What's it actully about though? I didn't see the web series.
How would you set the show up for someone who is coming in blind to it, who hasn't seen the webisodes? What would you say is Sanctuary's tone?
Tapping: Wow. You know, we've been asking ourselves that same question. I keep going to [executive producer] Damian [Kindler] and saying, "What's the logline for our show? Come on, come on." How would I describe it? It's centered around my character, Helen Magnus, who is a 157-year-old doctor from Victorian England who runs a sanctuary for all manner of abnormal creatures. She pulls into the fray a young forensic psychiatrist named Will Zimmerman [Robin Dunne], who has always sort of thought outside of the box and has therefore been shunned by regular law-enforcement agencies, but in fact now realizes that the things that he's tried to investigate are real.
So you're kind of seeing a lot of the Sanctuary and a lot of the creatures and a lot of the mythologies through his eyes as sort of the everyman. But the show has a very graphic-novel feel to it. We're shooting almost photo-real. Half the time you're not sure if what you're looking at really exists or whether it's a visual effect, and sometimes it's very obvious that it's a visual effect, and we're shooting with a real graphic style. So it's got a real edgy look to it. So that's [the] tone, a bit of the plot. I have this really kick-ass daughter, Ashley [Emilie Ullerup], who is a weapons expert and a martial artist. And, you know, she's kind of the cool factor. And we draw from characters in history and from this incredible mythology of my backstory.
Mitch Pileggi said in an interview that he's still playing taxi between Earth and Atlantis in/after EatG, so the Daedalus will survive, and so will Caldwell.
