"It has an awesome cast. Giovanni Ribisi is signed on, and there's Ryan Gosling and Anjelica Huston and all sorts of really neat people," gushed Murphy.

Murphy described Michaels as one of the "most exciting, innovative new directors" she's ever met to SCI FI wire. Michaels was a story editor on such television shows as Knots Landing, Alf and Max Headroom before becoming a television and film producer. "The Other Side" has also attracted the attention of Eddie Izzard, Jim Broadbent, Dave Matthews, Lili Taylor and Jason Lee, all confirmed cast members.

"I love his vision....I haven't read anything like it before. It's very otherworldly. You can draw comparisons to things such as Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton. It's a lot of very unique things combined, but it's definitely its own creature," said Murphy in an interview with reporter Ian Spelling for SCI FI wire.
