10/23/07 - SCI FI Channel will run a two-hour SF drama/action pilot called Revolution, the story of "New America," a distant colony on an Earth-like planet struggling for its independence from an increasingly hostile homeworld. Revolution is created and written by Ed Redlich and John Bellucci, who will both serve as executive producers, along with executive producer Simon West and co-executive producer Jib Polhemus for Simon West Productions. New America is a colony settled by the "United State of America" 50 light-years away on a planet resembling our own. The pilot centers on the Hart family, one of the founding families of New America. Tom, a former military man turned industrialist, is the patriarch of the family, who is facing great pressure from the government to tax the already heavily burdened colonists.
