" Joshua Jackson has signed up to star in the big screen adaptation of British cult TV series UFO. The Dawson&amp;#039;s Creek and Fringe star will play lead character Paul Foster, while Matthew Gratzner (Shutter Island, Iron Man) will direct, according to Variety. Foster is a test pilot who joins the Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organisation [SHADO], a secret group who operate underneath a Hollywood studio. SHADO&amp;#039;s purpose is to protect Earth from a human-abducting race of aliens. The Gerry Anderson TV series was a hit in the 1970s. &amp;quot;Character development is the most critical part of UFO, and Joshua&amp;#039;s terrific talent and range is exactly what I need to convey the inner conflict of the character of Paul Foster,&amp;quot; said Gratzner. Shooting is scheduled to start in the UK next spring. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
