Tonight marks the debut of SCI FI Channel’s expensive miniseries, The Triangle, a supernatural thriller boasting a star-studded cast and promising visual effects work. The three-night primetime event even has a blockbuster pedigree in the form of Independence Day producer Dean Devlin and X-Men director Bryan Singer, who serve as exec producers and collaborated on the story, which was fleshed out by Rockne S. Obannon, creator of the erstwhile SCI FI series Farscape.
The Triangle stars Sam Neil as a billionaire industrialist who assembles a group of disparate professionals to investigate strange disappearances that are crippling his shipping operations. Things take an even deadlier turn when the military takes an interest in their expedition into the unknown. Eric Stolz, Catherine Bell and Lou Diamond Philips lead the cast.
Visual effects for The Triangle were supervised by the team of Volker Engel and Marc Weigert, who earned an Academy award for their work on Independence Day. You can check out all the creepy goodness starting tonight, Dec. 5, at 9 p.m./8 p.m. central on SCI FI Channel. Behind-the-scenes materials and more can be found at www.scifi.com/triangle.
