ZOS: Zone of Separation premieres Jan. 19

ZOS: ZONE OF SEPARATION (NEW CANADIAN ORIGINAL SERIES)

Premieres Monday, January 19 at 10 p.m. on The Movie Network (9 p.m. PT on Movie Central)

Co-executive produced by Paul Gross, ZOS: Zone of Separation is a new, eight-part Canadian original drama series about the life and death struggle to enforce a U.N.-brokered ceasefire in the fictional, Sarajevo-like town of Jadac. Unarmed military observers try to defuse crises and maintain the fragile ceasefire between the Christians and Muslims. They move between the rival factions, always in danger, always distrusted – even by the armed U.N. soldiers that have arrived in town to maintain order by any means necessary. The series captures the absurdist reality of living in a violent zone of separation, as well as the real costs to the peacekeepers dropped in to police it. Starring Colm Meaney, Lolita Davidovich, Michelle Nolden, Rick Roberts, Enrico Colantoni and Allan Hawco.

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: ZOS, The Weight

From Judith Klassen at Movie Entertainment Magazine:

  • Freedom Fee
    “‘I’m sorry — I hear Veronica Mars is great, but I mostly watch pay TV.’
    Toronto-born actor Enrico Colantoni (Just Shoot Me, Veronica Mars) laughs off the comment. ‘That’s because (pay TV is) better. You can say fucking shit is what you can say. That’s why network TV is a greater accomplishment: When it’s good, the feat is all that much more difficult to achieve.'” Read more.
  • The Weight, The Wire, ZOS, 2008
    “A month of stuffing your cake hole and listening to Uncle Rex rant about foreign policy at the holiday table can lead to a seasonal strain of post-traumatic stress syndrome. Instead of hitting the gym or the January blow-out sales, why not turn to the tube for a little comparative therapy? You think your holiday blues are bad? Try playing Halo 3 for real in Iraq…” Read more.
