Oh man... I was thinking about that show called Project UFO about those two Air Force Officers assigned to Project Blue Book and went around investigating sightings of extraterrestrials and unidentified flying objects.

Interesting choice. The effects of the show were remarkable for television at the time, but the stories were some of the cheesiest things ever written. I suppose the budget went for the effects and the title song/sequence.
I'm intrigued. I wonder what they'll do with it. But maybe the production staff is under mind control from the aliens.

Notice the symbol on the standing ones belt, I see an “R” rating and a catfight that ends in making up.

Super!! More Hollyweird “has-been” garbage that I can ignore at the very over-priced movie multiplex!!

Purple wigs are back?
Will they be doing this one with live actors or with puppets that have 6 different heads apiece?

Oh come on! DO SOMETHING ORIGINAL!!!!!! Hey, at least they're not doing a Quark feature film.
Yet.
They'd have to "re-imagine" that one to get rid of the character that switched back and forth between masculine and feminine personalities. We're not allowed to laugh at that sort of stuff anymore, y'know.

Dunno. I liked UFO (was always sad that they didn't do some sort of coherent story arc). If the reviews aren't horrible (Aliens disguise themselves a Tea Partiers and ‘Pubbies) I'll go see it.
