Red Faction Gets the (TV) Movie Treatment

In this era of crossovers and new partnerships arising across mediums in order to snag more attention, THQ has taken a big leap by partnering with SyFy in order to create a live-action Red Faction film called "Origins."

Who's involved in bringing this game world into the realm of film? First up the script comes from writer and producer Andrew Kreisberg, known for his work on Warehouse 13, Fringe, Vampire Diaries and Boston Legal , and the story originates with Paul DeMeo, THQ's Director of Fiction Development. There is no word yet on a director.

The story is set in the time between Red Faction: Guerrilla and Red Faction: Armageddon .

Here's the official descriptions of the film's plot:
"Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason led the Martian Colonies to freedom…and ten years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra, and left a broken hero in their wake.

Jake Mason, Alec’s last surviving son and a ranger in the Red Faction Militia, had never abandoned hope that somewhere in the raw outlands of Mars, his sister was still alive. Now, just as a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, he’s found her, only to learn that his long lost sister is one of them…a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction and conquer the planet in the name of a madman.

Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war."The two-hour film hits SyFy next March, just in time for the new Red Faction game.
