Scores of UFO Enthusiasts Flock to Nevada
Desert to Witness Planetary Alignment Fulfilling
Ancient Prophecy
To Entertain the Alien Aficionados and Celebrate the May 2 Home Video and DVD
Release of ... Galaxy Quest
DreamWorks Home Entertainment Unveils the World's First Alien Beacon and
Screens
'Galaxy Quest' Under the Stars on May 4
GLENDALE, Calif., April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- On May 5, 2000, Mars, Saturn,
Jupiter, Mercury and Venus will
align with our planet, the sun and the moon for the first time in 6,000 years
-- an astrological phenomenon that
some believe will create a vortex in outer space and allow extraterrestrial
life to visit earth. Psychics,
astrologers, pyramid experts, prophesiers of the apocalypse and Nostradamus
all predict that the extraordinary
planet configuration will bring chaos to earth.
On the eve of this historic five-planet alignment, masses of UFO enthusiasts
donning intergalactic costumes will
converge upon the world-famous Little A'Le'Inn, located on the
Extraterrestrial Highway (Highway 375), near the
military's Groom Dry Lake base (known to conspiracy theorists as ``Area
51''). To mark this historic event and
celebrate the May 2 home video and DVD release of the $70 million hit comedy
film Galaxy Quest,
DreamWorks Home Entertainment will dedicate of the world's first alien beacon
-- a giant flying saucer emitting
a powerful beam of light into cosmos to welcome all inter-galactic and
terrestrial visitors. DreamWorks also will
host an alien costume contest awarding TV/VCR combos and cash to the winners,
followed by a free outdoor
screening of Galaxy Quest to entertain the crowds as they await the
prophesized alien arrivals.
The Little A'Le'Inn, a quaint motel and restaurant 115 miles northwest of Las
Vegas, has long been a mecca for
UFO believers because of its close proximity to Groom Dry Lake Air Force
Base. The highly secretive
government installation is rumored to house alien remains from an alleged UFO
crash that took place in
Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Since then, the area has developed mythical
status and continues to draw
crowds of UFO aficionados and conspiracy theorists from across the globe.
Galaxy Quest, the fun-filled and action-packed space ODD-yssey features a
stellar cast including Tim Allen
(Home Improvement, The Santa Clause), three-time Academy Award� nominee
Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, A
Map of the World), Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Sense and Sensibility), Tony
Shalhoub (A Civil Action), Sam
Rockwell (The Green Mile), Daryl Mitchell (Home Fries) and Enrico Colantoni
(Stigmata).
FILM SYNOPSIS
They're not astronauts ... they only played them on TV.
For four adventurous years, ``Commander Peter Quincy Taggart'' (Tim
Allen),
"Doctor Lazarus" (Alan Rickman), and "Gwen DeMarco" (Sigourney Weaver) risked
their lives on dangerous missions in space aboard the NSEA Protector -- until
their series was cancelled. Twenty years later, the stars of Galaxy Quest are
still on a mission, appearing at science fiction conventions for far-out fans.
But when a group of aliens intercept the show's television transmissions and
mistake them for "historical documents" they beam the crew into space to help
them in their all-too-real war against a deadly adversary. Now, with no
script, no director and no clue, the actors have to turn in the performances
of their lives to become the heroes the Thermians believe them to be ... .
In keeping with the film's sharp wit, DreamWorks Home Entertainment is
pushing the envelope with the Galaxy
Quest DVD. In an intergalactic first, the Galaxy Quest DVD will boast a
Thermian language track -- a dubbed
and synched audio featuring the screeching language of the movie's friendly
aliens. The DVD also features
seven deleted scenes, over ten minutes of additional, hilarious footage, that
further explore the characters and
key scenes of the film. Also included is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look
at the making of the movie,
entitled ``On Location In Space.'' The program is a fun backstage look at
talent at work, as well as a glimpse at
the technological advances and challenges involved in making the movie. Other
DVD extras include the
theatrical trailer, production notes, cast and crew bios, with all-new sound
bites from the talent, and much more!
Galaxy Quest is directed by Dean Parisot (``Home Fries''), who won an Academy
Award� for his short film
``The Appointments of Dennis Jennings.'' The film is produced by Academy
Award� winner Mark Johnson
(``Rain Man'') and Charles Newirth. The screenplay is by David Howard and
Robert Gordon, from a story by
David Howard. The executive producer is Elizabeth Cantillon, with Suzann
Ellis and Sona Gourgouris serving
as co-producers.
In honor of this intergalactic event, a group of GALAXY QUEST Thermians, one
of the films' hilarious alien
contingents, will be on hand to co-host the event with DreamWorks. The
Thermians, who flew to Earth from the
Klatu Nebula to recruit the unwitting cast of a hit sci-fi show from the
1970s in their desperate war against their
arch rivals, will join Rachel, Nevada residents, Area 51 conspiracy
theorists, UFO believers, astrologers,
among others for a once-in-a-lifetime evening under the heavens.
DreamWorks SKG was formed in October 1994, by its three principal partners,
Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey
Katzenberg and David Geffen -- as a single company to produce live-action
motion pictures; animated feature
films and television programs; network, syndicated and cable television
programming; records; books; toys;
consumer products and interactive entertainment.
