Falling Skies on AXN Beyond

 Falling Skies lands on your TV sets Oct. 3

 

Executive produced by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Schindler’s List) and co-created with Oscar nominated screenwriter Robert Rodat (Saving Private Ryan), Falling Skies, US cable TV’s top new series of 2011 is set to unleash an extraterrestrial invasion of apocalyptic proportions upon Asia’s audiences.

The riveting new blockbuster science fiction TV series premieres 3 October and airs on Mondays at 8.20pm in 14 markets across the region, first and exclusively on pay-TV channel AXN Beyond.  With Steven Spielberg himself involved in shaping the script, cast, edits, post production to even the aliens and spaceships, AXN Beyond viewers can expect a world class production in Falling Skies. The series hails from the TV production and distribution division of Hollywood studio DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks Television, which has been responsible for global hit shows such as The Pacific and Band of Brothers.

Falling Skies is an epic saga in the aftermath of an all-out invasion of Earth by aliens. Set in the chaotic world left completely devastated by the extraterrestrial attack, Falling Skies picks up six months into the alien occupation where the few survivors have come together outside what is left of key cities in an attempt to fight back.

Falling Skies stars Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominee Noah Wyle (E.R.) as Tom Mason, a Boston history professor whose wife was killed in the invasion and the second of his three sons was captured by aliens. Determined to rescue his son and safeguard his two other boys, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history and strategies to the test as the second-in-command of ‘2nd Mass.’, a resistance force named after their base in Boston, Massachusetts.

Mighty, mysterious and merciless, the extraterrestrial conquerors are highly intelligent and are able to fight using military-like tactics. Combining live-action and visual effects, aliens named ‘Skitters’ are six-legged spider-like monsters with incredible strength and agility. Bipedal, robotic ‘Mechs’ walk upright and fire deadly projectiles from their arms. The ‘Skitters’ and ‘Mechs’ serve even more powerful extraterrestrials that will be unveiled in the series. 

A tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which ordinary people are called upon to become heroes, Falling Skies – with the off- and on-screen magic of Spielberg, Rodat, Wyle and more – will unfold as a blockbuster saga of human’s last stand this October, only on AXN Beyond!

Falling Skies premieres 3 October, airing Mondays at 8.20pm in commercial-free double episodes, first and exclusively on AXN Beyond

PREMIERES on August 25, airing every Wednesday and Thursday at 8:10 PM

Top Chef judge Gail Simmons hosts the reality series together with celebrated pastry chef Johnny Luzzini. The show will also feature judges Hubert Keller, critically acclaimed chef of the world-renowned restaurant Fleur de Lys, and Dannielle Kyrillos, Daily Candy editor-at-large.

Each episode of "Top Chef: Just Desserts" holds two challenges for the pastry chefs. The first is a quick-fire test of their basic abilities, and the second is a more involved elimination challenge designed to test the versatility and inventiveness of the pastry chefs as they take on unique culinary trials such as working with unusual and exotic ingredients or catering for a range of demanding clients. Whether it's wedding cakes or flaming desserts, chocolate masterpieces or edible fashion – these chefs will prove that a little sugar and spice never tasted so nice.

Winchester Brothers Reunite in Supernatural Season 6 on AXN Beyond

Having battled Archangel Michael and the Devil himself, as well as stopping the prophesied Apocalypse at the end of the last season, one would have thought that it couldn’t get any worse for the demon-hunting Winchester brothers.

Indeed, the war won with the help of the few remaining fellow hunters and rebel angel Castiel (Misha Collins, 24) left Sam (Jared Padalecki, Friday the 13^th, House of Wax) imprisoned in Hell, while Dean (Jensen Ackles, Dark Angel, Smallville), resigned to losing his elder brother, swore to retire from their lifelong hunt for evil, never to return.

Yet, the sixth and latest season of the hit paranormal adventure drama series Supernatural, now airing Mondays to Fridays, 9:50pm first and exclusively on AXN Beyond, will be darker and more sinister, as the Winchester brothers’ relationship faces its toughest test yet...

Following last season’s spectacular conclusion of the five-season story arc envisioned by the creator Eric Kripke (Boogeyman), Supernatural continues to reinvent itself, with fellow executive producer Sera Gamble (Eyes) helming the latest season that comes complete with a fresh story arc.

As Supernatural picks up a year on in the new season, Dean picks up the pieces of his life and settles down in the suburbs with his old flame, Lisa. He is now a construction worker, a good boyfriend to Lisa, and a surrogate father to her son, Ben.

Camelot on AXN Beyond - The Story that was never told

 Epic Drama Series Premieres Across Asia 
The Same Week As Its US Debut

The myth of King Arthur has been told many times and many ways.  Films, TV series and dramas have portrayed one of the most celebrated characters in our known history, be it a myth or reality, it has grown to be one of the greatest stories the world has known over.

If you believe you have seen it all, maybe it’s time to open your hearts and minds to this epic drama series. This April 4 (Monday) at 9PM, AXN Beyond brings you Camelot, a dark and gripping take on the medieval legend that was never told.

Camelot is the first drama series on AXN Beyond to have a simulcast across Asia in the same week as its U.S. broadcast.  We were invited for a sneak preview at My Cinema Greenbelt 3, to witness the pilot episode of Camelot.  The 10-part series is a compelling drama of how young Arthur came about his trials to become the great king we have known him for.  Be there to witness how Arthur, the son of Uther came about to realize his destiny to be the King of Kings.  He struggles to unite a kingdom torn by war, deception and betrayal.

  Eva Green as Morgan

I love how the series was a tad different from the Arthur that we know off, with many portrayals in cartoons and movies, it is such a relief to see a different side and perspective on how King Arthur came to be.  How an innocent boy came to be one of legends most respected and unforgettable characters.  Be ready to be taken away to the Medieval times, and relive Camelot where no one has taken you before.

-The Synopsis-

Joseph Fiennes as Merlin

The kingdom of Camelot teeters on the edge of turmoil when King Uther Pendragon is suddenly murdered through supernatural means. Sorcerer Merlin (Joseph Fiennes, FlashForward, Shakespeare in Love) arrives too late to  save the dying king, but dark visions compel him to install Uther’s secret son – hidden at birth and brought up as a commoner – as heir to the throne. So begins the rise of the young and impetuous Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower, Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, The Twilight Saga: New Moon) as the new king.

Allying with dark supernatural forces and the kingdom’s enemies, Morgan, Arthur’s beautiful but ruthlessly ambitious half sister (Eva Green, The Golden Compass, Casino Royale) wages a bitter war against him to claim the crown.

Camelot is being brought to life by a stellar cast with Jamie Campbell Bower playing young Arthur, while critically acclaimed actress Eva Green portrays Morgan, the evil half sister of Arthur.  Morgan’s foil, the resourceful, macho man-of-action Merlin is played by veteran Joseph Fiennes. British actress-model Tamsin Egerton is Guinevere, who falls for Arthur even when betrothed to knight Leontes.

Arthur’s birth mother Igraine is played by English actress Claire Forlani (Meet Joe Black), while Canadian actor Peter Mooney (Falcon Beach) takes the part of Arthur’s adoptive elder brother and loyal knight, Kay.

Tamsin Egerton as Guinevere

Camelot was shot in stunning scenery in County Wicklow, Ireland, including on location at the stately Luggala Castle and the magnificent Powerscourt Estate. Dubbed the "Garden of Ireland” at the eastern frontier of the country overlooking the Irish Sea, County Wicklow, with its breathtaking rolling hills, was also where hit period drama series The Tudors was shot.

Clair Forlani as Igraine

Camelot is shot on a budget of almost US$50 million, with up to 400 cast and crew members involved. The 10-part series is an Irish/Canadian co-production by GK-tv, the production studio behind the 2010 movie, The Tourist. The series is created by British screenwriter Michael Hirst, who was behind such works as The Tudors and the movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and penned by Chris Chibnall of Torchwood and Life on Mars fame.

The viewers of Camelot will not miss out on signature events and characters, such as the ‘sword in the stone’, the ‘Lady of the Lake’, and the beginnings of the Round Table – but with a whole new perspective.

With all the ingredients of a world-class production, Camelot promises an experience beyond your imagination as the epic, untold story is revealed this April, only on AXN Beyond. Starring: Jamie Campbell Bower, Eva Green, Joseph Fiennes.  Camelot premieres 4 April 2011 in the same week of its US debut.  Airing Mondays 9pm (SG, MY, PH, HK) / 8pm (JKT).  First and exclusively on AXN Beyond.
