Fringe star Joshua Jackson battles inner AND outer demons — from outer space!
Jackson will star in UFO as Paul Foster, a test pilot who joins S.H.A.D.O. (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization), a covert org built under a Hollywood studio that defends Earth against a race of aliens who have been abducting humans and using the body parts for heinous reasons.
The series was a live action hit in the 1970s for Brit producers Gerry and Sylvia Anderson who gave the world Space 1999, Thunderbirds, Fireball XL5 and Supercar.
"Character development is the most critical part of UFO and Joshua’s terrific talent and range is exactly what I need to convey the inner conflict of the character of Paul Foster," producer Matthew Gratzner revealed.
The ENQUIRER has learned Graztner was the visual effects supervisor on Iron Man and he’s aiming for a spring start in the U.K when Jackson is on hiatus from Fringe.
No word yet on who will topline as Straker the Nehru-jacket clad blond fury who heads the covert anti-alien org.
