Syfy Channel has announced the air date for Ferocious Planet, a new Saturday night original movie starring Stargate Atlantis‘s Joe Flanigan (John Sheppard)! (The film originally carried the working title The Other Side.)
The movie will air on Syfy on Saturday, April 9 at 9 p.m. (E/P).
Flanigan stars as Colonel Sam Synn, alongside John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings, Sliders) as Senator Jackson Crenshaw, and Dagmar Döring as Doctor Jillian O’Hara.
Here’s how the studio describes the film’s story:
It was a groundbreaking device designed to glimpse alternate universes and government commissioned by a brilliant physicist. But the machine malfunctioned on its first presentation, transporting a group of observers into a nightmarish new dimension. The team quickly must use ingenuity and courage to outwit, outplay and outlast the native man-eating creatures of this bizarre new world while doing their best to repair the damaged machine. Even if they stay alive, without a working transport, they may never make it back home.
The production studio has already released a full-length (01:43) trailer for the film:

I CANNOT wait!! This is the best Stargate related(even peripherally) news I've heard in years!
And that "Don't poke the alien" line is classic. :P
"Don't poke the alien."
That is so funny!
Wow great stuff, in true spirit of Stargate adventures. Aliens looks even more dangerous then Goa’uld system Lords! Something to look forward too.
Looks bad, just like all the other Syfy movies.
Hah, looks like Sliders They even have John Rhys-Davies there! *g*
Oh Sci-fi. You think you're good at making movies.
It's funny, because you're not.
Sheppard's got this -- he's done the whole 'help I'm stuck in another dimension' thing before.
Oh wait. He was with McKay then.
i will give it a chance just because it is Shepard
Guys, I watched FOX's "Change of Plans" because Joe Flanigan was in it, so, (hmmm, should I have said that?) I think I'll be watching this. I will try to watch it without tuning in to SciFy.
Doesn't look all that bad, especially for a syfy movie.
How ironic that John Rhys Davies is in there. Traveling through paralel universes once again for old time's sake eh?
Joe flanigans presence in it seems to miraculously increase it's quality :) Almost as though there's a famous actor in it ( aside from John Rhys-Davies short part ), because we know Joe so well.
