The SCI FI Channel has ordered a full 13-episode season of the new original, scripted drama series "Sanctuary," it was announced today by Mark Stern, Executive Vice President of Original Programming. "Sanctuary" is the first television series using live-action actors against mostly virtual sets and makes the leap to television from the Internet where it began as the World's first high-definition sci-fi Web series.
In the one-hour drama, Amanda Tapping ("Stargate's" Lt. Col. Samantha Carter) stars as the enigmatic Dr. Helen Magnus who, along with her young protg, Will Zimmerman, played by Robin Dunne ("Dawson's Creek," Species 3), are on a quest to track down, aid and protect all manner of strange creatures that walk the earth. The show's sets are 90% CGI and shot in the same cutting-edge style as the feature films 300 and Sin City. Sanctuary creator, Damian Kindler ("Stargate SG-1") and producer/director Martin Wood ("Stargate Atlantis") are Executive Producers. Tapping and Sam Egan ("Jeremiah," "The Outer Limits," "Masters of Science Fiction") also serve as Executive Producers. In addition to her producing and starring turns on "Sanctuary," Amanda Tapping will also make guest appearances on several episodes of SCI FI Channel's "Stargate Atlantis" during its 5th season.
"'Sanctuary' promises to be a totally fresh television viewing experience," said Stern. "This stylistic approach to 'virtual sets' has proven hugely popular on the big screen, and we have been looking for a chance to use it on a television series. We've worked with Damian, Martin, Amanda, and Sam on numerous projects in the past, and think they are the perfect team to tackle something this ambitious."
"Sanctuary" will be produced by Stage 3 Media in association with the SCI FI Channel. Tricon Films and Television are worldwide distributors of the show.

Word is coming that while Paramount is simply trying to fill in some post-writers strike gaps, there is still a lot of talking going on behind the scenes on when the movie is best to premiere.
Preliminary indications are that "Star Trek XI" could be moved to Memorial Day weekend a few weeks later, but there may be some grander thoughts on a much more high-profile release date.
"There are a few people here who want the Star Trek franchise to become the studio's new Fourth of July slam-dunk," said the source, who asked not to be named. "I don't know how well that will work because 'Star Trek' is not considered the kind of action fare that usually works as a summer blockbuster, but there's a lot of history behind summer releases that could really help" the franchise.
"Star Trek used to be a summer franchise, but for some reason, in recent years, it was moved back to being more holiday fare," the source said.
Of the 10 Star Trek movies already released, only "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (June 4, 1982), "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock" (June 1, 1984) and "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" (June 9, 1989) were summer movies. While the box office returns for those films were a mixed bag, many fans would say that had to do more with the content of those movies than their actual release date.
Many fans were angered by Paramount's move that took "Star Trek XI" off the Christmas schedule, and rumors are still abounding that the move was more to allow some script rewrites on a film already over budget, according to some reports.
For now, however, Paramount is sticking with its May 8, 2009 date.

Posted : February 05/2008 Despite the excellent two-hour Razor movie, it feels as though it's been ages since the last new episode of Battlestar Galactica. The season 3 finale left fans gasping at the big reveal that Colonel Tigh (Michael Hogan), Sam Anders, Chief Tyrol (Aaron Douglas), and Tory Foster were Cylons, and we've been left debating the meaning behind it all since last March. Now, after waiting months for an official announcement, the Sci Fi Channel has finally revealed that Battlestar Galactica season will begin Friday, April 4, at 10pm. It's unknown whether the Friday location will be the show's permanent time slot, or if it'll move to a different place on the schedule following the premiere.
