The film will be set in the not too distant future and follows the same concept as the original 70s TV show created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, a race of aliens attacks Earth and hunts humans to harvest their body parts.

As previously reported the movie is being produced by Robert Evans’ (The Saint) company, with a screenplay by Ryan Gaudet and Joseph Kanarek. Matthew Gratzner is on board to direct, this will be his directing debut but Gratzner has previously worked on visual effects for Hancock, Iron Man and Resident Evil: Extinction.
