2012 Series Could Replace Lost

 


He continued: "We said to Mark, 'Why don't you do a TV show that picks up where the movie leaves off and call it 2013?' I think it will focus on a group of people who survived but not on the boats … maybe they were on a piece of land that was spared or one that became an island in the process of the crust moving. There are so many possibilities of what they could do and I'd be excited to watch it."

Apparently Gordon has already started talks with ABC, which will have an opening after their popular "Lost" program ends.

"There's hope for the world despite the magnitude of the 2012 disaster as seen in the film," said Gordon. "After the movie, there are some people who survive and the question is how will these survivors build a new world and what will it look like. That might make an interesting TV series."

Sci Fi Channel gets ‘Mutant Chronicles’ and ‘100 Feet’

"The Mutant Chronicles" is set in the 23rd Century when a group of corporations have destroyed the world’s resources. An underworld army of demonic Necromutants is warring with the last remaining humans.

In "100 Feet," Marnie Watson kills her abusive husband in self-defense, and as a result, she is condemned to house arrest for three years. What she quickly learns is that the house is possessed by the enraged and violent spirit of her dead husband.

"This is tragic, and the film deserved better," said the "100 Feet" director. "There were two domestic theatrical distribution offers on ‘100 Feet,’ including Magnolia. Ghost House also really wanted to take the picture. A Sci Fi Channel release down the line is great — it’s a fine network — but this film deserves a commercial shot in the theaters."

 

“Stargate: Ark of Truth,” “Continuum” is coming to Sci Fi Channel

"Ark of Truth" picks up after the "Stargate: SG-1" series finale and follows the crew fighting two powerful enemies in their attempts to obtain the ancient weapon that could defeat the sinister Ori force.

"Continuum" is an action-adventure film in which Ba’al (Cliff Simon) travels back in time and tries to prevent the Stargate program from ever starting. Naturally, the SG-1 team has something to say about that, so they’re tasked with restoring history and saving the galaxy from oppression … again.

The "Stargate" sci fi franchise began with the 1994 feature film of the same name and began its TV run with "Stargate: SG-1." "Stargate: Atlantis" spun off from "SG-1" in 2004 and will be ending its five-season run in January. It too will get a movie follow-up, which will be aired on the Sci Fi Network and then released to DVD.

A third "Stargate" series, "Universe," will premiere next summer. So don’t worry guys the Stargate Franchise is well and good. 🙂
