Sanctuary Gets Caught in the Bermuda Triangle
Dec 4, 2008 04:47 PM ET by Erin Fox
Sci Fi's newest hit, Sanctuary — which was just picked up for a second season — is headed to a dangerous place: The Bermuda Triangle. In an intense and dramatic episode that airs on Friday (10 pm/ET), Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) and her colleague Dr. Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne) get trapped in a submarine while investigating a deadly parasite attack on creatures living in the triangle. TVGuide.com spoke with Tapping, who is also executive producer, about the genesis of the episode, what it was like to film with Dunne 24/7, and what's next for the Sanctuary crew this season.
A brief excerpt:
... TVGuide.com: Let's talk about "Requiem." Who came up with the idea to have you and Robin in a submarine for an entire episode?
Tapping: Damian [Kindler, the creator and exec producer], so we blame him mostly (laughs). Damian wrote the plane crash episode "Kush" and we had these practical sets that we built and used, and they were quite expensive sets to build. The crew hated shooting in it; it was such a nightmare shooting in such a small room with blowing snow. So, the joke was, we should repurpose this and save money because we're dealing with such a finite budget. And Damian says, "A Marine Show!" And so "Requiem" was born — and also to give our visual effects team a break as well.
