Red Faction coming to a small (TV) screen near you!

THQ and US cable network Syfy team up to produce live action Red Faction telemovie. This might be... interesting.

In a partnership that THQ is calling a "first-of-a-kind transmedia deal", Syfy and THQ have just announced a two hour live action movie pilot to air in March of next year called Red Faction: Origins. The movie will be set between the last Red Faction game, Guerilla, and the upcoming Red Faction: Armageddon.

There's some good talent behind the project too. The screenplay has been written by Andrew Kreisberg, who's worked on Boston Legal, Fringe and Warehouse 13, with a story by Paul DeMeo, who handled The Rocketeer.

The Rocketeer! Okay, maybe we're the only one's who still remember that fondly...

And, of course, Syfy - formally the Sci Fi Channel - has an awesome pedigree of quality science fiction. And since this is a pilot, success will likely mean an entire series of building smashing action. Bring it on.
