"Galaxy Quest," a sci-fi parody film released in 1999, became a fan favorite despite not performing well at the box office. The movie follows a group of actors from a cult TV show who find themselves in a real-alien-world scenario. The film was initially supposed to be directed by Harold Ramis, but he had reservations about casting Tim Allen as the lead. The alien planet scenes were shot in Goblin Valley State Park in Utah, and the actors playing the alien race attended a "Thermian school" to learn how to move and talk like their characters. The movie won the sci-fi award for Best Dramatic Presentation in 2000. Sigourney Weaver revealed that there was once an R-rated version of the film, but it was re-edited to make it more family-friendly.
