Syfy Picks Up Ex-ABC
Brainpower Pilot ALPHAS!!
I am – Hercules!!
After finding itself derailed by the writers strike, ABC’s action-adventure pilot “Section 8” has been reborn at Syfy as “Alphas.”
The 90-minute pilot penned by Zack Penn (“X-Men: The Last Stand”) and Michael Karnow “follows a team of ordinary citizens who possess hyperdeveloped neurological abilities,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The ABC version featured a hot girl who could bend people to her will, a “Rain Man”-type autistic savant, an ex-FBI agent who could use adrenaline to give himself super-strength, and a woman who could destroy stuff with her voice.
Find all of the Reporter’s story on the matter here.
