SciFi Channel airdates for War Wolves and Sea Beast

February 4, 2009By

SciFi Channel has set airdates for War Wolves and Sea Beast. What the heck is Sea Beast, you ask? I have no clue, but it looks like another random SciFi Channel movie, one with little online buzz. Actually, ZERO online buzz, or even information. Unless it is the 1926 adaptation of Moby Dick starring John Barrymore! But I doubt it. Anyway, War Wolves airs Sunday, March 8 and Sea Beast airs Saturday, March 14. Maybe we’ll find out what the frak it is by then!

SciFi Channel also is premiering the Asylum classics Alien vs. Hunter and I am Omega, as well as the family-friendly Spring Break Shark Attack. February and March will be filled with disappointment.

TROGLODYTE – Upcoming SciFi Channel film

January 13, 2009By

There are a few tidbits of info on the upcoming SciFi Channel film Troglodyte in this article on Fangoria

“Oh, yeah, they like the gore at Sci Fi Channel,” he tells Fango, “which is surprising. Working on other shows, they’ll be like, ‘Less guts, less gore,’ but on these it’s, ‘OK, half-eaten bodies everywhere!’ ”

…..

TROGLODYTE, “which is a complete gorefest,” Nicholson laughs. “It’s about a water-born creature that hatches from almost like a frog egg, and people start dying in this town by the lake. People get eaten by the big trog, and then there are these baby ones as well. It’s very similar to LOCH NESS TERROR, in the sense that Nessie had these babies that wreaked havoc too. The baby trogs have these long tongues, so we were wrapping them around people’s necks and using hand puppets and doing all this gruesome stuff. That’s the great thing about Paul as a director; we’ll be in meetings, and people will say ‘CGI,’ and he’ll be like, ‘No, no, I want puppets’; he likes having them in action with the actors, and we can also work with the CGI in conjunction with that.”

Sounds like Humanoids from the Deep on steroids! Let’s hope it lives up to the hype.

SciFi Channel has a whole pack of films coming out in 2009, we have had some info on a few of them, here is some more details on War Wolves, which looks like it is done with post.

Digital Jungle Completes DI on War Wolves

December 9, 2008

Source: Digital Jungle

Digital Jungle, one of Hollywood¹s premier post production/digital workflow studios, recently completed an HD 1080P 23.98 project for War Wolves, a Sci-Fi channel 09 film. Acting as the film¹s post-production supervisor, Digital Jungle helped manage the offline, executed the online assembly, provided color correction, visual effects for hands to claws, in addition to the growing and morphing of fangs/ mouth, and all other various deliverables.

Picked up by the Sci-Fi channel for an early 09 airdate, War Wolves is led by John Saxton who plays Jack Ford. Jack leads a special-forces unit back to the United States to hunt down a soldier who has been infected with the
werewolf virus that turns man into wolf. Little does Jack know that three of the female soldiers serving in his unit have also been infected and have already transformed into she-wolves. The she-wolves forces of evil and Fords special op forces of good are pitted against each other in the race to save mankind from turning into wolves.

Digital Jungle President Dennis Ho remarked, “We are ecstatic to have delivered for such an interesting project for the Sci-Fi Channel. This movie will get a very positive response and we are delighted to have been attached.”

Planet Raptor: Raptor Island 2 (Review)

December 15, 2008By

Planet Raptor: Raptor Island 2

aka Raptor Island 2

2008
Directed by Gary Jones
Written by Steve Latshaw

Remember that SciFi Channel movie Raptor Island and how it was one of the worst SciFi Channel movies ever, the raptors just stood there and got shoot, and the whole thing was a complete mess? Well, it got a sequel! Don’t you feel your harsh criticisms of the original are now unjustified? Of course not, there is no reason for this sequel to exist. And yet it does. And it is set in space.

Yes, OUTER SPACE!

Well, Critters, Friday the 13th, and Leprechaun did it, so why not Raptor Island? That also gives you the excuse to rip off Aliens wholesale with the excuse it is in the future, thus it is a homage or something. So IN THE FUTURE Raptor will still be eating people, because that is what they do. And SciFi Channel will be airing Shark Attack 46: Megalodon in Space.

Director Gary Jones worked with Sam Raimi on two of the Evil Dead films, and has since become a genre director of his own right. Writer Steve Latshaw has been around for years, previously encounter here in The Curse of the Komodo. Neither of them have much to work with due to the limited budget, and are forced to resort to stock footage and abandoned towns. The film reeks of a small budget, it even has problems with the American flags on the uniforms. Sometimes the American flag has forty stars, and sometimes only 35! It looks like in the future America lost a few states, or they are in a state of quantum flux, probably due to more raptors. Schrödinger’s states.

Captain Mace Carter (Steven Bauer) – tough talking captain of a squad of marines sent to investigate a mysterious SOS on a planet. Steven Bauer played the evil foreign terrorist Azir in the previous film, who died, so this must be his great-great grandson who is now an American. Cultural assimilation for raptor destruction, in space. You have to admire a character named for Mace Windu and John Carter of Mars.
Dr. Anna Rogers (Vanessa Angel) – Her parents were killed in a war, so she became a scientist as well. Makes sense. Probably a distant descendant of the offspring of Mike and Linda Olsen from Raging Sharks, because I believe all SciFi Channel films take place in the same universe. A very terrifying universe.
Sgt. Jacqueline ‘Jack’ Moore (Musetta Vander) – The tough woman marine character you need in all Aliens ripoffs. You know she’s tough because she has a boy’s name. Musetta Vander was in such great films as Mansquito, Wild Wild West, and Mortal Kombat 2.
Dr. Tygon (Ted Raimi) – The leader of the creepy government scientists. You know he is evil because he is named after a hybrid animal, but the opposite of the one bred for their skills in magic. Ted Raimi is Sam Raimi’s brother and is in all of his films, but sometimes you got to pay for that new house, so here we are.
Sgt. Pappy Mathis (Peter Jason) – The old man marine who is tough and old and cool. He’s the most likeable character, so you might as well paint a target on his back. He gets raptor chomped, and then goes all suicide bomber on those space dinos. Peter Jason was also in the original Raptor Island, and used the accolades he got from these two movies to get a role in Transformers 2. He is also seen here in They Live.
Jose (???) – A bald trooper with one eyebrow and lots of old food. I don’t know who played him because the credits didn’t bother to tell anyone. Bad credits!
Alien Dude (Puppet) – He is an alien who looks like a mantis, and his race had the brilliant plan to use raptors as slaves and pets. This was after they had the idea to build and orphanage on a volcano and crash a meteor into their capital building to kill some termites. Not the brightest thinkers, and now all dead. Take that, space bugs!
Puppet Raptors (Puppet) – The Space Raptors come in two breeds – Puppet and CGI. Guess which one doesn’t look terrible? All the shots of the Puppet Raptor are pretty scary, but then he jumps out as a CGI mess and you wonder what they were thinking. Next time, go 100% puppet raptor with a marionette. It will still look better than…
CGI Raptors (CGI) – CGI Raptors look pretty terrible. Half of the time they are purple, but at least they aren’t as brain dead as the previous movie’s raptors, who stood still while being shot and just dropped dead. Now they drop dead whil walking forward. That is how Space Raptors are so spacey. Maybe if you are coked out of your brain to the point where you think you are in space, these effects will look good. Give me the Puppet Raptors!!
Commander Bakewell (Serban Celea) – Captain of the ship USS Santee, he spends most of the film hanging with Science Chief Romanov (Bart Sidles) trying to get in contact with the ground team, only to try to kill them when he does. Makes sense. As expected, Commander Bakewell makes the best brownies ever, but is a mortal enemy of Poppin Fresh!.
