Hurmoth Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 ^ Very uplifting review. Eager to see the pilot :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJenkins Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This show looks quite awesome. Hopefully Fox will actually give it a chance and not cancel it after 5 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm curious as to why Fox picked this show up and not ABC. Abrams has already had two highly successful shows on ABC (Alias and Lost). I wonder if Abrams decided to only pitch it to Fox or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the other day, maybe he feels that Fox is gonna be a better network for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eLeM Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I thought that the other day, maybe he feels that Fox is gonna be a better network for it. From the original post, FOX won a bidding war for "Fringe" back in early October, giving a series commitment to the science fiction-inflected thriller and signing on for an ambitious pilot budget in the $10 million range, according to the industry trade papers. I think that's why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted May 26, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yeah but it just seemed strange they put it around as Abrams likes ABC (Six Degrees, Lost, Alias etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurmoth Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 I'm shocked ABC didn't fight. I mean, Lost must have brought in more than enough cash to justify fighting Fox for the show. Oh well, I doubt it will hurt Fringe, I was just curious about that. I still look forward to seeing the pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted June 13, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 13, 2008 Abrams' TV 'Fringe' gets comic book prequelThe hip media empire of J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Cloverfield, the next Star Trek film) expands into comic books this fall when DC Comics offers a prequel to his upcoming TV series on Fox, Fringe. Writers and artists are being decided, but DC says the comic version will hit the stands on Aug. 27, two weeks before the two-hour premiere airs on Sept. 9. Speculation about the show is building at online fan sites amid word that the opener involves paranormal investigators looking into the mysterious landing of a jetliner with dead passengers. Sounds like a certain island, but the producers say the show will feature self-contained stories, ? la Twilight Zone or X-Files, rather than one fantastic saga. Abrams is joined as executive producers on the project by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, who also are working on the Star Trek reboot film expected in 2009.

Rappy Veteran Posted June 14, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 14, 2008 A DVD screener of the pilot has been leaked. Most the shows who have their pilots leak last year got cancelled, its a sad fact :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keito Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Most the shows who have their pilots leak last year got cancelled, its a sad fact :(I happen to have "acquired" said pilot and just finished watching it - they better not cancel this show! The pilot is really really promising - to be honest, it's the best Abrams has done if you ask me.I won't spoil anything here, but the pseudo-science in the pilot is just awesome and I'm really a big fan of that, so for me that's really great news. Also the suspense and everything is just spot on. If you ask me, this show is better that all those shows last year which got cancelled (Jericho etc.).

The pilot is really really promising - to be honest, it's the best Abrams has done if you ask me. That's because you haven't seen Lost. :p lol I'm looking forward to this show too.

It's still not even clear what direction they're going in, that's the beauty of the series. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
