PRODUCTION COMMENCED ON CRUSADE
Turner Network Television (TNT) has commenced
production on CRUSADE, the highly anticipated new
series from the creators of the Emmy Award- and Hugo
Award-winning series Babylon 5. Gary Cole, Tracy
Scoggins, Daniel Dae Kim, David A. Brooks, Marjean
Holden, Carrie Dobro and Peter Woodward will head the
cast of CRUSADE, which is set to launch on the network in
1999. Douglas Netter and series creator J. Michael
Straczynski will executive-produce for Babylonian
Productions.
CRUSADE begins after a savage attack on Earth by the
Drakh, allies of the evil Shadows. Earth's humans have
succeeded in defeating the alien force, but not its final
revenge: a biogenetic plague that will eliminate all human
life on Earth, unless a cure can be found. The White Star
fleet -- led by the advanced prototype warship Excalibur --
combs the ruins of races far more advanced than humans
to find the cure that will save them.
Cole will lead the cast as Captain Matthew Gideon,
commanding officer of the Excalibur. Cole also appears in
the upcoming feature releases A Simple Plan, with Bill
Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton; I'll Be Home For
Christmas, with Jonathan Taylor Thomas; and Kiss The
Sky. He recently completed production on Office Space,
with Jennifer Aniston, for director Mike Judge. His credits
also include From the Earth to the Moon, The Brady
Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel, Gang Related
and In The Line Of Fire, with Clint Eastwood. On
television, Cole starred in the series American Gothic
and Midnight Caller and received critical acclaim for his
role in the miniseries Fatal Vision.
Scoggins reprises her role from Babylon 5 as Captain
Elizabeth Lochley. She starred in the television series The
Colbys, Dynasty, Lois and Clark: The New
Adventures of Superman and Highlander, as well as
the telefilm Dallas: J.R. Returns.
Kim stars as Lieutenant John Matheson,
second-in-command of the Excalibur. Most recently, Kim
was seen in The Jackal and Addicted to Love.
Brooks will play Max Eilersen, a specialist in finding new
technologies in the ruins of ancient civilizations. On
television, he starred in Melrose Place and The Young &
The Restless.
Holden stars as Dr. Sarah Chambers, a biogeneticist
assigned to the Excalibur. She starred in Mortal Kombat:
Annihilation and appeared in Speed 2 and The Lost
World.
Dobro will play Dureena, an alien whose own people were
wiped out by the Drakh. Dobro starred in the television
series Hypernauts and appeared on Babylon 5.
Woodward stars as Galen, one of a rare order of humans
and aliens who use advanced technology to simulate the
effects of magic. He recently starred in the BBC production
of Sense & Sensibility and numerous productions for the
Royal Shakespeare Company.
