The NBC TV series Eureka, will premiere on July 18, on the SCI FI Channel.

"What is so exciting about this is that the two-hour pilot was produced right here in Nanaimo", said Gwen Harmen, Nanaimo's film commissioner.

The pilot was shot at a studio in north Nanaimo. Scenes were also shot on location in Ladysmith, which appeared as the the town of Eureka, Duncan and Victoria.

"According to www.scifi.com/eureka (SMALL TOWN, BIG SECRET!), the series is based on a confidential secret," Harmen said.

Scifi.com further describes the show's premise: As WWII came to a close ...the role that science and technology would play in the continued security of our world became catastrophically apparent . . . . With the help of Albert Einstein and other trusted advisors, President Harry S. Truman commissioned a top-secret development in a remote area of the 91原创 Northwest that would serve to protect and nurture America's most valuable intellectual resources.

Here our nation's greatest thinkers, the uber-geniuses working on the next era of scientific achievement, would be able to live and work in a supportive environment. A community was created to rival the most idyllic of America's small towns, with one major difference -- this town would never appear on any maps ... at least, none that haven't been classified "eyes only" by the Pentagon."
