Roadside Attractions has nabbed U.S. rights to R.W. Goodwin’s comedy sci-fi pic ALIEN TRESPASS ahead of its preem at the Palm Springs Intl. Film Festival. Roadside will open the film in 22 markets on April 3. Starring Eric McCormack (“Will and Grace”), film is a homage to alien invasion films of the 1950s. Goodwin is no stranger to the genre, having helmed and exec produced multiple episodes of “The X-Files.” Set in 1957, Alien Trespass chronicles a fiery object from outer space that crashes into a mountaintop in the California desert, bringing the threat of disaster to Earth. Out of the flying saucer escapes a murderous creature – the Ghota, which is bent on destroying all life forms on the planet. A benevolent alien from the spaceship, Urp, inhabits the body of Ted Lewis (McCormack) – a local astronomer – and with the help of Tammy (Jenni Baird), a waitress from the local diner, sets out to save mankind.
