Erica Cerra and Christopher Judge in Dark Swarm

In an interview with Sci Fi Wire, Erica Cerra (pictured, left), who co-stars as hot-to-trot deputy Jo Lupo in the Sci Fi Channel’s Eureka TV show, talks about her upcoming new movie, “Dark Swarm”, about survivors of Earth in the aftermath of a deadly alien attack. According to Cerra, the film will be very CGI heavy, and will utilize a lot of green screen work, ala “300″. The article doesn’t say if this is a Sci Fi Channel Original Movie, which would be really bad news if it was, because the Sci Fi Channel has yet to make an original movie that isn’t cheesy and just downright awful.

Dark Swarm follows a group of people who’ve survived an attack on Earth by carnivorous alien creatures and who prepare to make one last stand against them.

“It’s all CGI,” Cerra said in an interview. “It’s supposed to be really cool. It’s an all-green-screen sort of film. I don’t know how much of it I can give away. But the basic setup is that there is something sort of taking over the Earth. … Initially, they’re under the impression it’s a swarm, but then they start to kind of unravel what exactly it is.”

Besides Cerra, “Dark Swarm” will co-star Christopher Judge (pictured, below) of Stargate fame, and be directed by Tim Pyle.

Production on the sci-fi actioner is expected to begin this summer for a 2009 release.
