Farmer’s Riverworld cast by Sci Fi: Supergirl and Helo

Last month BSC reported that the late, great, Philip Jose Farmer’s Riverworld would be adapted by the Sci Fi Channel to be aired next year as 4-hour movies, with the possibility of spinning into regular series.

Added to the cast are Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse co-star Tahmoh Penikett and Smallville Supergirl Laura Vandervoort.

They will be play the leading roles of Matt Ellman and his fiance (I’d give you a name but one is not given). Also cast are Alan Cumming as the Caretaker; and Jeananne Goossen and Mark Deklin.

    
Riverworld and particularly the first book, To Your Scattered Bodies Go, is among my favorite 200 Speculative fiction works.
