A new World Wide Web TV show could blame up where Firefly left off , telling gritty stories of course of instruction warfare on human colonies . Venus Risesis film nowin New Jersey . Four episodes will be usable next twelvemonth on interior video - on - demand cable channelIllusion TVas well the show’sown website . One glance at the first episode ’s synopsis shows how deeply Firefly is in Venus Rising ’s DNA .
Venus come up take blank space 50 class in the future tense , after a calamity has wiped out Earth . Humans have settle on Venus and Mars , using mostly crappy engineering from abandoned government space projects . The Venusians become the working division , toil ceaselessly for the “ societal elite group ” of Mars . When Venus Rises begins , a conflict is brewing between the two planets , and a chemical group of ally on a fueling post orbiting Earth get caught in the middle .
author / theatre director J.G. Birdsall mostly has experience form on Star Trek rooter films , which could be a bad sign . But Smallville / The O.C. scribe C.S. Arnold is also involved , as a writer as well as actor . In any pillowcase , Birdsall is in all likelihood veracious when he says express like Venus Rises are the future of televised skill fable . Reality shows are driving out written shows on program tv set , and skill fable that contract place in distance , or the future , is too expensive and lacks a guaranteed audience . So direct - to - web productions like Venus Rises ( or Lady Apocalypse ) may pick up some of the slack . The only interrogation is whether they can throw off the mark ( and attitude ) of “ fan picture show . ”
