UFO 2020

Hi all,
As you may have noticed, I have been rumbling away for quite some time
developing new CGI effects for a possible/plausible UFO remake.

I have given it the working title of UFO 2020, based on the idea that
UFO was set ten years ahead, and 2018 sounded a bit naff!

I have researched quite a bit, including this group, and it seems the
idea of a "UFO - The Next Generation" concept seems to be the most
popular. It would allow us to possibly even bring in cast from the
original, (Sadly, the few who are left)

I am working on a pastiche of the original title sequence, but with
new effects shots etc, to hopefully drum up sufficient interest to
work towards producing a 45-60min pilot episode, that may even lead
towards getting commercial interest.

It must be pointed out though that I intend to work with
professionals, rather than just a fan base, as I find they tend to be
rather "hammy", and overdone. However, if anyone has any good story
concepts or treatments, I would love to hear from them.

All the best
Rob Neal

PS: I have created a new folder in the files area that will contain
updates as and when. I have dropped in a basic titles ident to get it
started.

Great opening title!!

I wish you luck with that!
I hope you've got a good budget.

It will be hard to get over the fact that Albert Hastings' wonderful vision of UFO continuation is not going to be done. That would be a certain hit - I saw some of the papers describing the concept. A work of a genius!
All the best,
Branko

I love the opening credits too. Great job.

I don't know if it is appropriate to post this here, but I did
opening credits for Star Trek using the music from UFO.

If you are interested in checking it out here is the YouTube link.

If anyone is interested in having a copy of it, I can upload the
original file to this group.
