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.
