Ricky Schroder's 'Hellhounds' coming to Sci Fi!

This is the most awesome news I’ve read this morning. From The Hollywood Reporter:

“Ricky Schroder [pictured, left] has signed to direct Hellhounds, a telefilm thatwill air next year on Sci Fi Channel.

The movie, set in 500 B.C., stars Scott Elrod [pictured, right, of Men in Trees fame] as Kleitos, a Greek warrior who with his companions fights against thehellhounds of Hades to rescue his bride from the Underworld andbring her back to life. The telefilm, written by Paul A. Birkett,is said to be full of CGI and special effects.”

I know I’m the person who gave the Sci Fi original Mansquito a B, but come on! How can you not want to see that? Who’s with me?
