Fox TV Develops SF Gravity
Fox TV Studios has teamed with Canada's CTV, Germany's ProSieben and the BBC for Defying Gravity, a 13-episode SF adventure drama series starring Ron Livingston, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gravity, from creator and executive producer James Parriott (Grey's Anatomy) and executive producer Michael Edelstein (Desperate Housewives), is set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who take on a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system. German actress Florentine Lahme also has been cast.
David Straiton has signed on to direct the first episode of the series, which is slated to begin production Jan. 19 in Vancouver, Canada.
Gravity marks the third independently produced Fox TV Studios series to go into production this year with international broadcasting partners.
Fox will be shopping Gravity to the U.S. networks as a finished product. Having strong international presales gives it the flexibility and relatively low threshold of a U.S. license fee that would make the series profitable.
Jag tycker det liknar Stargate Universe. Men den här utspelas i en nära framtid, Universe kommer precis som sina föregångare utspela sig i nutiden.
