cream suit! (with sunglasses!)

Then again the climax of Exposed works better for a TV series in its early stages than the end of a film .. unless of course they're already planning UFO II. I don't see the Straker part being nearly as prominent in the film as it is in the series, by the way. |

Yep, that was classic UFO! You've got to admit it. Straker was certainly cool...
Wouldn't that be great! G --- In [hidden email], "lightcudder" <louise.oatridge@...> wrote: I want to see the descending lift, and Ed straker in a cream suit! (with sunglasses!) Louise |
