The bit about "Voyager II's invitation" is just ad hype. Basicly, the story (this info is gleaned from the January 1985 CINEFANTASTIQUE) is that an alien ship is shot down in Wisconsin. The lone occupant finds his way to a cabin inhabited by widow Jenny Hayden, played by Karen (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) Allen. The alien comes across a lock of hair from her dead husband, cracks the DNA code for it, and alters his body to match that of her husband, played by Jeff (TRON) Bridges. And, of course, they fall in love, etc., etc., but he has to go back to his home planet, etc., etc. The film is directed by John (THE THING) Carpenter, co-produced by Michael (ROMANCING THE STONE) Douglas, and has make-up effects by Rick (AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) Baker and Dick (ALTERED STATES) Smith. --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Maynard, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...}!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA
