Universal Pictures and SyFy Television are teaming up to form SyFy Films, which will develop and produce genre material under the SyFy banner beginning in 2012.

Mark Stern, executive vice president of original programming at SyFy, and Universal co-chair Donna Langley will oversee the company's production, which plans to churn out two "moderately budgeted" films a year. A production executive is expected to be named to run SyFy Films for Universal.

I'm hoping they're going to be big screen versions of Mansquito and Megashark versus Giant Octopus.

They'll be bankrupt by the end of the decade. Awful move.

Could my dream come true? Could we really get Sharktopus 2: Electric Boogaloo after all?

[Non Banjoble Tokens]

I'll be there in line opening day for "Alien Frankenstein" and "Pumkinhead vs. Croco-Yeti." What the hell else am I going to spend my money on? Food? Clothes? *fart noise*

Oh boy, this should be interesting.

this will only work if Joel McHale does the intro's to all the films...and also add's little parts of commentary during it.

Aw, I was hoping I'd get a chance to see Shark Attack 3: Megalodon on the big screen ... ;D

Huh, I guess my joking about Piranha 3D being a SyFy big screen movie might not be a joke anymore.

All I know is that the chances of seeing the words "Directed by Jim Wynorski" on a big screen just increased exponentially, and that both excites and terrifies me.

I want to resurrect Cannon so people like Albert Pyun and Michael Dudikoff can find work once again.

You know what that means:

Sharktopus sequel TO THE BIG SCREEN!

IN 3D!!!!

Truly this is what 3D was made for.

[Dirty Hazy]

too much to ask for one Stargate SG1 movie and one Stargate Atlantis movie, per year?

[YellowJacketY2J]

I can hear the cash registers remaining closed right now.

Note to self: "...speed up on writing "Elephino: The Joke is Over." This is your chance, man!"

[Sir Woodrow]

I hope this means Eric Roberts is gainfully employed for some time.
