| Finding The Angles In Triangle Rockne O'Bannon, co-creator and executive producer of SCI FI Channel's upcoming original miniseries The Triangle, told SCI FI Wire that there's no way to provide a short synopsis. O'Bannon, who also created Farscape, wrote The Triangle and co-executive-produced the six-hour, three-night extravaganza with Bryan Singer (X-Men) and Dean Devlin (Independence Day). "I don't think there's a TV Guide logline for this," O'Bannon said with a laugh in an interview. "A group of experts [Catherine Bell, Bruce Davison, Michael Rodgers and Eric Stoltz] with very disparate disciplines, but all experts in their fields, come together at the behest of a shipping company run by Sam Neill to try to find the answer to what everyone assumes is the impossible, which is the definitive answer for what's caused the century-after-century disappearances of ships and planes [in the Bermuda Triangle]." O'Bannon added: "The script comes at it exactly like I came to the project and like I think a lot our audience will come to the miniseries, which is with a real jaundiced eye. How can this group come up with a definitive answer when other people have been looking at this for so many years? What's fun is this group is really smart, but also really cynical. That's night one. And by night two, they're really turned around. They're saying, 'Wait, there is something going on here. There is something to explore, and there is an answer to be found.' And we've got the perfect group together to come together to do this." O'Bannon added with another laugh: "That's a long logline. I should try to distill it down. Essentially, it's a group of experts [who] come together to try to answer the mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle, and they do so. That sounds kind of trite, but this isn't your '70s Michael Crichton-style sci-fi. I'd like to hope it's quite a bit more than that." The Triangle debuts in December. |
