Film based on 60s series UFO being made

[Quad]

Technically it started in 1970 so I cant edit the title.


Didn't find anything on the forum search about this story. Legendary producer Robert Evans (check out the book "The Kid Stays in the Picture" or the documentary) is making a movie based on UFO. Just bought the series on DVD (on sale at Amazon) Haven't seen it since I was a kid.

Not a great series but some fun moments and it had Gabrielle Drake! Never knew she was the sister of Nick Drake, the late great musician.
