Sanctuary - AUSTRALIA - Premieres May 28 on SciFi Channel Australia

At SciFi.com.au:



Amanda Tapping leads her own show - with an English Accent!

The highly anticipated new show comes to SCI FI [Australia] on May 28. Did you see it when it was the world's most expensive internet-exclusive series? Now it's a fully fledged TV series, starring Stargate's ever popular Amanda Tapping as the mysterious Dr Helen Magnus. She's both the hunter and protector of the world's weirdest beasties whom she houses in The Sanctuary. What do you think of Amanda with an English Accent? And the huge amount of Green Screen used? Will it be better than Buffy and Angel? Will Stargate fans accept Amanda as a brunette? The important questions must be answered - by you!

FX International Coverage: Women of the Whedonverse Panel (audio ONLY)

(From the FX International convention held April 17-19 '09 in Orlando, Fl)

As promised on last night’s episode of PTG, here’s the audio recording of the “Women of the Whedonverse” Panel that took place on Day 2 of the FX International Show. Hosted by “Word Balloon” podcast host John Suintres, the panel featured actors Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Stargate SG-1), Jewel Staite (Firefly, Stargate Atlantis), Julie Benz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Juliet Landau (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), and Clare Kramer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). The ladies of the Whedonverse address the questions of the standing-room only event, in addition to talking about their own current projects and expressing their annoyance with the frequent interruptions of the Exhibition Hall PA Announcer.

Though the panel itself ran for an hour, only 45 minutes of the panel consisted of the Q & A session–the last 15 minutes consisted of a video tribute to the late Andy Hallett, who starred on “Angel” and passed away of a heart attack on March 29th, 2009. Check back here at Prime Time Geek in the coming days for our video coverage of the panel, which will include the video tribute.
