This March — for the first time ever — you may have a non-ironic interest in watching a SyFy original movie. That’s because the live-action Red Faction movie, now called Red Faction: Origins, will be airing on the network during that month, coinciding with the release of Red Faction: Armageddon. So that’s what that other domain registration was about!
The two-hour “pilot” movie (meaning it’ll be a series if it does well) takes place between the Guerrilla and Armageddon games, focusing on Alec Mason’s last surviving son Jake, who fights against a new human army dedicated to destroying the Red Faction. Somehow, Jake’s sister has gotten involved with this group. We can assume because it’s a SyFy movie that she’s also been cursed to turn into a weresnake at night, or that she arrives on a train filled with spiders who have been snacking on nitroglycerin during the journey.
Along with the announcement of the movie, THQ sent out a new screenshot of Red Faction: Armageddon. Find it in the gallery below.
