New UFO movie sucks

CONTENTS DELETED

Heh. April Fools!
AT

Nice one Amelia ;-)

It was quite plausible, and even had me going for a second... you pressed all
the right (or should I say wrong buttons ;-) ...Yes, I can quite that believe
that those wacky folks in Hollywood would contemplate using Robin Williams, but
I knew the game was up with Britney (she would look very nice in Moonbase
uniform :-) ...however, I could feel my blood pressure rising (for all the
right... and wrong reasons), so well done!

I hope 'they' will do a sequel (not a remake) much like with Star Trek Next
Gen... that would at least not undermine the original and best, give the concept
some continuance, and also wouldn't trample on 'we' original UFO fans too
much... Ed would sure make a GREAT General! ...they could get Steven Berkoff to
direct - that would give it some Zest!!!

Happy Birthday Gabrielle!!!

Best to all...

Griff

Can you believe this garbage, you guys? Have you seen this article
on the net? My comments at the end.

Los Angeles (Associated Press)

Old aliens out, new aliens in. UFO's attack again

by Diana Kincaid


Remember that old 70's sci-fi series UFO with the
purple headed babes and the flying saucers? No? Consider yourself in
the majority. However, Hollywood bigwigs do, and recently bought the
rights from Carlton to do a remake of the old Gerry Anderson series.
Gerry Anderson, famous for his marionettes, won't be pulling the
strings this time. The series will have new faces, aimed at bringing
a much coveted youth audience. In the lead role of Commander Ed
Straker, moneymaking funny guy Robin Williams.

Contacted for his opinion, the previous aging
actor who played Straker, a no longer pretty boy Ed Bishop, said
merely that he was disappointed and he felt die-hard UFO fans would
be too. In the role of purple-haired babe Gay Ellis, the popular
songstress Britney Spears. As Alec Freeman, Russell Crowe. Virginia
Lake, Reba McEntire . Other big name stars will be cast as plans for
the big screen flick go on. The music for the remake will be done by
Enya, with some vocals by such rap artists as Eminem and Dr Dre.
Wardrobe is reported to be worked on by Tommy Hilfinger.
A director hasn't been decided on at this time.
The unnamed film company was encouraged by the success of the recent
UFO DVD's in the UK, and they say that remakes are in. They hope to
release the flick by Summer 2004.
If only they could do something about those
bizarre wigs.

Scroll for my personal comments.














Its not real.
Happy April Fools, everyone <VBG>

Amelia (who had fun making it all up, but may have scared people to
death with the idea of Robin Williams and Britney Spears as Ed and
Gay <g> I added the remark about my precious Ed's looks to further
disguise that I made up the article. If anyone actually said that
about Ed, I'd break their kneecaps,and most of EBF would help me do
it. )

Oh, hey - Russell Crowe is a good choice!

ACK!

LOL!

The Tommy Hilfiger thing did it for me - that's when I knew for sure it
was crap.

LOL!
But, then, I fell for the radio station's report that the Internet was
"full" this morning, too.
LOL!

You are a cruel person Amelia.
Glad to hear it was just a April Fools gag. But now what am I going to do
with all this special cyanide tipped hollow points ammo I got to take out the
studio executives?
