I havent seen any promotion for this....anywhere. I'll still watch, but syfy need to take some lessons from HBO in promoting their stuff.

Syfy would not know how to promote it way of a card board box.

That poster makes Red Faction seem like some kind of gay night club.

I am not a fan of the Red Faction games, but I am REALLY looking forward to this. The cast is fantastic, and the production team (i.e. writer of Fringe, director of Battlestar Galactica and Caprica) seem to be able to handle it. I also like how it is set in the actual Red Faction timeline, but in the one hundred years of so between Guerrilla and Armageddon; they have a lot of creative freedom.

I asked Brian J. Smith on Twitter if it would have the same character driven approach as BSG and SGU, and he said that it would, but there would be some great action sequences as well. I am really glad that they are taking the character route and adding some thematic depth to it (family, redemptipon etc. with a lot of American Revolution and communist parallels). I think that it'll be cool to see Smith play a more badass character, and from that production still, the production values look brilliant (Smith's costume is awesome).

This interview with Smith is really interesting and gives a great insight into his role, the other casts, why the film won't suck and what it was like filming in Bulgaria.

I hope that it is good, and then I hope that it gets a season pick-up. Could be a great new sci-fi show

your link is broken, i think you pasted the wrong thing. (edit: it is now fixed in orig' post and quote)

That doesn't look like Mars.

That doesn't look like Mars.

Because, of course, you've been to Mars. It's Bulgaria; where else are they going to film that looks remotely like Mars? And I think it looks a lot like the Mars in Red Faction: Guerilla.

I am really excited after those promo pictures, it looks really good.

One of Mars' defining features is that it's red and that's what Mars looked like in Red Faction: Guerrilla.

There are quite a few places on earth that look like Mars. Places with high concentrations of iron oxide will have that reddish hue. The Atacama Desert is an example. Some parts of Valley of Fire also look kind of like Mars.

So this is a SyFy original movie or a pilot? Because this is sure looking alot better than the "Original movies" SyFy milks out.

Mix of both I think. If it works out well, they'll make it a series.
