‘12 Monkeys’ Picked Up To Series At Syfy

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Deadline Hollywood | Friday April 4, 2014 @ 12:30pm PDT

Syfy has given a series order to 12 Monkeys, a drama based on the 1995 Universal Pictures film directed by Terry Gilliam. The project, written/co-executive produced by Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett (Nikita) has received a 12-episode order for a January 2015 premiere. 12 Monkeys was one of two pilots most recently ordered by Syfy. The other, Bryan Fuller’s High Moon, is not going forward.

12 Monkeys, from Universal Cable Prods. and Atlas Entertainment, producer of the movie, follows the journey of a time traveler (Aaron Stanford) from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.

Amanda Schull, Noah Bean and Kirk MatalasFickettAcevedo also star. Natalie Chaidez (V) serves as showrunner and executive produces alongside Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Richard Suckle. Jeffrey Reiner directed and executive produced the pilot. “12 Monkeys is a captivating time travel adventure and high stakes race against theclock,” said Syfy president Dave Howe. The pickup of 12 Monkeys comes on the heels of Syfy renewing Ron Moore’s drama Helix for a second season and announcing a return to the longform arena with event series Ascension as the network is shifting towards more serialized fare in the tradition of “space opera” Battlastar Galactica. 12 Monkeys also joins another recently ordered new Syfy series based on a movie, Dominion, adaptation of the feature Legion.
They list "V" for Natalie Chaidez, but more interesting (imo) was her involvement with TTSCC. This could turn into something really cool.

I can't wait for "12 Monkeys vs Mega-Croctopus."

It's Syfy folks. Never get your hopes up for a Syfy Channel movie.

Red Brooklyn 07-17-2014 08:56 AM

That does look better than I expected. And I adore the TG film and the really like the french film that inspired it. So I'll check it out. But I'm... cautiously optimistic.

It's not a movie. It's a series.

Well, the good news is that it can only improve on the movie.

I want it to be good.

I'm not real impressed with Pyro as the lead...

unlurking 10-30-2014 08:52 PM

Looks way to clean. Very, very low expectations with this one.

keg in kc 10-30-2014 08:53 PM

Not sure why, but the 2nd half of the trailer looked better than the first half.

Unfortunately most of the first half is probably from the first half of the pilot.

Wallcrawler 10-31-2014 03:10 PM

Its been a while since I saw the film, but didn't the film already accomplish what the people in the series are trying to do?

Spoilers ahead....I guess. This is an old ass movie.



From what I remember, Bruce Willis finds out who starts spreading the virus. He trails him to the airport where he is to begin his global flightplan to unleash the virus all over the world, and attempts to catch/kill him.

This attempt fails, as old Bruce Willis is gunned down in front of his younger self. As he dies, we see David Morse get on board the plane with his deadly cargo, and he sits down.

The camera pans over, and he's sitting next to one of the scientist women who sent Bruce Willis back in time.

I always assumed that was the "happy ending." Old Bruce Willis dies, but the scientist lady figures out who he was after, finds out where the virus spread begins, figures out who does it, and she eventually either stops him or they figure out a cure to come back with.

Child Bruce Willis then enjoys a normal life because the supervirus plot is undone.

Like I said, been a long time since I saw that movie, but that's what I took from the end. Ultimately Bruce Willis' mission was a success, even though he died in the end.

Or ... maybe since the scientist lady that sends him back is sitting next to David Morse, she dies early on from the virus and is never able to send Bruce Willis back and everyone just dies. Either way, Bruce Willis doesn't have to endure the time travel shit.

Finally watched, gotta say it's better than I expected. Think I'll give it a shot friday.

sd4chiefs 01-17-2015 01:26 PM

Watched it last night. It was just kind of OK.

keg in kc 01-17-2015 11:55 PM

Liked the pilot. Okay in general tv sense, good by syfy standards. Watching 2nd episode on demand now, pretty good so far.

L.A. Chieffan 01-18-2015 12:31 PM

Thought it was decent enough although severely lacking more Gilliam

'Hamas' Jenkins 01-18-2015 12:34 PM

12 Monkeys is one of the most underrated films of my life, and easily the best pure acting Brad Pitt and Bruce Willis have ever done. It's a masterpiece.

I cannot believe that piece of shit Braveheart won best picture over it. I mean I can, because it's the Oscars, but JFC.

Miles 01-28-2015 01:21 AM

Pretty decent so far. Particularly so for syfy standards of the past few years. Blonde chick is also super attractive which helps.

Need to watch the movie again. Probably haven't seen it since the 90's and really dug it then.

keg in kc 02-07-2015 05:54 PM

Pretty good episode this week. Show's still going pretty strong, nothing off the rails yet like happened with Helix last year.

No. And **** no.

I made the mistake of watching the season 2 opener. That show is just trash now.

keg in kc 02-17-2015 04:53 PM

I haven't watched any of Helix this season, so I can't speak to it. 12 Monkeys was good again last week. Nice little twist.

keg in kc 02-27-2015 11:17 PM

Whatever it was I expected to happen on this show, that was not it.

(I'm assuming he splintered out offstage)
