Some Exciting News for "Burn Notice" Fans

“Burn Notice” fans got some pretty big news last week as USA announced a two-hour prequel to the show will begin shooting in January.

The prequel will star Bruce Campbell as his “Burn” character Sam Axe. Jeffrey Donovan, the show’s star, will direct the movie.

Here is the description from the USA press release:

“The prequel, set in late 2005, begins after a faction of Columbian rebels makes trouble for the locally stationed military platoon, with Lieutenant Commander Sam Axe (Campbell) being sent down to advise. As the mission unfolds, Sam begins to uncover the dark secrets of the area, learning the truth about sacrifice, deception, and ultimately what’s worth fighting for.”

The movie is scheduled to air in Spring 2011.
