........A play on "it Came From Outer Space" -

Just wondered if this kind of movie has ever been done before?

How bout a planet of aliens/zombies, who are invaded by humans for a change? Then the humans are seen as the villains and killers?

I know it would be a bit hard to do, but always like the reversal of these typical roles. Mind you, I'm no expert, this may well ahve been covered!

Just an idea I had in my head today!

I've never seen it done in feaure form, but I think "Futurama" had more than one episode that followed this same premise.

I think that Paul Verhoeven put some of this sentiment in Starship Troopers.

Ohhh... Never saw an episode of futurama, but I do like the concept of humans being perceived as the killers/aliens... am surprised it hasn't really been done before properly.

If I thought I could write horror, I'd give it a go at a short.......hmmmm, maybe I will! Wait and see! <<I probably would have, but now got my travelling to organise!!!

Thanks for getting back to me!!  ;D

Yeah, it's an idea that's been done before, but I think it's still a good one.

Andy - you should really make an effort to see Futurama, it's a great show (if you like that sort of thing). All 4 seasons are on DVD now.
