SOMETHING IS OUT THERE

SOMETHING IS OUT THERE
1. US/Australian tv miniseries (1988). CPT Holdings/Hoyts for NBC. Executive prods Frank Lupo, John Ashley. Dir Richard Colla, starring Joe Cortese, Maryam d'Abo, George Dzundza. Written Lupo. 2 100min episodes.
   This sometimes exciting, often threadbare policier pits a tough Earth cop (Cortese) and a marooned, telepathic medical officer from anALIEN prison spaceship (d'Abo) - she looks both human and beautiful-against an escaped alien "xenomorph", extremely dangerous and capable of invading a human host (as in The HIDDEN [1988], which SIOT strongly resembles). In romantic buddy-movie style, he teaches her Earth customs and she teaches him monster-catching. Rick Baker's creature effects are good; the pacing is bad; the ending is ambiguous. An edited version (165 mins) was released on videotape.
2. US tv series (1989). NBC. 8 50min episodes, the last two not aired in the USA. After the promisingif uneven pilot miniseries, the series proper, again starring Cortese and d'Abo, was disappointing: crime-fighting cliches, unremarkable scripts, and little use made of the extraterrestrial elements.
