Syfy has two shows premiering on Friday and I’ll be watching both. One, Helix, is entering it’s sophomore season and is all about the CDC fighting the good and creepy fight on island inhabited by a cult. (That was the lazy synopsis, for a better one, click here)
The other show is 12 Monkeys and Syfy has released a scene (posted above) for us to enjoy before the premiere this Friday.
For any of you 12 Monkeys newbies, here’s some previously published info on the show:
12 Monkeys is a time-traveling, post apocalyptic thriller based on the acclaimed 1995 film of the same name from the mastermind of mind-bendiness, Terry Gilliam. The movie is a good one, a great one even. Ahead of it’s time (oh, I swear I didn’t mean that pun. I’m not that clever).
Gilliam’s 12 Monkeys did well back in the 90s. There was nothing like it. I’m curious how it would do today where we live in a world of dystopian-driven books, films and images. I, myself, am a huge sucker (and a spender) for all things dystopian. I don’t think my brain, positive life outlook and inner strength appreciate that addiction but a lot of studios and writers do.
Here’s hoping we have a good show on our hands:
Based on the 1995 film directed by Terry Gilliam, “12 Monkeys” follows the journey of a time traveler from the post-apocalyptic future who is on a mission to eradicate the source of a deadly plague. The series stars Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Noah Bean, and Kirk Acevedo. Additional cast members include Tom Noonan as the enigmatic face of the Army of the 12 Monkeys, and Emily Hampshire as Jennifer Goines, a dangerous and unstable mental patient.
