Syfy has teamed up with X-Men director Bryan Singer and his Bad Hat Harry Prods. (House) for Creature At Bay, a drama series project, which will be developed as a 90-minute pilot script. It will be written by John Cabrera, co-creator of Warner Bros.’ award winning sci-fi digital series H+, also produced by Bryan Singer.
Many fans have recently taken up criticism against Bryan Singer, some of which because of "lost faith" due to his recent, Jack the Giant Slayer and disappointing Superman Returns. But it looks as though he has plenty of other people to help him out.
Creature At Bay is set in the wake of the US military taking down a giant, rampant creature — a modern-day “Kaiju” monster – just off the Northern California coast. A middle-management Undersecretary from the California Emergency Management Agency is charged with leading the clean-up efforts as the small town becomes the focus of the entire world.
Maybe it is just me, but I thought Pacific Rim did the whole Creature Feature thing justice and after that I am not really looking for anything else too similar. Either way, it seems the Studio sees something in it.
Universal Cable Prods. is producing, with Singer and Bad Hat’s Jason Taylor executive producing and John Cabrera co-executive producing.
