apparently they are hyping up the vandam angle first, appealing to a larger crowd. im sure that things will balance out as the film progresses. how sad for this to be the first step though.

It's a old trick in film making that when someone else says they are going to
make a film about such and such that another company will steal er borrow the idea and often even the title and occassional even the original story idea.

Don't see him as Straker - Freeman maybe. Rough tumble Marine type.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Definately more Freeman than Straker. If he was 20-30 years younger he would have pulled of Foster no worries. ;-P

That's what I was thinking - 20 years younger, he'd make a great Foster.

Hi All, I am convinced this is not the same movie. The official website has not changed or been updated and Matthew Gratzner is still linked as director. I think that this has been so long in development hell that another production has had plenty of time to get going, posibly using the bandwagon hype that has been running for so long to steal some (all) the thunder. |

I read a rundown of the film plot and it has five friends who I think will be
younger people so say teens to twenty something and find they have not phone or internet service and there is something causing this which turns out to be a UFO. So if the Muscles from Brussels is playing Straker he will be taking a backseat to the younger actors. New recuits perhaps?

Flying saucers have always been a popular movie theme dating back to the 50’s where the aliens were communists in disguise.
