from SCI FI Wire<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Felicia Day, star of web videos The Guild<\/em> and Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog<\/em>, who also played “Vi” in the final season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>, will portray a werewolf-hunting descendant of Little Red Riding Hood in the new Syfy Saturday Original Movie, Red<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to premiere in 2011, Red<\/em> is Syfy’s latest re-imagining of classic fairy tales, legends and pop culture characters. The new line of films launched with Beauty and the Beasts: A Dark Tale<\/em>, which starred Estella Warren, on February 27.<\/p>\n

Syfy, one of television’s most prolific producers of original movies, is also developing films around the stories of Aladdin<\/em>, Sinbad the Sailor<\/em> and Hansel & Gretel<\/em>, among other projects.<\/p>\n

In the action-packed Red<\/em>, Red (Day) brings her fianc\u00e9 home, where he meets the family and learns about their business — hunting werewolves. He’s skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him. Red also stars Kavan Smith (Stargate Atlantis<\/em>) and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen<\/em>). Red<\/em> is produced by Angela Mancuso and Vesuvius Productions in association with Chesler Perlmutter Productions.<\/p>\n

In addition to Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>, Felicia is most widely known for her work in web video. She co-starred in Joss Whedon’s Internet musical Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-long Blog<\/em>, which was voted the Best Web TV of 2008 by Time Magazine<\/em>, Entertainment Weekly<\/em> and People Magazine<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Currently she stars in the web series The Guild<\/em>, which she created, writes and stars in. The Guild<\/em> was the winner of the YouTube, Yahoo and SXSW Best Web Series Awards for 2008. The series has generated more than 50 million views web-wide. Day also has a hugely popular Twitter following, reaching more than 1.7 million fans.<\/p>\n

Syfy is a media destination for imagination-based entertainment. With year round acclaimed original series, events, blockbuster movies, classic science fiction and fantasy programming, a dynamic Web site (Syfy.com), and a portfolio of adjacent business (Syfy Ventures), Syfy is a passport to limitless possibilities.
