Back in June we told you about an ambitious little venture that Syfy and IGN.com were embarking on which allowed you, the fans of the network’s awesomely atrocious B-movies, decide on what their next original feature would be about…
After more than 20,000 votes for three possible
choices, fans have selected a “Roswell” story line for Syfy and IGN.com’s B Movie
Mogul – the online development and production site that lets fans weigh in on an
upcoming Syfy Saturday Original Movie.
The winning concept will be: Another spaceship crash lands in Roswell, New Mexico,
and a dangerous alien creature escapes. Authorities soon realize there is something
under the earth in Roswell that has been attracting spacecraft since 1947, and maybe
even before. Now they have to uncover that secret while they hunt and kill the creature.
Jason Connery, who knows from aliens already as he’s just completed directing 51 – about Area 51, natch – will helm the Roswell flick. After Dark Films will produce.
But the fan participation doesn’t end there; folks will get to choose specific story points for the film as well. Head on over to http://www.ign.com/syfy/ to vote on categories such as “How does the first character who dies meet his or her grisly demise?” and “Before our Comic Relief character becomes a reluctant battler of aliens, what is his or her day job?”
This is pretty cool, folks, so get in on the action!
