Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Los Angeles

Trancers 6 is a 2002 American science fiction horror film directed by Jay Woelfel and starring Zette Sullivan, Jennifer Capo, Robert Donavan, Timothy Prindle, Jere Jon, Jennifer Cantrell, Ben Bar, James R. Hilton, Kyle O. Ingleman, Gregory Lee Kenyon and Douglas Smith. The film was produced by Johnnie J. Young of Young Wolf Productions. It is the final Installment in the Trancers franchise.

Production

In 1995, Paramount Pictures ended its distribution deal with Full Moon Entertainment. Some legal complications arose as a result of the split. While Paramount retained distribution rights to the films it had previously handled, preventing Full Moon from re-releasing any of them, Full Moon retained the rights to produce sequels to those films.

In 2000, Tim Thomerson began exploring ideas on how to revive the Trancers series. After Full Moon lost subsequent distribution deals with The Kushner-Locke Company and Tempe Entertainment, the company had significantly less money to fund its productions going into the 2000s. As a result, Thomerson attempted to write a film that the Sci-Fi Channel could fund and even considered a TV series.

After completing Demonicus, director Jay Woelfel and producer Johnnie Young were offered Trancers 6 by Full Moon Features, leading them to form their own production company: Young Wolf Productions. They joined the project before a script was finalized and helped develop it, hoping to revive the series much like they had attempted with a Battlestar Galactica trailer in 1999.

Filming began around September 11, 2001, which complicated things for obvious reasons, especially with scenes involving guns in public. In one instance, a scene involving a fire extinguisher led to an anthrax scare. Despite the challenges, the shoot went smoothly, with every crew member, including the director and producer, appearing as extras. Issues arose during post-production.

As a result, Full Moon stopped post-production and released a rough cut with rushed sound, incomplete effects, and no bonus content. Jay Woelfel’s intended version of the film was never completed.
