J.J. Abrams' Top-secret Sci-fi Show Lands at Fox
|
|
Following a heated bidding war, Fox backed up the Brinks truck and made a series commitment to Fringe, which was until now a super-hush-hush
new project from J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. Fox reportedly will pony up some $10 million for a two-hour pilot - that's on par
with Lost's own debut - as well as pay a sizable $2 mil-per-episode licensing fee to Abrams' Bad Robot.
Oh yeah, the premise: Fringe concerns a young female FBI agent (my favorite kind) who in the name of investigating a rash of unexplained phenomena teams with an institutionalized scientist whose life's work may be at the heart of the strange goings-on. " |

So FOX pretty much paid ten million to re-do the X-Files.
I have brainstormed a Married with Children knockoff that they can have for a hundred instant lottery tickets. |

Is everything that JJ Abrams does now top secret until it's time for the reveal?

That's my post-blood-drinking pose for the Halloween period. Purely coincidental.

Sounds like an Alias spinoff/re-invention. Which could be a good or bad thing.

Sorry for being off-topic and ignorant, but whatever happened to Lost? Are they still showing it? I don't see any previews/buzz about it.

Lost returns in Feb for 16 straight weeks. That's how they're doing it now. 3 more seasons of 16 each for a total of 48 eps to go until the end.

Bumping the Stickied Fringe thread.
Can't wait for this to come out. I admit, I wasn't interested at all until I saw the cast. Then I actually read more into it and I really like the premise. |

Um, the description totally got my nipples hard. An X-Files/Alias hybrid by the maker of Lost? Fabu.

Oh yeah, the premise: Fringe concerns a young female FBI agent (my favorite kind) who in the name of investigating a rash of unexplained phenomena teams with an institutionalized scientist whose life's work may be at the heart of the strange goings-on. " This kind of sounds like a combination of all of JJ Abrams' past projects. |

I believe the FBI agent should be none other than...
Agent Veronica Mars! |
