Fire in the Sky Remake (Interview w Travis Walton)

Hey everyone! We were lucky enough to interview Travis Walton at Scarefest in Lexington, KY and he dropped some news on us as well....

Very cool. :thumbup:

Love that movie, very well done. Funny, we just sold a copy at work yesterday.

I'm not too interested in the remake idea. Firstly, the 'actual events' are kind of boring. Secondly, we don't know if it's really true, anyway (the only proof is a lie detector test). Thirdly, there is already tv documentaries about it.

Fire in the Sky was a good mix of drama and horror (and no use of CGI that I can remember).

Lie Detector test results aren't 'proof' of anything. Secondly, given what we know about how evolution works and the distances involved in the universe, the idea that any civilization has evolved from a single-cell organism to the point of self-awareness AND developing interstellar space travel technology while at the same time knowing exactly where Earth is (let alone the fact that there's life here) is astronomically improbable.

So in a nutshell, despite the fact the original movie is damn good, Travis Walton himself is full of shit.

If only 1% of the planets in all exhistence fit the goldilocks archetype... then over a trillion planets can support life. If one of those evolved before us.. then it is possible it has advanced technology

Well it has already happened with human beings so probability is one.

Interstellar travel, though.. if an alien civilisation was only a few hundred years ahead of us technology-wise than it's entirely possible. That all depends though, if life really is a rare event or is actually widespread throughout the universe.

No, I don't believe Walton, though.
