    NEW YORK – January 18, 2012 — Syfy has given a two-hour pilot greenlight to the action thriller Rewind from BermanBraun and Universal Cable Productions, it was announced today by Mark Stern, President of Original Content, Syfy and Co-Head of Original Content for Universal Cable Productions.

    “We couldn’t be happier to be back in business with BermanBraun. Justin Marks has created a time-travel series with an exciting innovative approach that really exemplifies Syfy’s commitment to bring compelling storytelling to life,” said Stern.

    The thriller revolves around a team of military field operatives and civilian scientists who must use untested technology to travel back in time to alter past events in order to change the future and avoid a devastating terrorist attack. Justin Marks wrote the pilot and will executive produce with Tom Spezialy, Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein. BermanBraun and Universal Cable Productions also produce Syfy’s original hit series Alphas, currently entering its second season. Rewind is set to begin production in April 2012.

    Alright first of all I’m glad to see the syphilis channel ordering actual scripted science fiction series again, but does anybody remember the TV show “7 Days”? Isn’t this the same thing?

    Yeah, you are right, it sounds like 7 days.

    What I’m trying to understand now, is where is “Syfy’s commitment to bring compelling storytelling to life” in all those pseudo-reallityes they are producing now?

    you gotta look at it from SyFy’s perspective:

    How much to make an episode?
    Does their audience remember 7 DAYS?
    Was 7 DAYS a bad show??
    How many seasons can we get??
    Etc,..etc..
