Sanctuary Bridges Real, Fantasy
Damian Kindler, creator and executive producer of SCI FI Channel's upcoming supernatural series Sanctuary, told SCI FI Wire that he strove to make something that bridged the real and fantastical, with a graphic-novel style that hasn't been seen before.
"I felt there was definitely room for something that bridged the gap between very real ... drama shows on the edge, like The X-Files--which took drama to a new place and said, 'Oh, we can make dramas compelling and character-based, but with a very strange tone to them'--and ... the all-out fantasy stuff, like Heroes," Kindler said in an interview at the Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly
Hills, Calif., over the weekend.
Kindler, a former writer on Stargate SG-1, added: "I feel like Sanctuary has the ability to be like a really cool graphic novel you've never seen yet. ... It's got [a] graphic-novel feel and look and tone and attitude and visuals, but you've never seen it before. It's not like, 'Oh, they did a crap job at adapting it.' It's not
adapted from anything."
...Sanctuary, which is also executive-produced by [Amanda] Tapping, Martin Wood and Sam Egan, is shooting 13 episodes; it debuts on SCI FI in the fall.
