Galaxy Quest tv series!

[Otis McNutt 395]

One of my favorite movies may soon be a tv series. It was announced that cult hit Galaxy Quest is getting the TV series treatment.

 

For those unfamiliar Galaxy Quest was a wacky comedy that centered on a washed up actor named Jason Nesmith (Tim Allen) whose only real claim to fame is his character Chuck Taggart on a 80's Sci-fi series called Galaxy Quest. Nesmith meets a couple of people thinking that they are fans but in reality are humanoid extra terrestrials who transport him to an exact replica of the ship from Galaxy Quest (The NSEA Protector). The aliens who had no culture of their own modelled their society on that of the characters of the show (they intercepted the signal broadcast into space thinking it was real). Nesmith returns to Earth and recruits his former co-stars to save the Aliens from their enemy.

 

If you've never seen it I highly recommend it. I own it on DVD (the original release) and Blu-Ray (Special Edition) plus digital on Amazon Instant Video.
