I am – Hercules!!


The SciFi Channel just announced its new slate of projects, which includes a miniseries series in development from Bryan Singer (“X-Men,” “Superman Returns,” “House”).

Other projects in development:

* "What If?” an hourlong about a new ice age triggered by a comet’s near-collision;

* "Soul Evidence," which follows the real Allison Dubois (whose life inspired NBC's “Medium”) as she solves crimes;

* "Danger Game," about a group organizing alternative reality experiences;

* "Relic Quest," about worldwide artifact searches; and

* "Escape," about three contestants trying to get out of a locked room.

Sci Fi has also greenlit three new series:

* "Outer Space Astronauts," a five-episode sitcom about a space crew from Russell Barrett, Scott Puckett and David O. Russell (“I Heart Huckabees”);

* "Cash or Capture," a six-episode reality competition about hunters chasing human prey; and

* "Estate of Panic," a six-episode reality competition about a mansion of terror from Endermol (“Big Brother,” “Fear Factor”).

Fans of "Frankenfish," "Skeleton Man" and "Mansquito," meanwhile, will be pleased to learn SciFi will offer 36 new TV-movies in 2009, up from 24 in 2008. (Which begs the question: Why did it take so long to greenlight the "Caprica" TV-movie?)
