The big screen adaptation of Gerry Anderson’s UFO gains a director and charts a course towards production.

To celebrate the definitive release of Gerry Anderson’s Fireball XL5 on DVD, SciFiNow has joined up with Network and arranged a special event on Saturday 27 June at the Odeon Covent Garden, London.

In an interview with SciFiNow Gerry Anderson had plenty to say about the upcoming big screen version of UFO:

SciFiNow interviewed Gerry Anderson recently and had a lengthy discussusion about his sci-fi legacy. Over the duration of our interview we learnt a great deal about Anderson’s skills with supermarionation (Fireball XL5, Thunderbirds), and also the talent he exhibited creating live-action features such as UFO and Space: 1999.
