Farscape gets a second chance

According to Sci Fi Wire, SCI FI is bringing back “Farscape” in the form of a new mini-series.

Called “Farscape: Peacekeeper War”, and slated to air in the fourth quarter of this year, the four-hour miniseries picks up where the cliffhanger series finale left off and will reunite John Crichton (Ben Browder), Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black) and the rest of the Moya crew.

The mini-series was written by “Farscape” creator Rockne O’Bannon and executive producer David Kemper.

The network has also nabbed the rights to screen – it must be going to TV first? – “Species III”, starring Robert Knepper, Sunny Mabrey and original “Species” actress Natasha Henstridge.

Quentin Tarantino directing the next 007 film?
