EXCLUSIVE: Jason O'Mara in talks to star in 'Terra Nova'



Jason O'Mara is finalizing his deal to star in Terra Nova, Fox's midseason series produced by Steven Spielberg and Peter Chernin. The pact had been in the works for the past two weeks.

Terra Nova, one of the highlights at the Fox upfront presentation, centers on the Shannons, an ordinary family from 2149 when the planet is dying who are transported back 85 million years to prehistoric Earth where they join Terra Nova, a colony of humans with a second chance to build a civilization. O’Mara will play Jim Shannon, a devoted father with a checkered past who guides his family through this new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Alex Graves recently came on board to direct the pilot for the series, which is produced by 20th TV, DreamWorks TV, Kapital Entertainment and Chernin Entertainment.

Keine Dinosaurier zur Midseason: US-Network FOX wird seine neue prähistorische SciFi-Serie Terra Nova regulär erst im Herbst 2011 auf Sendung gehen lassen. Vorher soll es jedoch im Frühjahr die Pilotfolge an einem Spezial-Termin geben.

Zitat

Hier kannst Du einen ersten offiziellen Blick auf Terra Nova, die kommende TV Sci-Fi Serie aus der Produktion von Fox in Zusammenarbeit mit Steven Spielberg, werfen:

Die Familie Shannon (Jason O’Mara, Landon Liboiron, Naomi Scott, Alana Mansour und Shelley Conn) und andere Siedler mussten in der Zeit zurück in die prähistorische Erde reisen, um einer überbevölkerten und dystopischen Erde im Jahre 2149 zu entfliehen: Sie bilden die erste Kolonie von Menschen bei dieser zweiten Gelegenheit für die Zivilisation.

Neben zahlreichen Werbesports und Filmtrailern nutzte der US-Sender FOX den gestrigen Super Bowl auch, um seine neue Serie Terra Nova, ein teures Prestigeprojekt von Produzent Steven Spielberg, den Zuschauern vorzustellen. In zwei Episoden am 24. und 25. Mai präsentiert US-Network FOX den amerikanischen Zuschauern die neue Serie „Terra Nova“. Obwohl der Sender eigentlich ursprünglich im vergangenen Mai 13 Episoden geordert hatte, führten Produktionsverzögerungen dazu, dass noch nicht sicher ist, ob diese auch wirklich gedreht werden. Ein erfolgreicher Start am Ende der Season könnte da sicherlich Gewissheit schaffen. Ein katastrophaler Start würde allerdings vermutlich auch die Lage klären...

Zitat

Wer hätte das gedacht? Die für Ende Mai geplante Vorab-Premiere von Terra Nova wird nicht stattfinden. Grund: Die Arbeiten an den Special Effects der extrem aufwändigen Science-Fiction-Serie ziehen sich hin. Die Nachricht kommt kaum überraschend: FOX hat - schon wieder - die Premiere seines Science-Fiction-Megaprojekts „Terra Nova“ verschoben. Ursprünglich hatte die Serie bereits zur aktuellen Midseaon auf Sendung gehen sollen. Die enorm aufwändigen Produktionsarbeiten hatten dann jedoch eine Verschiebung auf die kommende Season nötig gemacht. Allerdings sollte zumindest der zweiteilige Pilotfilm bereits am 23. und 24. Mai bei „FOX“ im Rahmen eines speziellen Preview-Events zu sehen sein.

Official Press Release: From executive producers Steven Spielberg (“Saving Private Ryan,” “Jurassic Park”), Peter Chernin, René Echevarria (“Castle,” “The 4400”) and Brannon Braga (“24”) comes an epic family adventure 85 million years in the making.

TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in jeopardy, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.

When scientists at the FERMI Particle Accelerator unexpectedly discovered a fracture in time that made it possible to construct a portal into primeval history, the bold notion was born to resettle humanity in the past – a second chance to rebuild civilization and get it right this time.

The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet foreboding land. JIM SHANNON (Jason O’Mara, “Life on Mars”), a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family through this new world of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. Jim’s wife, ELISABETH (Shelley Conn, “Mistresses”), is a trauma surgeon and the newest addition to Terra Nova’s medical team.

JOSH (Landon Liboiron, “Degrassi: The Next Generation”) is their 17-year-old son who is angry to leave life as he knows it behind; upon arriving at the settlement, he finds himself instantly drawn to the beautiful and rule-breaking SKYE (Allison Miller, “Kings”). MADDY (Naomi Scott, “Life Bites”), Josh’s endearingly awkward 15-year-old sister, hopes Terra Nova will give her a chance to reinvent herself. Although Elisabeth’s medical training secured the family a spot on the pilgrimage, a secret involving their five-year-old daughter, ZOE (newcomer Alana Mansour), soon endangers their place in this utopia. Upon the Shannons’ arrival, they are introduced to COMMANDER NATHANIEL TAYLOR (Stephen Lang, “Avatar”), the charismatic and heroic first pioneer and leader of the settlement. Taylor warns the travelers that while Terra Nova is a place of new opportunities and fresh beginnings, all is not as idyllic as it initially appears.

Along with blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, the surrounding terrain is teeming with danger – and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. There is also a splinter colony of renegades led by the battle-hardened MIRA (Christine Adams, “TRON: Legacy”), who is vehemently opposed to Taylor and his leadership. Even more threatening than what lies outside the protective walls of the colony is the chilling possibility that something sinister is happening inside Terra Nova.

The Shannons will come to suspect that not everyone on this mission has the same idea of how to best save mankind; in fact, there may be forces intent on destroying this new world before it even begins.
