Cover Description: 22 years ago, FBI agent Fox Mulder's sister disappeared, abducted by a force he believes was extraterrestrial. Since then, Mulder (David Duchovny) has devoted his life to finding the truth.
Now, three identical men are dead, their bodies all missing. The dead appear to be alien clones who have come to earth to colonise it. Mulder and his partner, Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), must find the hidden colony before an elusive bounty hunter destroys it. In the course of the investigation, the two agents may discover if Mulder's sister is still alive.
Packed with sudden twists and riveting suspense, Colony serves up intrigue in every possible direction. Nothing is ever as it seems. Trust no one.
Inside Cover - Behind The Scenes: How do you create the illusion that one actor is in more than one place at one time? All it takes is a little imagination ... behind the scenes. A stunning special effect in "Colony" occurs when five Gregor clones are taken into FBI custody. To achieve the shot, director Nick Marck filmed actor Dana Gladstone inside the rear car and then had him change clothing so he could be shot entering the front car. Matted together, Marck succeeded in creating the illusion of clones by overlapping the scenes and cutting them with the car in motion.
