I ran accross this article Playback Mag (July 23) (http://www.playbackmag.com/filmandtv/ontario.cgi) after the stuff about Ace Lightning they talk about Mutant X
Fireworks flies with Mutant X
Production is well underway in Toronto on Fireworks Entertainment's latest sci-fi, action series Mutant X.
Bearing some striking similarities to X-Men, but with no association to the 20th Century Fox franchise, the one-hour series chronicles a group of human mutants fighting for their safety and freedom from the secret agency that used them many years earlier as test subjects for genetic experimentation.
After discovering the extraordinary and sometimes deadly powers of the mutated test subjects, the agency seeks to exploit them. The only hope for the mutants is to take refuge with Mutant X, a band of young mutants led by a mysterious leader.
Fireworks, in association with Tribune Entertainment and Marvel Studios, is shooting the 44-part series June 4 to Feb. 25, 2002 in studio at the Downsview Airforce Base with producer Jamie Paul Rock (La Femme Nikita) and a bevy of Canadian directors, including T.J. Scott (Xena) and John Cassar (La Femme Nikita).
John Shea stars in the series, along with Canadian actors Victoria Pratt (Cleopatra 2525), Victor Webster (Days of Our Lives), Forbes March (All My Children) and Lauren Lee Smith (Get Carter).
Howard Chaykin (The Flash) heads the series' team of writers, which includes Mark Lisson (MacGyver), David L. Newman (The Sentinel) and Elizabeth Keyishian (Queen of Swords).
Spin Entertainment (Cyberworld) is handling F/X.
The series will premier with 22 episodes on Global Television in the fall. It has sold in at least 146 U.S. markets, likely airing on the WB Network, in which Tribune owns a minority interest.
Fireworks has international rights, with Tribune retaining the U.S.
Anyone have any more info on this or any comments?
