During this 2010-11 season, the Syfy Channel, which as you know is one of television’s most prolific producers of “original” films, is in the middle of delivering what they refer to as as “talent-rich Original Movies lineup.” They do seem to be pulling in bigger, or more popular names from the industry for their Saturday Original Movies. In fact every time I see someone I know, I sometimes find myself wondering how they (Syfy) managed to pull them into the movie.
On such film that Syfy Channel aired was the 2007 movie, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, had a cast the made my jaw drop, for a Syfy movie that is. It starred Jason Statham, Leelee Sobieski, John Rhys-Davies, Ron Perlman, Claire Forlani, Kristanna Loken, Matthew Lillard, Brian White, Tania Saulnier, Ray Liotta, & Burt Reynolds amongst others. And though the story (premise) itself had hope, the filming and editing left an end result that scarred me for life and I sat there wondering how this could have been with some of these cast members?
Because it’s all in good fun?
