I'm encouraged too. An additional reason to look forward to it is that Scifi often cuts their space shows off in part because they are idiots, but also because of the budgets. This sounds like they may be able to keep the budget down

Might be worth a look. Wonder will this focus on politics and such (building a new government, political struggles), or be focused on dealing with Nature and aliens, disease and such? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fonda Joins SCI FI's Revolution Peter Fonda has joined the cast of SCI FI Channel's upcoming two-hour pilot Revolution, about a planet colonized by humans, Mark Stern, executive vice president of original programming, told SCI FI Wire. Oscar nominee Fonda plays the patriarch grandfather of the Hart family, which has taken over "New America," a planet 50 light-years from Earth. The pilot also stars Billy Campbell, David Smith, Steve Sandvoss, Brooklyn Sudano and Rowena King. "Peter is going to be playing the role of Lawrence Fortis, who is the patriarch grandfather of the clan," Stern said at a press day in Pasadena, Calif., earlier this month. Revolution is created and written by Ed Redlich (Shark, Without a Trace) and John Bellucci (Jack and Bobby, Without a Trace), who will both serve as executive producers, along with executive producer Simon West (Lara Croft, Tomb Raider) and co-executive producer Jib Polhemus for Simon West Productions. The pilot is from CBS Paramount Network Television. New America is a colony settled by the "United State of America" on a planet resembling our own. The pilot centers on the Hart family, one of the founding families of New America. Fonda was nominated twice for an Academy Award and played Mephistopheles in Ghost Rider, Pipeline in Escape From L.A. and Chuck Browning in Futureworld. On TV, he was in Supernova and A Thief of Time. Fonda next appears in Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D this summer. --Mike Szymanski http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=53811 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
