Renee O'Connor Boards Web Ark
"Monster Ark" star Renee O'Connor told SCI FI Wire that she's wrapped production on a
similarly named SF series for the Internet: "Ark," which combines live action and computer
animation.
In "Ark," O'Connor plays Connie, a young woman who awakens on a spaceship in a pod that
resembles a coffin. She has to determine why and how she is on the ship and whether or not she can
return home.
"['Ark'] is the Internet TV show that I just finished for Judah-Sachs, the show runners for
the 'Beverly Hills 90210' show coming up," O'Connor said during an Aug. 6 conference call,
referring to producers Jeff Judah and Gabe Sachs, who developed the show with creator Robbie
Thompson (Jericho). "That has a sci-fi element, but this woman, she's a heroine. She's a
schoolteacher, and she is a survivor, and I love characters like that."
O'Connor--who has also ventured into writing, producing and directing--also confirmed that
she's submitted several ideas to SCI FI Channel. "I can't really talk about that right now,"
O'Connor said with a laugh when asked if she's working on anything at the moment.
The independent comic publisher Oni Press and 60Frames will launch "Ark" as print comic
books and a Web-based series next year.
