A few months ago we learned that Steven Spielberg was linked with producing a high concept dinosaur TV series by the name of Terra Nova. Since then FOX has ordered an initial 13 episode run of the series with Friday Night Lights Kyle Chandler offered one of the lead roles (he ended up declining the opportunity).
Details on the actual plot have been sketchy up to now – we knew there would be dinosaurs and time-travel, but not much else – but EW has learned the general outline for the script:
Terra Nova begins in 2149 A.D. The scene: a large group of settlers are preparing to leave the apocalyptic world they live in to time travel back millions of years via a massive, high-tech contraption. Their goal is to see trees, enjoy a blue sky, eat real food – basically, to start over in this so-called Eden. But what they find is unlike anything they were expecting.
They go on to suggest that Spielberg has recorded a special introductory message to be shown to advertisers at Monday’s upfronts, if the network green-lights the show to series.
It’s too early to get to get a proper sense of what Terra Nova will be, but the general outline does sound pretty neat. Most of all though I’m looking forward to revisiting the island of Hawaii with more time-bending adventures post-Lost.
