QUOTE Sci Fi has cast its leads for Riverworld and The Phantom -- the network’s upcoming original movie events that will serve as trials for potential new series. Battlestar Galatica veteran Tahmoh Penikett and Smallville's supergirl Laura Vandervoort will star in Riverworld, while Ryan Carnes (”Desperate Housewives”) has been cast as The Phantom. Penikett is best known for playing Helo on Battlestar. In Riverworld he'll play war correspondent Matt Ellman, who is killed along with his fiance played by Vandervoort and then awake into a mysterious world populated by everybody who has ever lived on Earth. Alan Cumming (Tin Man) guest stars as “The Caretaker.” On The Phantom, Carnes will play the newest incarnation of the comic book hero, with Isabella Rossellini guest starring as the villainous Lithia, the head of mind control experiment. Also cast in Riverworld are Jeananne Goossen and Mark Deklin, with Cameron Goodman and Sandrine Holt added to the Phantom cast. Both projects are from RHI Entertainment and started production Monday. Riverworld and The Phantom will air as four-hour movies on Sci Fi sometime next year. A third RHI project for the network, Alice, will air this year. --------------------  "Science is one cold hearted bitch with a 14 inch strap-on." |

Sounds like they're playing fast and loose with the plot of Riverworld, already.

How do you figure, Ray?
All I remember was the being re-born part. It has been a looooong time since I read it. I did just re-establish my audible.com account... maybe I'll give it a listen. -------------------- You can't stop the signal, Mal

I did just re-establish my audible.com account... maybe I'll give it a listen. The protagonist in the books (and a clever and entertaining choice) was Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain. People who died together didn't also wake up together (or if it happened, it was so rare an event that it was never remarked upon). And if they died together on Riverworld, they certainly didn't tag along together, either. On the other hand, you'll probably see ol' Tamoh shirtless a lot, since resurrection is done naked. =^[.]^= -------------------- The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others.
