Please stop with the whole "dumbed down so that US audiences 'get it'" - Its insulting and inaccurate. I for one an not stupid because I am an American and I believe an apology is in order.

      It isn't going to happen. They don't have the funding.



Steve Alten's 'Meg' is far more 'current', arguably has a larger 'fan base',

can point to book sales as an indicator of popularity. And is still 'in

development' as far as a film goes. Alten publishes monthly updates, and for

the past few years has been stating that shooting will start 'soon'.



And if UFO ever is made, it will more than likely be a Hollywood

production... which means rewriting of characters and plot to become

politically correct and appeal to 'viewer segments'; will be set in the US;

will value CGI over acting, story line and suspense; and will be dumbed down

so that US audiences 'get it'. Oh, and will either have a "happy ending" or

a dumb-ending that spoon-feeds a sequel, rather than the open-ended nature

of the original series.  UFO simply doesn't fit to a movie format. Its too

big, too long, and too wide in scope.

Well, supposedly UFO is to going to be made into a big budget movie with

the possibility of two sequels!



However, the company that is planning to do this has been pushing back

the start date again and again, so who knows if anything will ever

happen with that. The last indication I saw that this was still in the

works was a March 10th Facebook post from New Deal Studios that

said:



"Project still moving forward."
