See Colonel Samantha Carter Get All Brunetty And Britishy!! STARGATE SG-1 Alumni Take You To SANCTUARY!!
Merrick again…
…with a glimpse at an interesting new project that’s coming down the pipeline...right away.
On May 14, a series of 15 minute webisodes will debut.
Some Geek-friendly kinda folks are involved. Among them are Martin Wood (a director on both STARGATE series), Damian Kindler (a writer for both STARGATEs, EARTH: FINAL CONFLICT, and more), and Cinematographer James Alfred Menard (with SG-1 for much of its run).
According to a press release, here’s what it’s all about:
Each webisode of Sanctuary follows the exploits of Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) as she seeks out all manner of terrifying and monstrous creatures.
She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne, Dawson’s Creek, The Big Hit,
Species 3) and her intrepid, if somewhat reckless, daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup , Battlestar Galactica).
Together they are drawn into a frightening and mysterious world populated by beings that defy explanation. Fusing stunning visual effects, video game technology and cutting edge Web design, Sanctuary takes the viewer into a thrilling world where science meets the supernatural.
This fictional online universe fills the void left by traditional network television by providing multiple High Definition resolutions, immersive interaction and direct communication between the viewer and the Sanctuary
creative team.
Five minutes of preview footage has been posted.
It features Amanda Tapping (as hard as I try, I just can’t shake my crush on her) with dark hair (thus intensifying my Amanda Tapping crush – I’m totally a brunette kinda guy) and struggling with a British accent.
While I'm not 100% blown away by this footage, there are a few nice/cool moments (definitely enough to make me curious about watching some full-length episodes), and I find the overall concept/potential of webisode storytelling most intriguing.
And, yes, I’ve worked for a while trying to come up with a LOGAN’S RUN “Sanctuary” joke...but couldn’t.
