Extracts from the one page article:

Trilogy Entertainment has named Pen Densham and John Watson as
executive producers of the new big-budget UFO series which is
currently in development. British writer Simon Davis Barry has been
commissioned to write the pilot script which will radically revise
the UFO concept and format. "We're doing a much more contemporary
version. It really plays more towards paranoia, (...) In our show,
there are aliens already living amongst us."

It seems that they will dropping some elements like the secret HQ
hidden beneath the film studio, the purple-wigged space trackers and
the fleet of futuristic spaceships and aircraft. "I think the
hardware that you can expect to see will not be very different from
what is immediately available to us today."

The producers are keen to retain characters like Straker and Foster,
but more updated and contemporary. They want to cast actors of the
calibre of George Clooney and Colin Farrell.

Gerry Anderson has and will be kept involved in the development of
the series.

Sounds a little bit like a new series :-(
