Bryan Singer Goes Back To SyFy

Bryan Singer has finally selected his next project and it doesn't involve an alien wearing blue tights and sporting a red flowing cape. The Trades are reporting that the director is reuniting with the SyFy channel for a new six-hour series that is being described as a cross between "National Treasure" and "The Da Vinci Code". The adventure project involves the hot topic of the Mayan calendar's seemingly cryptic prediction of when the world will end.

"I have always been fascinated by the various myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the Mayan calendar," Singer said. "Our story will explore whether we are truly alone in the universe and other related mysteries, all of which are set against the backdrop of an incredibly exciting and fast-paced adventure."

Singer's first joint venture with SyFy resulted in the 2005 mini series, "The Triangle". The director still hasn't publicly acknowledged what his next studio film might be although is name was attached to The Prisoners earlier in the year. One film that seems to have flown away from his grasp is another Superman. WB is reportedly fastracking another Superman movie and James McTiegue has been mentioned as a possible directing choice. Although Bryan Singer is going to walk away from the aftermath with a really heavy wallet.
