TERRA NOVA-Vorgucker im Mai

Ste­ven Spiel­berg und Bran­non Braga sind nur zwei der Na­men die mit dem Fox-Projekt TERRA NOVA ver­bun­den sind. Es gab schon Be­den­ken, ob das wirk­lich rea­li­siert wird, als Fox den Start­ter­min um ein hal­bes Jahr nach hin­ten ver­schob, aber nun gibt es eine of­fi­zi­elle An­kün­di­gung, dass man im Mai ein zwei­tei­li­ges Pre­view aus­strah­len wird. Die ei­gent­li­che Se­rie star­tet dann im Herbst 2011.

85 Mil­lio­nen Jahre in der Ver­gan­gen­heit soll die Men­scheit ge­ret­tet wer­den…

Hier die Pres­se­mit­tei­lung:

New fa­mily adventure-drama se­ries TERRA NOVA will pre­view du­ring a spe­cial two-night event Mon­day, May 23 (9:00–10:00 PM ET/PT) and Tu­es­day, May 24 (9:00–10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

The show will then pre­miere in the fall.

An epic fa­mily ad­ven­ture 85 mil­lion years in the ma­king, TERRA NOVA fol­lows an or­di­nary fa­mily em­bar­king 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, over­crow­ded and over­pollu­ted. With no known way to re­verse the da­mage to the pla­net, sci­en­tists dis­co­ver a por­tal to pre­his­to­ric Earth. This door­way leads to an ama­zing world, one that al­lows for a last-ditch ef­fort to save the hu­man race…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 for­bid­ding land led by its foun­der COM­MAN­DER NA­THA­NIEL TAY­LOR (Ste­phen Lang, Ava­tar). JIM SHAN­NON (Ja­son O’Mara, Life on Mars), a de­vo­ted fa­ther with a che­cke­red past, gui­des his fa­mily – wife ELI­SA­BETH (Shel­ley Conn, Mist­res­ses); and child­ren JOSH (Lan­don Li­bo­iron, De­grassi: The Next Ge­ne­ra­tion), MADDY (Naomi Scott, Life Bi­tes) and ZOE (new­co­mer Alana Man­sour) – through this new land of li­mit­less be­auty, mys­tery and ter­ror.

In ad­di­tion to blue skies, tower­ing wa­ter­falls and lush ve­ge­ta­tion, TERRA NOVA of­fers new op­por­tu­nities and fresh be­gin­nings to its re­cent ar­ri­vals, but the Shan­nons have brought with them a fa­mi­lial se­cret that may threa­ten their ci­ti­zenship in this uto­pia. These ad­ven­tu­rers soon dis­co­ver that this he­althy, vi­brant world is not as idyl­lic as it in­iti­ally ap­pears. The areas sur­roun­ding TERRA NOVA are tee­ming with dan­ger – and not just of the man ea­ting di­no­saur va­riety. 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.
