Joshua Jackson is set to star in the film remake of the  sci-fi TV series UFO.

“Fringe” star Joshua Jackson will topline “UFO,” the feature film version of the British TV series that will be directed by visual effects wiz Matthew Gratzner.

Jackson will star 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. The series was a cult hit in the ’70s.

This is an odd little bit of news, and an equally odd choice of casting. Jackson isn’t exactly a big movie actor, but I guess his time on fringe has proven his sci-fi compatibility. Maybe it will be a good project.
