Time flying by, seems like yesterday when you played David Vincent back in the sixties....72 years....Well....Keep on truckin' Roy...seems you are busier than ever.
Chris: yes, there is a new movie on "THE INVADERS" that is still being planned by James Finch, who works in the television and movie industry. But you'll have to be patient, as the work of the planning stages is very slow, and news updates are slow in coming. But this is a good thing, because James Finch, Alan Almer, Roy Thinnes, Dominic Frontiere, and others who will be working on the movie together, want it to be DONE CORRECTLY THIS TIME! This is of necessity going to have to take a lot of time, with no rush jobs, and certainly no ignorance of the original Quinn-Martin Production "The Invaders"(ABC 1967-68) 43-episode television series!!!!! It may be also significant that it has had to wait until the series is at least 43 years old and over before anything of this new movie is to be accomplished! Lindsay.
Hey Lindsay....Wish I could work on the script for the upcoming movie...it would be done just like the series scripts only longer for a movie and yeh...I am glad Roy et al, are taking it slow to make sure the thing is done right.
It has probably been mentioned before, but does anyone know Roy's official height? I'd reckon it to be around 6'0.
Just to inform that D.V. - the greatest self-made James Bond ever - is back fighting the bad-ET-guys four times a week (two runs on Saturdays; two on Sundays), on a cable TV channel in Brazil.
Hi, Stan! You should e-mail James Finch at: cogency1@yahoo.com to ask him if he would be interested in hiring you as one of the script writers for the planned new "Invaders" movie. I really think that you should not be left out of it if you really believe in being faithful to the original Q.M. series. Since he and the others in the group will eventually need script writers sooner or later anyway, why not try it out? Lindsay.
Awwright, Jay! Brazil rocks!! Lindsay.
Thanks buddy....I will do that.
Hey guy...I tried that email...it came back undeliverable. Thanks anyway.
Egads!! Maybe THAT'S why James Finch doesn't respond to me! Thanks. Whenever I can, I'll try to get another e-mail address to you if I can find one. Lindsay.
where can i see in internet the full episodes ,someboddy can tell me?
I LOVE VERY MUCH THAT SERIES,I AM 48 YEARS OLD AND YOU ARE THE PERFECT ACTOR FOR THAT TV SHOW, AND I WILL LIKE TO SEE IN TV THE INVADERS ONE MORE TIME
Hi Everyone,
Some questions that have never been answered about 'The Invaders'
1)Why has there never been a film-remake? 2)Why did Roy never reach super-star status(he is one of the best actor's of all-time) 3)Why was there no conclusion to the story?
Hi Danmax
In answer to your question asking where on the internet can you see the full episodes, my answer is: hopefully, nowhere. The long-overdue DVD release needs to be justified by people buying it!
Good questions. I'm sure they've all been discussed here at one time or another, but of course no-one (that we know, at least) can provide the definitive answer to any of them.
As you may or may not have noticed, there's a rumour going around of the idea of a movie being promoted by James "Finchy" Finch, a long-standing Invaders fan and acquaintance of Roy's. Recent efforts to e-mail him at his last known e-mail address have proved unsuccessful, so I may have to e-mail my old mate Paulie in Florida to see what he has to say - or indeed, I could write to Roy himself. Watch this space...
The TV series didn't conclude properly mainly because it was planned to run to a third season, but due to poor ratings in its 'native' U.S.A. it was cancelled altogether after Season 2.
As for Roy not having attained 'superstar' status, that's a difficult one! I do of course fully concur with your appraisal of his talent as an actor, but unfortunately I have no real answer to your question.
I hope to call you again soon with a view to catching you when you're next down in London. All the best for now matey, cheers.
Thanks for answering me, what a shame, I'ma fan of the invaders and I would love to see them all again, gather together the money to buy some day, I thought I could see some page, but also I appreciate your good response, and we talk some other time bye .
James Finch just updated his website with some news about his work on the Invaders movie.
http://roythinnes.com/ufo_news.html
I've just exchanged e-mails with James, who confirmed that he is still actively working on The Invaders movie project. I have no details on how far he's managed to take it, but I get the impression that it's something of a 'slow burner' with many obstacles to overcome!
Jaimi...The only so called movie made was a made-for-tv movie that starred Scott (Star Trek: Enterprise)Bakula, and Richard (The Waltons)Thomas...Roy played David again, much older now but in a very minor role. The film turned out to be big disappointment because the director and quite possibly the writer of that adaptation, did not stick to the basic premise of The Invaders, set up by Larry Cohen and the producers of the tv. series.
It seems Roy and others are trying hard to get a new movie made...for theatrical presentation. Let us hope they succeed.
Nan Martin, the actress who played Dr. Maria McKinley in the episode VALLEY OF THE SHADOW from THE INVADERS, died on March 3, 2010 at age 82. The character she played was rather niave doctor whose husband was killed by an alien...but the alien was arrested and put in jail...Vincent arrives to prove the alien does exist...in the meantime...the aliens make a difficult decision when the alien escapes and immolates in the town square, thus making the entire populace of the small community subject to obliteration....very good episode.
Thanks for mentioning this, Stan. I saw it in the newspaper that Nan Martin passed away, but decided not to say anything on the forum to see when and what others would say. As always, the newspaper article didn't mention a single doggone thing about her appearance in "THE INVADERS", but said plenty that she portrayed these old "stern mother" types in several movies, and other shows. Even after the DVD release, you would think that "The Invaders" would be mentioned more. But no! Anyway Stan, Hope you had a happy Memorial Day weekend. Lindsay.
Thanks Lindsay...I know others have passed away in the last year or so, but I have had computer problems so they did not get posted. Like for Richard or those who run the page to set up a Memorial Page of those who appeared in THE INVADERS...giving their name...the character they played and episode...date of birth...date of death. It would be fitting since we are all getting older and those who played a part in bringing The Invaders to the small screen, should be recognized for their contribution.
i am young boy i am 19 years
Okay, Hammad. Tell us what you know about "THE INVADERS". Lindsay.
I think Hammad thinks this is a regular chatroom. Notice what came after your question to him...it looks like the porno rats are at it again...determined to foul up a good page.
STAN
Yeah, Stan. I'm a great fan of and lover of BBWs(Big Beautiful Women)myself, but if I want to find women and BBW's for romantic purposes, here is NOT the place to do it, unless there are any single BBW's and women here on the chat forum who are also fans of Roy Thinnes and of "The Invaders" of course. This forum is strictly for "THE INVADERS" and other kindred sci-fi shows and the people that are interested in these shows. Anyway Hammad, Let's talk about "The Invaders". Tell us a little about yourself, and how you became interested in the show. Stan, hope you had a wonderful Father's Day! Lindsay.
Sure did pal....got a thick steak at a favorite restaurant with all the trimmings...cost about fifteen bucks...but...mmmmmmm...it was good!
Hmmm! Sounds like a coded, subtle, symbolic message to me. (Ha! ha!!) Lindsay.
Uh-Oh!! I hope I didn't derail our "Invaders" train of thought with this! Lindsay.
HAVE JUST ACQUIRED THE ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION OF THE INVADERS WHAT A BRILLIANT CULT SCIENCE FICTION SERIES, AND I WATCHED IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN THIS IS ONE SERIES THAT I WONT GET BORED. IF THERE IS A MOVIE PLANNED THEN I WOULD HOPE THAT IT WILL STICK TO THE OLD SERIES THAT WOULD GET ME PAYING THE MOVIE TICKET. IF IT IS JUST A REMAKE AND NOT IN LINE WITH THE SERIES THEN YOU WONT SEE ME AT THE MOVIE.
Some more news about past players in the Invaders Universe...Character Actor James Gammon died July 16, 2010 of liver cancer. Jim played the part of the teen age head of a few wild teens who stole the spores in the Gene Hackman starred episode called THE SPORES.
James Gammon was in his late sixties when he passed away. For those who want more info use your search engine for IMdb (Internet Movie Datebase) and type in their search engine James Gammon.
I wrote on here before that Jim was sixty eight...no he just turned Seventy. James Gammon was the teen leader of three wild teens who stole the spores of alien Gene Hackman in the episode of THE INVADERS titled The Spores. Some remember Jim as the alzheimer laden dad of Don Johnson on the american tv series NASH BRIDGES.
Hi, Stan! I wasn't sure who James Gammon was, and I was trying to picture in my mind which character he portrayed in 'THE SPORES' episode. But funny that I managed to think of the older brother of the three teens in the hot rod who stole the suitcase containing the spores. I still was thinking of him, but was not sure until I then read the posts and...sure enough!!!!! It is him after all. Yeah, nobody needs an older brother like he whom he portrayed in the episode! He would have all of us get disked!(Ha ha!!) Lindsay.
