The Movie
The first made-for-TV movie was released theatrically in March 1979. The movie made $21 million at the North American box office, prompting Universal to move ahead with a weekly series later that year. The movie, which was also released internationally, featured all of the main protagonist characters who would be seen in the weekly series, as well as the series chief antogonist, Princess Ardala of the planet Draconia, and her associate/henchman Kane.

Famous quotes containing the word movie:
“Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
