New UFO Movie - Plot

Griff
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.

Standard current movie practice.

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!)

I think they could do worse than a remake of Identified and Exposed. 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!
