SCI FI Channel Announces More Movies

SCI FI Channel and RHI Entertainment have entered into a network license agreement for a slate of U.S. premiere television movies.

The deal includes basic cable rights for five new horror and thriller projects. Two of the films have already wrapped production on location in Romania.

The first is Hellhounds, directed by Ricky Schroder, who starred in the Andromeda Strain movie on A&E. This one is set in 500 B.C. and stars Scott Elrod as a Greek warrior who fights against the demonic hellhounds of Hades in order to rescue his bride and bring her back to life. Sounds kind of God of War- like, I may check this one out.

Rise of the Gargoyle has also just completed production. It stars Eric Balfour as a struggling author in Paris who finds himself face to face with a horrific monster – a real live version of the stone gargoyles he’s devoted his life to studying.

Production on the following films, also to be shot on location in Romania, is set to begin shortly:

· Alien Western – Set in an old west town in the 1890’s, monstrous buglike machines from another world attack anyone who gets in their way;
· Carney – Based on the Jersey Devil legend, a fiendish carnival sideshow attraction, half-animal and half-devil, escapes and terrorizes the denizens of a Depression-era Mid-Atlantic town;
· Sand Serpents – American combat soldiers in the Afghan desert must battle both the Taliban and a horde of giant carnivorous wormlike serpents awakened from under the earth.
