THQ has inked a deal that will allow the Syfy channel to produce a two-hour, direct-to-television movie based on Red Faction. And if things go really well for Red Faction’s live-action debut, then it could lead to a full television series.
Syfy Ventures senior VP Alan Seiffert explained the agreement to Broadcasting & Cable (via VG247). “It is the kind of content that fits our genre,” said Seiffert, “It is a great fit for a big Syfy Saturday movie, and if it really works, it is a great back-door pilot.”
