TAKEN
from unknown, 2002
Get ready for another spectacular close encounter of the Steven Spielberg kind in an epic 20-hour TV mini-series produced by the modern master of science fiction himself. He says, "I couldn't acquit this genre in a two hour long movie." The series is complete with what may well be the small screen's first extraterrestrial love scenes. The much-touted sci-fi channel series is called "Taken." It’s a spaced-out saga of three families linked by bizarre alien abduction experiences spanning 50 years and four generations. It features young "I Am Sam" star Dakota Fanning as an alien-human hybrid pursued by a, as she explains, "bad guy who wants to take the chip out of my brain." The eight-year-old actress says "Taken" made her more of a UFO believer than ever. She says, "I think they're probably asking the same questions that we are, ‘Are there really humans on Earth?’" Catherine Dent, who plays officer Danny Sofer on "The Shield," says, "How can you not imagine for a second that there's something out there other than us?" Catherine sure can't, especially after making love to a handsome extraterrestrial in "Taken." She says, "It's adult TV, but it's good TV." It’s a close encounter you won't want to miss.
