What if Skyline was British, didn’t take place in a big city apartment complex, and at some point Jean-Claude Van Damme shows up with a shotgun? That’s kind of the impression I got from the trailer for UFO.

Synopsis:
It started with a blackout, all power and communications down. Hours later city sized UFOs invade the world’s skies. Then the war began…

Five friends attempt to navigate their way to survival amidst deteriorating chaos as the world descends into terror and anarchy during an alien invasion and interstellar war.

That’s the plot to Airborne director Dominic Burns’ upcoming low budget British alien invasion flick UFO. The movie has garnered a bit more press than it probably would have thanks to the casting of Jean-Claude Van Damme, albeit in a small role. Getting him involved probably wasn’t too hard considering the film’s star is Van Damme’s adult daughter, Bianca Bree.

She’s not the only celebrity offspring in the cast: Sean Brosnan, son of ex-James Bond Pierce Brosnan, co-stars. Simon Phillips (Airborne), Julian Glover (most recently of “Game of Thrones”), and Sean Pertwee (The Seasoning House, Dog Soldiers) round out the cast.

According to Hey U Guys UK, UFO is due in British theaters on January 11th. I presume it will invade America sometime later next year.
