New UFO movie- aliens

Before asking my question, let me preface it with this. Star Trek-The
original series. They portrayed Kingons with some black makeup applied to
their faces. When Star Trek-The motion picture was released, they used
makeup appliances to create a real alien, not just the use of black makeup.

When UFO-the series, they used simple makeup. No major appliances a la
modern Klingons.

Would UFO-the movie is in production, how would they treat the aliens?
Redesign the way they look or keep them from the series?

Little OT, in case some didn't know. One of the Klingons in the beginning
of ST-TMP was Mark Lenard. He is credited as the only person who played a
Romulan, Vulcan and Klingon. And he was actually younger then the actor who
played his son.

Some more OT. How many of you leaned into to pay close attention to this
episode of Star Trek- Deep Space Nine. The episode had the actors travel
back in time and interact with ST-TOS episode The Trouble With Tribbles. It
was the bar scene where the ST-DS9 actors question Worf how come the
Klingons from that era looks different then he does? :) Can you say cop
out? :)

Sorry for those who might find this too much OT, but remember if Ed Bishop
can do voice work on Star Trek- The Animation series, why cant I mention
Star Trek here? :)

Well, if they are still coming to the Earth for replacement organs,
then they cannot be TOO alien...

Of course, in a remake, this may not be the reason they are coming
to Earth at all...

The question you are implying to occured in the episode "Trials and Tribble-ations" of DS9, but was answered to in a later episodes of
"Enterprise", (Borderland, Cold Station 12 and The Augments) in the fourth season, by genial Manny Cotto, it includes
genetic experimentation and is worth checking out.


On a different note, I am at awe how many people are concerned about the possible UFO movie. If it ever happens (which is very unlikely), it might be a worthy addition to a series, it may be a complete failure, but we can'tdo anything about it. In any case, we have our perfect 26 episodes to cling to.

Personally, I would love to see Albert's excellent proposal realised, it would be better than anything else, because it was made by the gifted person who knew old series inside out, loved it and had a lot of knowledge, expertize, imagination and style to develop everything even beyond what we saw originaly.



All the best,

Branko

Ouch! I mixed things up, it was revealed in the episode "Affliction" http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/episodes/ENT/detail/8684.html 
Both of them has Augments and genetical engineering, I saw them a long timeago, and it is not UFO to know them all by heart : )
Sorry!

It is nice to see the kinds of development of ideas from an old TV show andwould be even nicer if some capable people develop and realize the ideas in the original UFO series in this profound way. So far, I saw it only written (the aforementioned proposal by Albert Hastings).
All the best, and sorry for the mess,
Branko

I doubt that they'd simply use greened-up actors. A 21st century audience
would tend to be disappointed, I think.

I would agree about using simple make-up. But unlike our cross-threaded
poster above (ref. ST-TOS and such) I do NOT believe that the Aliens in *UFO
* need - nor even *should* - be *very* different from humans, *assuming,* of
course, the plot points in the new script end up including the original
premise of stealing body parts. Now there *could* be something included to
explain it if they *are* very different. But it would be a stretch to me.
