Riverworld (2010 miniseries)
Riverworld is a television film that had been intended to be a four-hour television miniseries released on the Syfy channel on April 18, 2010. Based on the Riverworld books by Philip José Farmer, this miniseries is a reboot of the cancelled Sci-Fi Channel Riverworld television series, of which only the pilot episode was produced.
Riverworld stars Tahmoh Penikett, Laura Vandervoort, Jeananne Goossen, Alan Cumming, Mark Deklin, and Peter Wingfield. It is produced by Reunion Pictures, a Canadian-based production company. It is written by Robert Hewitt Wolfe and directed by Stuart Gillard.
The story centers on Matt Ellman, a war reporter, and his beloved Jessie, as they embark on a trip to Singapore, with Matt intending to propose marriage. Tragically, their lives are cut short in a devastating terrorist attack carried out by a suicide bomber.
Their journey, however, does not end with death. Instead, they awaken in an enigmatic realm called Riverworld, a vast and extraordinary planet where every soul that has ever lived on Earth has been reborn along the banks of an endless river. Riverworld serves as a sort of purgatory, offering its inhabitants a second chance at life.
In this world, Matt reunites with several of his deceased friends and encounters famous historical figures, some of whom become his allies, while others emerge as antagonists. Among the antagonists are the explorer Richard Francis Burton and the formidable Francisco Pizarro, the Conquistador who conquered the Incas. On the other hand, Matt finds solace in the company of friendly individuals such as the renowned American author Samuel Clemens, also known as Mark Twain, and Tomoe Gozen, a 12th-century Japanese warrior from the time of the Genpei War who is wedded to Minamoto no Yoshinaka.
Along with the other heroes, Matt soon discovers that Riverworld is not a mere afterlife and is controlled by otherworldly caretakers who are engaged in a civil war.
Riverworld's Caretakers, beings depicted as blue-skinned and cloaked in robes, assume the role of overseers. They are attributed with the creation of Riverworld, at times referred to as "demons". The Caretakers exist in two distinct factions: the Salvationists, driven by the desire to dismantle Riverworld and advance to grander pursuits, and the Second Chancers, who strive to safeguard Riverworld. This division has sparked a civil war, with each faction led by resolute figures.
The leader of the Salvationists perceives their opponent as lacking vision of the broader implications, whereas the leader of the Second Chancers views their adversary as a self-serving betrayer seeking personal gain. In pursuit of their respective objectives, both factions clandestinely enlist champions, despite their laws strictly forbidding direct interference with humans.
