Sci-Fi Storm

The abnormals are plotting an uprise as Henry tries to calm them down, but his attempt doesn’t bode well. A brawl begins and as it gets broken up by gun shots toward the sky, Henry claims they have to work together as opposed to against each other. Be sure to watch the clip and tune in October 7th at 10/9c to see if Henry can get everyone to act as a team instead of the abnormals becoming their own downfall.

ORLANDO – October 10, 2011 – Syfy will premiere the hit Canadian supernatural drama Lost Girl on Monday, January 16 at 10PM (ET/PT). Syfy acquired both seasons (26 episodes) of the series from Prodigy Pictures in May.

Lost Girl stars supernatural seductress Bo (played by Anna Silk/The Ghost Whisperer), a Succubus (a powerful female entity in folklore) who feeds off sexual energy. Raised by human parents, Bo had no reason to believe she was anything other than the girl next door — until she “drained” her first boyfriend to death.

The Syfy Digital Press Tour event begins tomorrow, so I thought I’d give a little preview of what’s going on, and give you another opportunity to ask questions that I will get answers for! during the event, you can follow along with Twitter using the #syfytour hash tag, and I’ll be live tweeting through all the panels, and as much as I can during the Halloween Horror Night and Harry Potter parties!

Hoping that Karl Urban’s take on Judge Dredd would help alleviate the pain of all Dredd fans that suffered through the Sylvester Stallone flop (truthfully, I enjoy it as a humorous schlock film)?? You may have to wait a while – possibly forever. Because even though filming is done, everything has been thrown into turmoil after director Peter Travis has reportedly been ejected after disagreements with the producers over the quality of footage. Writer/producer Andrew Garland has taken over as editor, and could possibly ask permission for the unusual co-director credit on the film.

Although it is unlikely the entire film might be scrapped, there could at least be some reshoots. And such editing-room fighting does not often bode well for the reception of the movie…

I’m heading off in a few days to hang with the Syfy folks including some of the stars and executives, and will be asking questions – if you’ve got an interesting question you’d like answered, I can see if I can get it answered for you. Serious questions only! And no guarantees on answers. Send them to syfyquestions @ scifistorm.org .

Although things could change, I should be meeting with some of the talent of the following shows: Being Human, Sanctuary, Neverland, Warehouse 13/Eureka/Haven (mostly about their Holiday episodes), Lost Girl, Face Off and Monster Man, along with Josh Gates from Destination Truth. Also, if you have specific questions about Halloween Horror Nights 21 or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, I could potentially get answers on those as well. And don’t forget to follow @scifistorm on Twitter, where I will be tweeting from the event!

Want another contemporary fantasy drama? We’ve yet to see ABC’s Once Upon A Time or NBC’s Grimm, but now Fox wants in. The network has reportedly purchased a script commitment with penalty (they have to pay a penalty if they don’t go to series) to adapt Lev Grossman’s 2009 fantasy novel The Magicians. Something akin to Harry Potter with older protagonists, the novel tells the stories of some young adults that discover that the fantasy books they read as kids were not fiction, and find themselves attending a school of magic.

The scribe team of co-writers Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz (X-Men: First Class, Thor) will write the script, with Michael London (Milk), Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum, Real Steel) and Michael Adelstein (Desperate Housewives) producing. And a little tweety bird tells me that Wil Wheaton wants a role – well, it was a tweet from him: “And so begins my relentless campaign to secure a role in the TV version of Lev Grossman’s The Magicians…”
