The SciFi Channel has put up online their monthly schedule PDF on the NBC/Universal Cable web site and does have one airing of the pilot movie version of Storm Front Scheduled for 3 AM Saturday March 8th (or late night Friday March 7th since the programming day goes until 6 am for SciFi).

No other airing is listed that I can see.  You'd think with the dearth of new drama they'd at least run it in prime time instead of 3 AM....

Here's the link to the PDF.

Schedule is very much subject to change.  Maybe time for a campaign to get it a reasonable time slot.

Anybody know anything about who's making it, acting in it, or how much story they're planning to cover. 

These things and more I don't know.

It's the two hour version of the pilot.  Many of us already have it.   

It's all the regular actors.   It's far superior to the forty minute version on the DVD and yes, Terrence Mann is in it as Bob.

It may be at an awkward time 3-5am, however it might be an incredible bit of luck for us Dresden File fans....

This may sound conspiratorial--but Bonnie steps down & gives full reign to the new guy? (Sorry don't have the time to go get his name of the Bonnie thread.) Could the new guy be in our corner on the Dresden Files?  keep the heart rate steady, it's just wild speculation.  Remember that we don't know that Bonnie wasn't pulling for us all along and got cut off by the higher ups.  Now she's a higher up--maybe she has more pull for the show as well?

Also note this bit of news that popped up this morning on mediabistro.com site for an article on the NYTimes.  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/business/media/23pilots.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

No expensive pilots---might mean a softening towards a past show that HAS continued to have support long after the series was over and has been proven via Jim's continued success on the NYT book list...(as well as a lot of fans that are dis-enfranchised from sci-fi channel as a result. There are so many of us that still refer to it as the "channel that shall not be named".  :-)  Maybe the show that increased interest in the books will come back around to increase possibility of the show returning?....


Yes, that is all speculation--but hey what else can a fan do but read the tossed bones and tarot cards?

This will technically be the last 'new' episode of Dresden files to air on the Scifi Channel...

3am?  That makes no sense whats so ever.  Is it possible that Sci Fi will air the Pilot early, like in Feb?  Why spend money to air the Pilot at 3am?
