A for Andromeda (2006)
In the Yorkshire Dales, a mysterious signal from space arrives with instructions to build a powerful super-computer. Once completed, the device's motives provokes discourse between scientists John Fleming and Madeleine Dawnay as further instructions are to create a living organism, which Dawnay develops. The entity compels lab assistant Christine to commit suicide, and, upon manifestation, adopts her form, now known as Andromeda.

趣闻
A for Andromeda is a 2006 remake of the 1961 TV series of the same name by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot.
Production
The series was produced by Richard Fell, who the previous year had overseen The Quatermass Experiment, a live remake of the 1953 TV series of the same name, also largely absent from the BBC archives.
Talking about the decision to commission the remake, Fell said, "We thought A for Andromeda was too good an opportunity to miss... it is the obvious follow up [to The Quatermass Experiment]. It had a huge impact when it arrived. It's also lost to the TV archives and it was an amazing story and, like Quatermass, very forward looking".
Fell also adapted Hoyle and Elliot's original teleplays; at 85 minutes, this new version was much shorter than the original which ran for almost 300 minutes. In condensing the script, Fell used considerably fewer characters and locations. This included resetting the location from a radio telescope to a signals intelligence ground station.
Cast as Christine/Andromeda was Kelly Reilly. Fleming was played by Tom Hardy. Bridger was played by Charlie Cox and Vandenberg by David Haig. Dawnay was played by Jane Asher; Fell had hoped to be able to cast Julie Christie in this role as a nod to the original but the actress was unavailable. Directed by John Strickland, it was shot on location in early 2006 at Stanmore Air Base and the Brecon Beacons.
