Hi gang. Long time no post. I found a new passion and have sort of been out of the Electric loop for a while. My bad. <IMG SRC="http://www.electric-ent.com/bbs/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":&#40;"> <BR> <BR>But I came across the following article in Variety and my eyes bugged out when I saw Devlin and Singer&#39;s names mentioned in the same sentence. I&#39;m a little... okay, a lot... disappointed with Singer&#39;s Superman project, but this collaboration with Dean looks awesome!! Here&#39;s the article. &#40;Sorry if it&#39;s already been posted.&#41; <BR> <BR> <BR>Variety <BR>January 20, 2005 <BR> <BR>Sci Fi draws circle around &#39;Triangle&#39; <BR>Helmer, cast not yet set for December preem <BR>By DENISE MARTIN <BR> <BR> <BR>Sci Fi Channel has greenlit &#34;The Triangle,&#34; a long-gestating miniseries from exec producers Dean Devlin and Bryan Singer and scribe Rockne O&#39;Bannon. <BR> <BR>A December premiere date has been locked for the program, though no director or cast has been set. Story explores the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. <BR> <BR>Sci Fi execs pacted with Devlin and Singer to begin developing the project in May 2003, on the heels of ratings highs for Steven Spielberg&#39;s event series &#34;Taken.&#34; Devlin&#39;s Electric Entertainment will produce the project. <BR> <BR>O&#39;Bannon &#40;&#34;Farscape,&#34; &#34;SeaQuest DSV&#34;&#41; is polishing the draft, with &#34;The Triangle&#34; now planned as a six-hour, three-part event. Singer was mum on the plot&#39;s details, but described the piece as a contemporary tale involving scientists and investigators from different fields who come together to figure out the truth behind the Bermuda Triangle. <BR> <BR>&#34;Our story takes off at a point when there has been a gradual increase in phenomena surrounding the Triangle. As this group begins to unravel the mystery of the area, they&#39;ll encounter significant danger,&#34; Singer said. &#34;It&#39;s very eerie and interesting -- perfect for Sci Fi Channel.&#34; <BR> <BR>&#34;Triangle&#34; is one of several minis at Sci Fi, which is still developing projects with Hollywood heavyweights including Spielberg, Michael De Luca, Ridley Scott, Frank Darabont, Martin Scorsese and Gale Anne Hurd. <BR> <BR>Devlin produced the features &#34;Cellular,&#34; &#34;Independence Day&#34; and &#34;Godzilla,&#34; and co-wrote the 1994 &#34;Stargate&#34; feature. Singer will next direct &#34;Superman Returns.&#34; He exec produces the Fox hospital drama &#34;House&#34; and helmed both &#34;X-Men&#34; films. <BR> <BR>O&#39;Bannon&#39;s credits include writing the scripts for ABC&#39;s &#34;Peter Benchley&#39;s Creature&#34; and NBC&#39;s &#34;Robin Cook&#39;s Invasion.&#34; <BR> <BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.variety.com/story.asp?l=story&amp;a=VR1117916680&amp;c=1236" TARGET="_top">http://www.variety.com/story.asp?l=story&amp;a=VR1117916680&amp;c=1236</A>
