UFO (Remake)
In May 2009 it was announced that producer Robert Evans and ITV Global would be teaming up to produce a big screen adaptation of the series. Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek were writing the script, which would be set in 2020. On 23 July 2009, it was revealed that the UFO movie would see visual effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner make his directorial debut. On 23 November 2009, it was confirmed that Joshua Jackson would be playing the role of Paul Foster, and that the spring start of the movie would be in summer 2010. Ali Larter was also linked to the role of Col. Virginia Lake in the movie.
Contrary to initial reports that SHADO HQ would be hidden under a Hollywood studio, director Gratzner confirmed in an interview that the base would remain in Britain. The degree to which other elements of the TV show (the design of the UFOs, for example) would be replicated in the film was unknown as of early March 2011, though Gratzner did state that the aliens would be humanoid in form.
Heroes star Ali Larter has been in talks to play the role of Col. Virginia Lake on the remake of UFO, the 1970's US Sci-Fi television show that announced last July. Matthew Gratzner reveals Larter may reprise the role originaly plyed by British actress Wanda Ventham.
"There are three movies planned. The first script is completed, and number two and number three are treatments - and numbers two and three are even more spectacular!."
