Fans Can Use Their Imagination in Next Round of Voting at http://www.ign.com/syfy/

From the Press Release:

New York, NY – December 16, 2010 – After more than 20,000 votes for three possible

choices, fans have selected a “Roswell” story line for Syfy and IGN.com’s B Movie

Mogul – the online development and production site that lets fans weigh in on an

upcoming Syfy Saturday Original Movie.

The winning concept will be: Another spaceship crash lands in Roswell, New Mexico,

and a dangerous alien creature escapes. Authorities soon realize there is something

under the earth in Roswell that has been attracting spacecraft since 1947, and maybe

even before. Now they have to uncover that secret while they hunt and kill the creature.

Directing the “Roswell” movie will be Jason Connery, son of the legendary former James

Bond star Sean Connery, whose credits include The Devil’s Tomb and the upcoming

Syfy Saturday Original Movie 51, premiering in First Quarter 2011. Tim Tori, whose

credits include Prowl, Hysteria and the upcoming Dragon Eyes, is attached as the writer.

Independent motion picture studio After Dark Films, which created the popular

Horrorfest: 8 Films to Die For Festival, will produce the movie.

But now the fun really begins! Running through the end of the year at
