Sanctuary Sneak Preview Now Live

Stage 3 Media Inc., an independent production company based in Vancouver, has released a five-minute sneak preview of SANCTUARY, the new online sci-fi series starring Amanda Tapping (STARGATE: SG-1, STARGATE: ATLANTIS). Showcasing exclusive scenes featuring characters and creatures that inhabit the fascinating world of SANCTUARY, the sneak preview is now available at www.sanctuaryforall.com. The first of SANCTUARY'S eight 15-minute webisodes shot in HD and using an XSI pipeline will premiere May 14, 2007.

Created by veteran science fiction writer and producer Damian Kindler (STARGATE: SG-1, STARGATE: ATLANTIS), SANCTUARY also stars Robin Dunne (DAWSON'S CREEK, THE BIG HIT, SPECIES 3) and Emilie Ullerup (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). Kindler and Tapping serve as exec producers along with N. John Smith and director Martin Wood (STARGATE SG-1, STARGATE ATLANTIS). Computer-generated visual effects and production design are handled by Ron Martin (MARVEL NEMESIS and SOFT IMAGE) and Todd Van Hulzen (THE GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING).

Each webisode of SANCTUARY follows the exploits of Dr. Helen Magnus (Tapping) as she seeks out all manner of terrifying and monstrous creatures. She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman (Dunne) and her intrepid, if somewhat reckless, daughter Ashley (Ullerup). Together they are drawn into a frightening and mysterious world populated by beings that defy explanation. Fusing vfx, videogame technology and cutting edge Web design, SANCTUARY takes the viewer into a thrilling world where science meets the supernatural. This fictional online universe fills the void left by traditional network television by providing multiple HD resolutions, immersive interaction and direct communication between the viewer and the SANCTUARY creative team.
