Don't worry, we're not printing spoilers -- but THQ did send out some scant details for its upcoming collaboration with the SyFy Network on a two-hour TV movie. Look for it in March 2011.
The movie, called Red Faction: Origins, was penned by Andrew Kreisberg (Warehouse 13, Fringe, Vampire Diaries and Boston Legal) and conceived of by Paul DeMeo (The Rocketeer, Flash, Viper, The Sentinel). Here's the press blurb with its few plot details:
Twenty-five years have passed since Alec Mason led the Martian Colonies to freedom...and ten years since vengeful enemies killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter Lyra, and left a broken hero in their wake.
Jake Mason, Alec's last surviving son and a ranger in the Red Faction Militia, had never abandoned hope that somewhere in the raw outlands of Mars, his sister was still alive. Now, just as a powerful new enemy swarms across the planet, he's found her, only to learn that his long-lost sister is one of them...a cold-blooded soldier sworn to destroy the Red Faction and conquer the planet in the name of a madman.
Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war.
No word on when principal photography kicks off -- but with other networks kicking off their shoots later this month in time for the 2011 season, we bet it starts soon.
