“U F uh-O” started out as a script for a producer looking for a science fiction comedy (“Galaxy Quest,” “Men in Black”). Two more producers took a look. Then, in the ineffable way of Hollywood, nothing happened. So Mason rewrote her script as a story. Prose writing is so much more fun than scriptwriting!
