Amanda Tapping seeks science fiction Sanctuary
04/04/2008 . Source: Jessica Martin 
Production begins this month on SCIFI Channel's new TV series Sanctuary. With Amanda 'Stargate' Tapping, and shot in the style of the movies 300 and Sin City, Sanctuary is the first television series to feature live-action actors against primarily virtual sets. The 13-episode season of this one-hour drama is due to debut Autumn 2008. Buy Sanctuary in the USA - or Buy Sanctuary in the UK  There are creatures that live among us, abnormal offshoots of evolution that live in the fringes, unseen by most. Some are dangerous, but most are benign, becoming violent only because they are threatened by an ever-encroaching world. We consider them monstrous figments of our imagination, but the beautiful, enigmatic Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) knows that they are real.
She has dedicated her life to tracking these mysterious creatures: harboring the benign ones, and protecting the world from the dangerous ones. She is joined in this quest by her daughter Ashley (Emilie Ullerup), tech-whiz Henry, and new recruit Will (Robin Dunne) – a young psychiatrist/profiler with a knack for finding the strange and unusual. Using their combination of instinct, medicine and cutting edge technology, this eclectic team must take on the creatures that lurk in the corners of our civilization.
Sanctuary, which began online as the world's first high-definition sci-fi Web series, is a live-action production shot entirely against a green screen. With this approach to television, 90 per cent of the sets are CGI, allowing their writers to create an expansive world un-tethered from the normal television budget restrictions.
Series creator Damian Kindler (Stargate SG-1) and producer/director Martin Wood (Stargate Atlantis) are Executive Producers and showrunners on Sanctuary. Sam Egan (Jeremiah, The Outer Limits, Masters of Science Fiction) and Tapping also serve as Executive Producers.
