We have a new telling of a classic story on the next Syfy Original Movie. On February 11th we get Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island.

Here’s the description…

During the American Civil War five northern POWs make the decision to escape the war by hijacking a hot air balloon. Drifting through the night, they wake to find themselves marooned on a desert island, but they aren’t alone. Littered with wreckage, the island is home to cast of survivors who have been lost in space and time including two young women from modern times who become stranded while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. Faced with defending themselves against vicious pirates, terrifying creatures, and an active volcano that’s ready to blow, they must find a way to survive and escape the island. The cast includes Gina Holden, Lochlyn Munro, Mark Sheppard and W. Morgan Sheppard.

For more information you can visit the movie’s official website and Facebook page.

The next vintage title coming up on Saturday B Movie Reel will be the the 1984 cult classic Repo Man.

Here’s the description…

Lacking role models and a purpose, baby-faced delinquent Otto (Emilio Estevez) finds a code of honor and a higher calling when he hooks up with a band of contemporary “knights”: the repo men. A “seasoned” auto repossessor (Harry Dean Stanton) shows Otto the ropes, and when a big reward is offered for an elusive 1964 Malibu, Otto dodges G-men, cops, religious kooks — you name it — in a frenzied quest for the car. Does his fate lie in its trunk?
