With the second season of Fringe well under way, Joshua Jackson is no stranger to the sci-fi circuit. Next up for the actor? Jackson will be starring in the film adaptation of the British series UFO.
The show was a cult favorite of the ’70s, and centered around a covert defense agency that protects earthlings against aliens who abducted humans and used their body parts.
Jackson will be playing Paul Foster, a test pilot who joins the organization.
The film will be directed by Matthew Graztner, who has served as visual effects supervisor for such movies as Iron Man and the upcoming Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio collaboration, Shutter Island.
Although Graztner’s specialty is visuals, that’s not what he sees as the most important part of UFO. “Character development is the most critical part of UFO,” he says.
The series was written for the screen by Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek,...
