"'UFO' sighting on UC's campus
University of Cincinnati becomes the backdrop for extraterrestrial aliens and college mathematicians who try to crack the code
University of Cincinnati students watched their campus come to life
on the big screen — a really big screen.
UC’s A&S Tribunal played host Oct. 15 to a mystery-hungry crowd as
they viewed the newly released movie “UFO" — a film that features
campus in multiple scenes — on Nippert stadium’s massive video
screen.
As part of the Tribunal’s annual “Spooky Movie Night,” sci-fi lovers
were treated to mystifying yet recognizable scenes from around their
university.
“We’ve had several movies filmed on our campus in the last decade,
but this is the first time we let them use our brand and university name,"
said Marty Ludwig, UC director of Trademarks & Licensing. “The
production crew from Cincy Dawn [which later sold the film to Sony
Pictures] loved our campus. The mix of new, as well as old architecture
on our campus made a strong impact in the movie that centers around
Cincinnati, CVG airport and UC.”
The look of a college campus is tricky to duplicate, Ludwig says, even
with impressive camerawork, so most movies filmed on a college
campus are actually shot on a real campus with the branding
manipulated to look like a generic college.
But in this case the script was so good that Ludwig permitted the
producers to use UC’s name and brand in the film.
Hollywood comes to UC
The movie, shot on campus in October 2016,
presents X-Files star Gillian Anderson dealing with yet another
possibility of extraterrestrials. "UFO" is now available on DVD and
soon will stream on Netflix.
In this film, Anderson plays UC professor of mathematics Rebecca
Hendricks who is a believer of the otherworldly beings. She becomes
involved in helping her student Derek Echevaro (Alex Sharp), a UC
math whiz still haunted by a UFO sighting as a child, use mathematical
equations to solve the mysterious sightings reported at airports across
the country. The story centers on a UFO sighting at nearby CVG airport."
