Heroes star James Kyson Lee is starring in a new TV movie on the Sci-Fi channel called "Star Runners". In the movie, James plays a space bandit (Lei Chen) assigned to ship a crate with his partner. When they open the crate, they find a girl with special powers. (Think Han Solo.) The film was shot last April in Bulgaria, where there was funky Mars-like terrain. After the the movie had completed filming, about a year was spent in post productions, so expect lots of visual effects and CGI. You can see a whole bunch of alien creatures in the promo video. Star Runners will start airing on the Sci-Fi channel on June 13, 2009 at 9pm.
Seems like it has some elements in common with Firefly (space bandits, girl with special powers, etc) as well as Heroes (aforementioned special powers). Seems kind of win-win to me, and it starts airing this Saturday!
Anyone else interested?
