... The show’s star Brian J. Smith said about his involvement with the film, “this is not a retelling of the game’s story line, but a story based in the Red Faction’s world. It is a fantastic story direction, I had a great time portraying the character and felt connected to his story."

Robert Patrick said, ”This is not just an outer space “shoot-em up,” there are amazing special effects, but the strength of the story is the real life issues that come up, like father and son connections, survivor’s guilt, just trying to make sense of a world gone mad. There are some amazing twists and turns making this a story the viewer can connect with on many levels...”

Robert Patrick (Terminator 2), Brian J. Smith (Stargate Universe) and Kate Vernon (Battlestar Galactica) star in Red Faction: Origins, based on the hugely successful Red Faction video game franchise. Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason (Patrick) led the Martian Colonies to freedom and 12 years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra (Tamzin Merchant), and left a broken hero in their wake. Jake Mason (Smith), Alec's only son and an officer in the Red Faction Militia, has his world turned inside out when he discovers that now, 12 years after her kidnapping, his sister is still alive. As a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, Jake goes out to find her, only to learn that his lost sister is one of them -- a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction. Vernon portrays The Matriarch, leader of the tribal Marauders sect.

Cast includes Robert Patrick, Brian J. Smith, Tamzin Merchant, Kate Vernon, Devon Graye, Gareth David-Lloyd, Danielle Nicolet and Gordon Kennedy.
