SYFY’S POPULAR SERIES HAUNTED COLLECTOR INVESTIGATES THE HOME OF HOLLYWOOD LEGEND ORSON WELLES IN WEDNESDAY, MAY 8 EPISODE

NEW YORK – May 2, 2013 – Is a Hollywood icon haunting a house?

 

Eminent paranormal expert John Zaffis, host of Syfy’s popular series Haunted Collecter, travels to Hollywood to investigate ghostly disturbances in the grand home where legendary film director Orson Welles once lived. The episode premieres on Syfy Wednesday, May 8 at 9PM (ET/PT).

 

As Zaffis and the team learn, odd paranormal events began when home owner Joe Liebke first screened the Welles’ classic Citizen Kane — considered by many experts the greatest movie ever made – for friends. All was well until the television began flickering, followed by a complete loss of power throughout the house – the only home to mysteriously go dark while electricity in the rest of the neighborhood remained on.

 

Following this incident, there was a steady escalation in unexplained activity, including a moving shadow figure that has unlocked a dead-bolt right before his eyes, phantom footsteps and bizarre electrical outages.

 

Academy Award-winning musician Paul Williams, who once lived in the house, appears in the episode.

 

Haunted Collector is produced by Gurney Productions. Executive producers are Scott Gurney and Deirdre Gurney.

SYFY DEVELOPING TWO CLASSIC SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS TO MINISERIES

LARRY NIVEN’S RINGWORLD FROM MGM TELEVISION AND UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS

ARTHUR C. CLARKE’S CHILDHOOD’S END WITH MICHAEL DELUCA AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS

NEW YORK – April 10, 2013 – Syfy announced today it is developing miniseries based on two of science fiction’s greatest novels: Larry Niven’s Ringworld and Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End.

Adapted by writer Michael Perry (The River, Paranormal Activity 2), Ringworld is based on Niven’s best-selling book and is being developed as a four-hour mini-series Syfy event. The project is a co-production of MGM Television and Universal Cable Productions (UCP), with MGM as the lead studio. Executive producers are William S. Todman Jr. and Edward Milstein.

 

Childhood’s End will be executive produced by Michael DeLuca (The Social Network) with Universal Cable Productions serving as the studio.

As they crash land on this enormous structure, they discover the remnants of ancient civilizations, technology beyond their wildest dreams, mysteries that shed light on the very origins of man and, most importantly, a possible salvation for a doomed Earth.

Childhood’s End follows a peaceful alien invasion of Earth by the mysterious Overlords, whose arrival ends all war and turns the planet into a near-utopia.
