Sanctuary
Production meeting today for a new season 4 episode. It will be a maze of brain teasers! And who better to mess with your mind than Tesla! Oh yeah... he's back alright.
Peter Wingfield Answered same fan Q's while he was shooting Sanctuary (S04). You can see what he will look in the ep here :http://www.pwfc.org/askPeter.shtml
THR: What’s coming up during Season 4 of Sanctuary?
Tapping: We painted ourselves in an impossible-to-get-out-of corner at the end of Season 3 and we start in a time and place that is very special to my character [Dr. Helen Magnus], but is rich with history and stories. I directed the second episode and Robin Dunne directed the sixth episode. We do an episode on a tropical island. We do an episode on an ice breaker on the Behring Sea. The Victorian era episode, it was raining inside the studio. You’ll see a great directing turn from Robin Dunne.
THR: Who can viewers expect to see in the upcoming season?
Tapping: The guest stars that the fans have really loved and embraced are all back this year. Carlo Rotta is in an episode called “Monsoon†and he’s laugh out loud funny. Brian Markinson, who has been in everything from Woody Allen films to Angels in America, he did our third episode and we’re having him come back because we loved him so much.
Just checking in on this page, been very busy shooting Sanctuary for the last couple of months. Some very exciting and huge fun stuff for the show, and for Declan this year. Looking forward to seeing it hit the screens in season 4.
Article in today`s Globe & Mail about the musical episode:
The feisty, brilliant Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) can run a sanctuary for abnormals like no other 160-year-old around. But can she sing. Fans of Sanctuary will find out this fall, when the Canadian science fiction series joins the ranks of Grey`s Anatomy, Scrubs and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and airs a musical episode.
Announced at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday, the episode will explore the power of music as it relates to the brain.
``The basis of the story is the idea that there are certain harmonic frequencies that people respond to better than others``said Tapping, who is one of the show`s executive producers, told The Globe and Mail. ``And it gives them heightened abilities.``
In the episode, called Fugue, Abby Corrigan (Pascale Hutton, a trained singer) becomes possessed. Music holds the key to her rescue.
Series creator Damian Kindler, also an executve producer, was the driving force behind the episode. He co-wrote the music with Toronto-based composer Andrew Lockington, as well as the script, and also directs the episode.
When he pitched it to the networks - Space in Canada and Syfy in the U.S.- as a ``scary Exorcist dark rock opera,``Kindler figured they would likely turn him down. ``But they did the exact opposite`` he says. ``They bit down like a starving child on it.``
The show was taped earlier this summer at the show`s Burnaby, B.C. studios. ``In the very first take, it was very nerve-wracking,`` says Tapping. ``But after that, we just got into it.``
The musical episode will air during Sanctuary`s fourth season this November on Space in Canada.
