SyFy deploying Red Faction: Origins film March 2011

We're all quite aware about the SyFy's channel's notoriety of showing movies with silly premises (such as this classic) but an exception just might be made. SyFy will be airing the live-action Red Faction: Origins film in March 2011 that may lead into a TV series for the franchise.

Origins takes place between Red Faction: Guerilla and Red Faction: Armageddon with Jake Mason, son of rebel hero Alec Mason, looking for his sister on Mars while serving his time as a ranger in the Red Faction militia. However, a new army appears to take down Red Faction and Jake discovers that his sister is a part of the enemy force.

Andrew Kreisberg (Fring, Vampire Diaries, Boston Legal) is the man behind the screenplay so there's chance Origins might turn out pretty good. It should also be airing around the time Armageddon is released for PC, 360, and PS3; a couple of new screenshots show off some of the deadly aliens players will be dealing with.
