Matthew Gratzner and Avi Haas, the producers hoping to bring a UFO-Movie to the silver screen, have stated on their website: ‘This is a BIG film and it takes time to prepare a project of this magnitude. Like you we are huge fans of the original series and want to do it justice.’ With that statement the movie is being postponed another year, release date now says 2013. Sounds like…

All throughout my career with SHADO I have been used to seeing our somewhat eerie black and white logo, with that slash of vermilion, much like spilled blood, on the wall of headquarters, or on our uniforms. And now, that the new movie is being planned, there’s this new logo. This “updated” one. Yes, the typography is slightly more modern. But is that logo better? Or even only more modern…
As we had a little bird tell us, Gerry Anderson is not exactly convinced of the script for the upcoming UFO movie. Anderson, who is on board as an advisor, hopefully will manage to have some input. So far the start of production has been postponed several times, and the cast is also not yet been decided upon. We will keep you primed on the latest development!
