More new SFF TV series
06/04/2004 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Upcoming science fiction and fantasy series include Witchhunter Robin, Amazing Screw-On Head, and Eureka - a U.S. community of geniuses. Yet more offerings from the SCI-FI Channel, with highlights including a new project from the creator of Hellboy, and as yet unnamed new series from executive producer Joel Schumacher and writer April Smith.
- TBA
This is the currently unnamed Joel Schumacher/April Smith project, described as Sex and the City meets V in an urban drama.
An elite team of soldier/scientists from another planet is studying humans, preparing for an eventual invasion. Each must experience a different aspect of the human experience - and many are seduced by the unfamiliar tastes and feelings of this new world.
When a sexy alien female falls in love with a human male, a deadly tale of love, lust, and world domination unfolds. Joel Schumacher (Batman) and three-time Emmy nominee April Smith (Chicago Hope) will co-executive produce. Schumacher will direct and Smith will write.
- Witchhunter Robin
A live action adaptation of the popular Japanese anime series, Witchhunter Robin is a gritty tale of action and horror. A small, specialized team of cops set out to capture rogue "witches" who are abusing their powers. Robin is the newest member of the team - but she is also a witch. A combination that makes her a great cop - and a danger to everyone around her.
Joe Menosky (Anonymous Rex) is on board as writer and executive producer of this clever and edgy series; Roy Lee (The Ring) and Doug Davison will also executive produce.
- Eureka
A newly hired sheriff reports for duty in the small, bucolic Pacific North-west town of Eureka and soon discovers that things are not what they seem. For years, the government has been relocating the world's geniuses (and their families) to Eureka, creating the ultimate think tank community.
At times strange, amazing, and bizarre, the community's quirky inhabitants unleash scientific and technological creations still unknown by the outside world. Produced by USACE, Andy Cosby and Jamie Paglia will write.
- Motel Man
Joe Miller is a police detective who discovers a collection of seemingly mundane objects that have strange powers. Just for starters, a comb that can stop time, a pencil that creates 1961 pennies when tapped, and a bus ticket that can transport people to Ft. Wayne, Indiana.
The most powerful object is a motel room key which grants access to the very room where the objects originated. Elusive and secretive groups collecting these prized objects for various agendas, soon target Joe. As the crews fight, and at times kill for the objects, no one's figured out why or how they got their powers ... until Joe Miller.
Determined to piece the mystery together, Joe is also being sought by the police for the disappearance of his wife and child, who entered the motel room and never re-emerged. Motel Man was created by Christopher Leone, Laura Harkcom, and Paul Workman. Leone and Harkcom will also write.
- Amazing Screw-On Head
Adapted from the Eisner Award winning comic book by Mike Mignola (Hellboy), Amazing Screw-On Head is a half-hour animated comedy based on the exploits of one of history's unsung heroes.
A secret agent who never made the history books, Screw-On Head is in the employ of the U.S. Government. A robot that screws his head onto a wide variety of bodies, Screw On Head battles those who threaten our civilization. Bryan Fuller (Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, NBC's Carrie) and Jason Netter (Kickstart Productions) will executive produce. Fuller will be writing and Netter will oversee animation.
- Monster Smash
Giant mutant monsters step out of our nightmares and into the ring in Monster Smash. Taking WWE-style action to an ultra-gruesome level, Monster Smash uses state-of-the-art prosthetics and special effects to transform actors into grotesque fiends, and then throws them at one compelling backstage drama; Monster Smash follows the hideous combatants as they battle one another.
Including back-stories, they battle to see who will be the last monster standing. SCI FI is in the process of developing Monster Smash with creature maker Stan Winston, with Phil Gurin of The Gurin Company executive producing.
SCI FI will also be running an 8th season of Stargate SG-1 and the a new chapter in the Stargate universe - Stargate Atlantis; as well as the 're-imagined' Battlestar Galactica starring Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell.
