LOS ANGELES - The Syfy cable channel original film "Red Faction: Origins" takes place on Mars. Star Kate Vernon jokes she may have a guess at what life would be like there after filming the movie during the winter in Bulgaria.
"It was very, VERY cold," Vernon says.
Chilling experience aside, the stark location did help the actors get into the story of the Mason family, Martian colonists who must battle for survival and freedom during a war between two factions. Vernon plays the matriarch of the desert-dwelling marauders.
The film is based on a video game, but Vernon found the script to be deep.
"What drew me to my character was this conflict she has as a woman. She's a mother and she's the ruler of this matriarchal society. But, she bore a son and she had to give up her son because he was of no value to her..." Vernon says.
Red Faction: Origins premieres on Syfy Saturday, June 4, 2011 at 9/8C.
Cast includes Robert Patrick, Brian J. Smith, Tamzin Merchant, Kate Vernon, Devon Graye, Gareth David-Lloyd, Danielle Nicolet and Gordon Kennedy.
