The Movie Network’s upcoming shows

From a media release:

Making its debut in October 2008 is the new Canadian original series Sanctuary that comes from some of the creative talents behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Starring Amanda Tapping, Sanctuary is shot almost entirely on green screen and is the first television series in North America to use the RED camera system, a digital medium that offers more than double the resolution of a high definition camera. In early 2009, The Movie Network will unveil the Paul Gross executive produced drama ZOS: Zone of Separation and playwright George F. Walker’s The Weight, two Canadian original series which chronicle a war abroad over religion and a war at home based around the drug trade.

In the news: Instant Star addiction

From Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star:

  • Ben Rayner’s Reasons to Live
    “Instant Star. Gah! I hate myself for it, but CTV’s Idol-themed teen melodrama has a Melrose-like addiction factor of 10. Where once it was just bad, Instant Star’s grossly inaccurate “behind the scenes” portrayal of the music industry is now sufficiently dreadful after four seasons to have transcended dreadful. Plus, Jude looks totally smokin’ with that new hairdo.” Read more.
