Deathlands: Homeward Bound on SciFi channel


The SciFi Channel recently re-aired their 2003 original tv movie DEATHLANDS: HOMEWARD BOUND. Love it or hate it, it's a surreal experience to see Vincent Spano and Traci Lords (yep- THAT Traci Lords) as our characters on-screen. We'd love to see a reworked weekly Deathlands tv series, ourselves. Anyone else?

Hal Erickson from All Movie Guide covered the original premiere with this: A feature-length pilot for a possible cable TV series, Deathlands: Homeward Bound was inspired by a series of novels and audio-books written by James Axler (actually a joint pseudonym, shared by several prominent science-fiction authors). Sort of a "Mad Max Meets the A-Team," the film is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where crime and destruction is the norm and law-and-order is in the hands of a few courageous mavericks. Vincent Spano stars as justice-fighter Ryan Cawdor, who travels the scorched countryside in his "SecWag," or military security wagon. Cawdor's hearty band of cohorts include his half-mutant girl, an angry Albino teenager, and a geeky weapons specialist called the Armorer. Not surprisingly, the original "Deathlands" book series was incredibly popular with long-distance truck drivers, presumably the audience to whom this ultra-macho thriller is geared.
