STALKERS - LIFETIME VIDEO: MOVIE TRAILER - PREMIERES SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 2013 AT 8/7C

Telling the chilling story of a tough, hot-headed cop with a troubled past who teams up with a polished, politically savvy Assistant District Attorney to take down a dangerous stalker, the thriller is inspired by a true story from the book “Whisper of Fear: The True Story of the Prosecutor Who Stalks the Stalkers”, by Rhonda Saunders, a criminal prosecutor who wrote the law on stalking in California.

(Click here for a Q & A with Rhonda Saunders.]

Frustrated with the judicial system’s indifference towards stalking cases, ambitious A.D.A “Julia Winston” (Jodi O’Keefe) is determined to establish a task force charged with tracking and prosecuting predators before they harm or kill their victims. However, Julia’s “boys club” of bosses dismisses her concerns as trivial and repeatedly rebuffs her efforts.

Meanwhile, recently hired detective “Diane Harkin” (Drea de Matteo) faces similar resistance from fellow officers in her new precinct when she discovers numerous unsolved stalking cases. But for Diane, the fight to change the system is personal. She herself is on the run, having fled a violent ex-husband who won’t rest until he catches up with her and their young son.

Crossing paths on an especially harrowing case of a woman terrorized by an obsessive former lover (Mena Suvari), Diane and Julia find common ground and form an unlikely partnership to tackle the case. But the two soon realize that to beat stalkers at their own game, they can’t play strictly by the rules, and that bringing these criminals to justice means both Diane and Julia must put their careers -- and lives -- on the line. Henry Simmons (“NYPD Blue”, “Shark”) also stars as Harkin’s partner “Cliff.”

Cast includes Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Mena Suvari, Drea de Matteo, Brendan Fletcher, Jesse Moss, Mike Dopud, April Telek, Zak Santiago, Darcy Laurie, Duncan Fraser, Doug Abrahams and Tahmoh Penikett.

LOST GIRL - GLOVE AND MAIL: How Canada is becoming the sci-fi nation

by Marsha Lederman
Apr. 13 2013

Call it wall-cracking chemistry: At his audition for the part of Dyson on Lost Girl, Kris Holden-Ried read with Anna Silk, who had been cast as Bo, a supernatural sexual omnivore with a tendency to literally suck the life out of her partners, but who can also be healed by sex. The scene called for a big kiss. Holden-Ried had Silk up against the wall. When they were done, executive producer Jay Firestone pointed behind them: They had cracked the plaster.

They were so involved in the scene, they didn’t realize they did it,” recalls Firestone. Holden-Ried got the part.

Three seasons later, the chemistry continues to steam up the Faedom on Lost Girl, one of a current crop of shows that is taking sci-fi out of your parents’ basement and into the genre-defying almost-mainstream. No Dungeons & Dragons T-shirt required; this is not your geeked-out old-school science fiction. You could call these shows sci-fi mash-ups: complex in terms of categorization, they’re also compelling, cosmopolitan – and Canadian. Not just made in Canada.

There’s a distinction, of course.

Canada has a rich history of American shows coming up north to shoot. That’s particularly so in Vancouver, where The X-Files was a game-changer way back, and continues today with series like Supernatural. Along the way, Canadians went from staffing the American productions to creating their own. Now, shows such as Continuum, Lost Girl and Orphan Black are generating some out-of-this-world (or at least out-of-this-country) buzz and deals; even the cancelled Canadian series Sanctuary has recently struck a syndication deal. Fuelled by all that experience, by the rise of the specialty channel, and by Canadian-content requirements, Canadian science fiction is undeniably having a moment.

There’s been great science fiction that’s come out of Canada,” says Thomas Vitale, executive vice-president of programming and original movies for Syfy, whose schedule includes both Canadian productions and such shot-in-Canada U.S. series as the big-budget Defiance, which was shot in Toronto last year and premieres on Monday (in Canada, on Showcase)...

Artie has infected the team with the Black Orchid artifact which causes the deadly "Sweating Sickness."

In the premiere episode “The Living and the Dead,” the series picks up on the stunning, mid-season cliffhanger. Artie (Saul Rubinek) has infected the Warehouse Team – and the world --with the Black Orchid Artifact’s deadly “Sweating Sickness.”

If Pete (Eddie McClintock), Myka (Joanne Kelly), Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) and Steve (Aaron Ashmore) can’t reverse what Artie has done, the world will be engulfed by the deadliest pandemic since the Dark Ages. But the Team is already succumbing to the disease’s symptoms as they race to stop the artifact sickness -- before it stops them.

Guest stars include Star Trek: Voyager's Kate Mulgrew, James Marsters, Polly Walker, Roger Rees, Thomas Roberts, Lindsy Wagner, Darrin Baker and Jason Gosbee.

Among the new Season 4.5 guest stars are Polly Walker (Caprica, Rome), who portrays Charlotte Dupres, a historian who may know more about the Warehouse than she lets on. Walker’s multi-episode arc begins in the premiere. Later in the season, Kelly Hu (The Scorpion King, Cradle 2 the Grave) joins the cast as Abigail Cho, a protégé of Mrs. Frederic (CCH Pounder).

Returning Season 4.5 guest stars include Defiance's Jaime Murray as H.G. Wells and Star Trek: Voyager's Kate Mulgrew as Jane Lattimer.
