SyFy channel question...

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So I've been watching a TON of SyFy channel this weekend due to being exhausted and sick from the hectic week. When I'm feeling like that, there's nothing like a shlock marathon to make me happy!

But it left me wondering...do you think that if the SyFy channel took all of the money it spends on all of their shitty movies in one year and instead used all of the money to make just ONE movie, could that movie be any good? And...what do you think that movie would look like? What would it be?

I don't think the 'SyFy Channel Original Movies' have their production actually funded by Syfy. Their produced by some direct-to-video production company (I thought it was Asylum, but I'm not sure), and then Syfy picks up the broadcast rights for super-cheap.

When they actually throw some production dollars behind stuff you get things like 'Steven Spielberg's Taken,' the two Dune miniseries, the BSG miniseries, the Caprica pilot movie, etc. But even then the quality is so wildly variable that it's impossible to predict what you'd get if they funded a feature film entirely in-house.
