Andy Fickman is a film director who takes a serious interest in the UFO phenomenon and his new film, Race to Witch Mountain opens Friday, March 13. Anne and Whitley Strieber appear briefly in a section of the thriller that gently spoofs the UFO community. The film has a light heart, but it also raises compelling questions about the possibility of an alien presence on earth, and what it might be like for aliens who appeared human to attempt to deal with our society. This is the film that Anne wrote about in her diary a year ago.

In the film, a UFO expert struggles to help alien children who are of interest to a malign secret organization that seeks to capture them and make use of their unique powers. Such a struggle, and such a danger, are not all that far from possible, assuming aliens with unique and desirable powers--and no legal protection--were to end up here.

The movie is not a remake of the beloved 1970s film Witch Mountain, but is a new story containing some of the same elements. It's rated PG.

An interesting fact: The director, Andy Fickman, is from Roswell.

I saw it today and I have to give it a " thumbs up ". I think the whole idea of the movie is to get the younger generation interested in UFO's and possiable ET life. But, it was a pretty good movie. I saw Whitley's book display of Communion at the UFO convention in the film and then Whitley in a breif moment in the film.

Strieber's accounts of his experiences are very other worldly, like Graham Hancock's research in his book Supernatural. Some of the comments made by the " aliens " raised my eyebrows ( it's interesting to note that the aliens in the movie looked just like us ).

I don't think that this is a big " message movie ", but an introduction movie to the younger crowd about ET's.
