this march -- for the first time ever -- you may have a non-ironic interest in watching a syfy original movie. that's because the live-action red faction movie, now called red faction: origins, will be airing on the network during that month, coinciding with the release of red faction: armageddon. so that's what that other domain registration was about!

the two-hour ''''''pilot'''''' movie (meaning it'll be a series if it does well) takes place between the guerrilla and armageddon games, focusing on alec mason's last surviving son jake, who fights against a new human army dedicated to destroying the red faction. somehow, jake's sister has gotten involved with this group. we can assume because it's a syfy movie that she's also been cursed to turn into a weresnake at night, or that she arrives on a train filled with spiders who have been snacking on nitroglycerin during the journey.

along with the announcement of the movie, thq sent out a new screenshot of red faction: armageddon. find it in the gallery below.
