Space:1999 moving to 2099


Hey there. Pat here with a sci-fi entry today. Back in September, 1975, (two months after I got married), a TV show premiered called Space:1999. It was a sci-fi show that took place on a futuristic runaway moon in the year 1999.
With terrific special effects, (for 1975), and a large international cast. It was one of my favorites. Today, however; its looking pretty old. With some pretty funky music. (Oh, and by the way, its now 2010!)
Apparently that is all about to change. A recent website has been calling for an update to the classic series. With digitally enhanced special effects. Scene re-edits to quicken and tighten script and pace, the series would be moved forward to the year 2099. New music has been recorded, and now John Koenig (Martin Landau), and crew will once more tour the galaxy on a quest to seek out a new home.
Cool beans!
