X-Men director Bryan Singer has been busy working on Jack The Giant Killer, which is due out March 2013, but the helmer has also found time to produce H+ The Digital Series, a 48-part sci-fi show, offering over three hours of entertaining, which will be released online starting August 8th.
H+ takes viewers on an episodic, apocalyptic journey into the future where consumers are rapidly installing a chip called H+ into their nervous systems that allows them to access the Internet 24 hours a day – by just thinking it. One day, a virus is released causing a third of the worlds population to die instantly. The series deals with the massive political and human changes that take place, the fight for survival and the mystery to discover who is behind this atrocity.
The series is directed by Stewart Hendler (Sorority Row), and stars an acclaimed international cast that includes Alexis Denisof (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Amir Arison (Law & Order: SVU) and David Clayton Rogers (Jane By Design). Bryan Singer comments, “Our first venture into the digital space gives us the freedom to engage fans with new content that is immersive, interactive and is tailored to be enjoyed online, H+ The Digital Series on YouTube provides us with a strong two-way dialogue with our fans, creating a deeper and ongoing connection.
Fans can subscribe to the H+ The Digital Series channel on YouTube. In the coming days and weeks leading to launch, viewers will have access to exclusive new content which will provide insight into the origins of H+ and details about this ambitious and innovative digital series.
