Warehouse 13 is back on the books?

[catalyst2]

From SyFy Portal, it looks like Warehouse 13 is ready to start - this was the project that Jane Espenson was working on, wasn't it? Do her BSG duties now prevent her from being involved? Any way, behind the cut is a description of the series' premise.


"Rockne O'Bannon of "Farscape" fame is producing "Warehouse 13" for the SciFi Channel. Again, let me just quote the press release.

After saving the life of the president, two FBI agents find themselves abruptly "promoted" and relocated to windswept South Dakota. Their new top-secret location is Warehouse 13 a massive, secret storage facility that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government over the centuries. In addition to searching the country for several missing objects discovered stolen from the Warehouse, their job is to monitor for new reports of supernatural and paranormal activity that could indicate the presence of another object they must investigate and safely bring back to the vaults of Warehouse 13."

The way I read it, Jane only co-wrote the pilot, but wasn't slated to write for the show. She can't write for another show while she's on BSG unless the network makes other arrangements.

I wonder if, without the writers' strike, whether her duties on BSG would have been over and she would have moved across?

[electrcspacegrl.livejournal.com]

It doesn't work that way. When the strike was over, she went to where she was going to be anyway even if there had been no strike. When this new show was first announced, she wasn't attached to the production then. She was still going to be on BSG until the end of that. Now, when BSG is over, she might end up on W-13, or something else entirely.

I just realized that this show is Torchwood meets The X-Files. Very interesting. Can we get David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson to star in it? ;)

Now that would have been an interesting thing to see - but I would like have to seen them cast in utterly opposite roles to their X-Files characters (for example, Duchovny as a drunken, drugged-up burnout who doesn't give a shit any more).

Californication!

Revolution sounds pretty interesting, if it's written well. Or it could be as abysmal as Flash Gordon.

I'd forgotten about Californication - oh well, maybe he could be an uptight, by-the-numbers, career guy!
