Steven Spielberg Developing a UFO Movie As His Next Project

The 1991 version was directed by Martin Scorsese, who will serve as an executive producer on the series. It will team Scorsese with another of Hollywood's most celebrated filmmakers, Steven Spielberg,whose Amblin Television is underwriting the project along with Universal Cable Productions.
