Variety reports that Universal Pictures and NBC Universal cabler Syfy have launched genre shingle Syfy Films, a production company set up to develop Syfy branded content for the big screen. The new shingle will produce one to two sci-fi, fantasy or horror pics annually starting in 2012; films will be distributed by Universal.
2012, eh? Is this another sign of the apocalypse? This has to be somewhere on that nasty Mayan calendar. Stay tuned.
