Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Here’s your chance to be part of an incredible journey with Extrasensory, the new British SF feature film from the creators of Ghostwatch.

In 1992 director Lesley Manning and writer Stephen Volk first joined forces to make the ground-breaking BBC “Halloween” drama Ghostwatch, controversially made as if it were a live broadcast from a haunted house. It’s still remembered vividly by its fans 25 years from its inception, with articles this month in The New Statesman and Daily Telegraph, as well as on countless websites and blogs online.

Lesley and Stephen have both worked on many films and TV series since that fateful and incredible collaboration – and remained very close friends ever since – and now they are working on Extrasensory, first announced here on Sci-Fi Bulletin earlier this year. Twin brothers, separated by years of animosity, are brought together because of a secret scientific experiment to test ESP across the reaches of space. A unique and gripping high concept movie, Extrasensory is an emotionally powerful and heart-rending story of betrayal, love and ultimately forgiveness, in which the mysteries of the vastness of outer space conjoin with those of the inner space of the human mind.

“Extrasensory had a long gestation period, some of which was a lonely obsession, but once I showed the script to Lesley and she was as enthused by its possibilities as I was, it suddenly became alive and real.” – Stephen Volk, screenwriter.

“Extrasensory is an extraordinary story. It’s universal and really touches your heart and it has this fantastic visual, epic backdrop, something I think Stephen is very good at, which is true, pure, gold-seamed drama,” – Lesley Manning, director.

The project is being part funded via Kickstarter with many terrific options ranging from DVDs and preview tickets, to lunch with the writer and director, set tours, and even a chance to shadow composer Harry Gregson-Williams.
