CC 2008: Interview with Sanctuary's Amanda Tapping and Robin Dunne

SciFithe_matt writes "Amanda Tapping (Stargate's Samantha Carter) returns to SCIFI Channel this fall with a new original series Sanctuary. The show was originally conceived as an internet series but now has made the jump to television.

This year at Comic-Con we had the chance to once again speak with Amanda Tapping as well as her co-star Robin Dunne about the new project.

...CO: Is there an over-arcing story for this first season or is a series of stand alone episodes?
AT: There is a story throughout the season but I can't tell you too much about it right now...I have to be cloak and dagger about it. There is a 13 episode arc. We bring in Helen's back story and explain a lot about who she is and how she is. Things are just fleshed out. We also really get to explain the Sanctuary and why it exists.



This year at Comic-Con we also had the chance to speak with Amanda Tapping's co-star Robin Dunne about the new project.

...CO: Previously the series started out online. Have you incorporated those episodes into this new show or will this be totally separate from the online work?
RD: There are similarities but the show has been totally revamped. We are getting into the characters more and we are making a show that is set in this fantastical world with such spectacle, but at the same time we have these characters and stories that are really compelling. We hope that the characters are easy to relate to even though they are set against this crazy background. I think that this show is that wonderful combination of glitz and eye candy mixed with really compelling storytelling. For an actor its really just amazing...
