Variety is reporting that Joshua Jackson (Fringe) will star in UFO, the feature film adaptation of the British TV series to be directed by visual effects guru Matthew Gratzner. The Gerry Anderson-created series was a cult hit in the 1970s. The film, written by Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek, is scheduled to start shooting in the spring in the UK.
Jackson will star as Paul Foster, a test pilot who joins S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization), a covert organization built under a Hollywood studio that defends Earth against a race of aliens who have been abducting humans and using the body parts.
