In anticipation of Ronald D. Moore’s (Battlestar Galactica, Outlander) new show HELIX airing on Channel 5 this Monday (20th Jan 2014) at 10pm, they’ve sent us this little clip of the opening episode.
HELIX is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to the high-tech research facility – Arctic BioSystems – to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation! However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg… and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel.
Starring Billy Campbell (The Killing US, The 4400, The Rocketeer, The O.C), Hiroyuki Sanada (Lost, The Railway Man, The Wolverine), Jordan Hayes (Nikita) and Neil Napier (Riddick, White House Down).
Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Outlander), Steven Maeda (Lost, The X-Files) who is also showrunner, Lynda Obst (Contact, Sleepless in Seattle), and Brad Turner (Hawaii Five-0, 24) are Executive Producers.
HELIX will air in the UK on Channel 5, Monday 20th January at 10pm
My problem with this program is one with the director, in essence I no longer trust him because of what he did in the finale of Battlestar Galactica (see my review here: http://www.geekanology.com/main/index.php/opinion/2-categoryopinion/39-battlestar-galactica-finale). AS you can see I absolutely hated what he did to end the series so it’s going to take me a long time to trust him again.
