SciFi Show "Echoes" Being Pitched from Stargate Universe VFX Supervisor

Mark Savela, the visual effects supervisor of the late Stargate Universe, has come up with a concept for a sci-fi series called Echoes, starring SGU's Jennifer Spence, which he's shot a teaser for and is currently pitching.

Echoes postulates a future in which two warring alien species have waged their battle on Earth (considered a neutral zone of sorts) and now humanity is trying to move on after the devastating battle is over.

"I'm interested in seeing the journey that someone goes on to become a Sarah Connor or a Ripley," Savela explained. "You want a character that an audience can identify with and root for, a little bit like an underdog and someone who the viewers can throw their support behind.

"We've ... been working hard behind the scenes, pitching and trying to sell the show," Savela added. "The concept and its players have been well-received out in the market, and we hope to have more announcements very soon."

::Gasps:: You mean the Sci-Fi (SyFy) channel is actually thinking about funding...........a Sci-Fi show?!?!?!?!

And here I was thinking Sci-Fi was short for "wrestling"......hmph.

No matter, I'm sure they'll cancel it just as soon as it starts to get good...
