UFO starring Gillian Anderson gets poster & release info

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

A day or so ago we shared with you guys the first trailer for the new UFO thriller cleverly titled UFO starring the first lady of THE X-FILES herself Gillian Anderson. And if that wasn't enough to wet your appetite for some more alien-abduction thrills, maybe today's poster will change your mind.

I doubt it but all the same, if you are interested in checking out this new sci-fi thriller from writer-director Ryan Eslinger you'll be happy to hear the movie will be debuting on digital and DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment September 4th. Along with the above-mentioned Anderson, the thriller also stars Tony Award winner Alex Sharp, Academy Award® nominee David Strathairn, Ella Purnell, and Ben Beatty.

It begins with:

Derek (Alex Sharp) a brilliant college student, haunted by a childhood UFO sighting, believes that mysterious sightings reported at multiple airports across the United States areUFO’s. With the help of his girlfriend, Natalie (Ella Purnell), and his advanced mathematics professor, Dr. Hendricks (The X-Files’ Gillian Anderson), Derek races to unravel the mystery with FBI special agent Franklin Ahls (David Strathairn) on his heels.

Personally, I'm not finding much to like about this film thus far. But that said, the fact that it managed to gather up such top talents as Anderson and Strathairn has me thinking there may be a lot more going on with this movie than the lackluster marketing has put forth so far. I'm going to be checking it out just in case. Will you?

UFO was produced by Jeffery Sharp, Tom Rice and Evan Hayes; and executive produced by Jim Kohlberg, Siegfried Harris, and Dan Kaplow. UFO has a run time of approximately 93 minutes and is rated PG-13 for some drug material and language. Once again, the movie will be debuting on digital and DVD from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment on September 4th.

Until then you can check out the trailer again below along with the new poster. Enjoy!
