Katee Sackhoff to Star in Netflix Sci-Fi Series ANOTHER LIFE

"Battlestar Galactica" veteran Katee Sackhoff is ready to head back into space for the new Netflix series "Another Life". The 10-episode sci-fi drama will follow astronaut Niko Breckenridge (Sackhoff) as she leads a crew on a mission to explore the genesis of an alien artifact. Their investigation turns out to be much more dangerous than expected and possibly a one-way trip.

The series is created by Aaron Martin ("Slasher", "Degrassi: The Next Generation"), who will also serve as showrunner. Noreen Halpern ("Alias Grace", "Rookie Blue", "Haven") will executive-produce.

Sackhoff is coming off a six-season run as the female lead in the drama series "Longmire". The final three seasons of that show were produced by Netflix after being cancelled by A&E. Sackhoff also has a recurring role on "The Flash".

Classic Movies: A PISTOL FOR RINGO and THE RETURN OF RINGO - Two Films by Duccio Tessari

<< BUY NOW >>

Product Description: The original Ringo films introduced another iconic hero to the spaghetti western; a clean-cut sharp shooter who was markedly different to Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name.

In A Pistol For Ringo, the eponymous hero, played by Giuliano Gemma (Day of Anger, Tenebrae), infiltrates a ranch of Mexican bandits to save a beautiful hostage (Nieves Navarro, Death Walks on High Heels). In The Return Of Ringo, the gunslinger, now a veteran of war, disguises himself as a Mexican in order to take revenge on outlaws who have stolen his property and taken his wife.

Hugely successful upon their original release, thanks in part to the skilled direction of Duccio Tessari (The Bloodstained Butterfly, Death Occurred Last Night), the Ringo films proved influential on the Italian western, spawning numerous unofficial sequels, due to their gripping set-pieces and unforgettable musical scoring by Ennio Morricone. Arrow Video is proud to present both films in sumptuous new restorations that truly brings their stylish cinematography to life.
