The main characters in SCI FI’s upcoming Warehouse 13 are FBI agents guarding supernatural artifacts, but their inspirations have more to do with classic romantic comedy stars such as Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and Katharine Hepburn, the series’ executive producers said.

Warehouse 13 pairs the reluctant agents Pete Lattimer and Myka Bening and assigns them to track down and retrieve ancient and powerful artifacts scattered across the globe before they fall into the wrong hands.

No one quite knows what the Sci Fi Channel’s latest show Warehouse 13 would be like. Isn’t going to break the bank of creativity, and it’s certainly not going to be as deep or gritty or “real” as Battlestar Galactica. But i guess nobody wants it to. There’s plenty of room for BSG-ish shows, and then there are plenty of rooms for Warehouse 13. The show is debuting in July on the Sci Fi Channel, and will star Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly as FBI agents assigned to a super secret warehouse in the middle of nowhere in charge of guarding a warehouse full of strange, paranormal artifacts. Basically, “The X-Files” meets, well, a goofier version of “The X-Files”. Or in other words a mix of “The X-Files” and “Eureka”

Synopsis:

After saving the life of the President, two Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13 — a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.

Mark Sheppard, who is well known to sci-fi fans for roles in Firefly and Battlestar Galactica, told SCI FI Wire that he shot a quick-turnaround guest appearance on SCI FI’s upcoming original series Warehouse 13.

“A while back, I got a lovely call from my friends at SCI FI, nine and a half pages of dialogue, to do in a day,” Sheppard said in an exclusive interview Wednesday at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles, where he was promoting The Conduit, in which he does a voice. “I was actually out doing publicity for The Conduit on the East Coast. And they called and said, ‘Can you go to Toronto to rehearse on Sunday to shoot on Monday?’ I’m like, ‘I’m in New York. It’s not that hard.’ So it was perfect.”

In the show, two Secret Service agents (Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly) find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13, a massive, top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota that houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government.
