Television, Video Game In 'Sanctuary' Future?

Television, Video Game In 'Sanctuary' Future?

The series "Sanctuary" may have gotten its start on the Web, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to stay there.

The people behind the Web series, which can be found at Sanctuary For All, say that while their goal was to bring this show to computers everywhere, it doesn't have to stay there.

"You have to think of an idea that works seamlessly across multiple formats," Damian Kindler, the Stargate producer who is the creator of "Sanctuary" and chief executive of Stage 3 Media which produces the series, told SyFy Portal's Marx Pyle. You want "something you can push to mobile phones, to your iPod, to television, to DVD, [and something that] is a good interactive online experience and is a great standalone game. We create one type of entertainment -- different forms of it -- but this is the sort of format. We want to be the pioneers, the innovators, the perfectionists. That is it. That is our goal. That's the plan." [more]

Until next time... Marx out.

EXCLUSIVE: A Trip Inside The 'Sanctuary'

Hello everyone!

Here is part I of my interview with Damian Kindler.

A Trip Inside The 'Sanctuary'

The Internet has had a growing influence on how fans get their entertainment. From online games to downloads onto iPods, the way people are watching shows and movies is changing.

More and more, science-fiction shows have been experimenting with new ways to get to their audiences. "Babylon 5" just released a new straight-to-DVD movie that may lead to an all-new anthology series for the series released only on DVD. And even SciFi Channel recently announced that they are making new episodes of "Farscape" as Webisodes.

But this is a new frontier and pioneers are needed to explore it. Stage 3 Media is one such pioneer that has gone further than anyone else to date with their Web series "Sanctuary."

Damian Kindler is known for his work in the Stargate franchise, but he's also the chief executive officer of Stage 3 Media and the creator of "Sanctuary," which he developed almost on a dare by his agent. [more]

Until next time... Marx out.
