Spielberg To Send WWII
Dudes Up To The Future!!

Merrick here...
Steven Spielberg is developing two projects for Fox Televison. One is about the fashion industry, which is of absolutely no interest to me. This means the show will undoubtedly be super-phenomenally great. The other project...the other project sounds pretty cool.

Untitled show will revolve around two young American physicists in WWII who discover a way to pinch time and travel to the future. They wind up hopping between 2007 and the 1940s in order to aid the war effort -- but in the process begin to upset the space-time continuum. Along the way, one of the physi-cists also enlists a woman in 2007 to help him adjust to culture shock, and the two develop a relationship.

...says THIS ARTICLE IN VARIETY. Anyone remember GALACTICA 1980? Am I woefully mistaken, or didn't that series involve a renegade Galactican deciding that modern Earth wasn't prepared for a Cylon attack...so he traveled back in time from 1980 to World War II to reshape history/tech advancements...thus forcing forward a more advanced culture in 1980? This feels similar (and, yes, no matter what they do, this will be better executed. Wouldn't take much). A fascinating subject matter to be sure; all kinds of moral/ethical implications be explored. World War II & its modern influence (and vice versa) have been a source of endless intrigue to me (if THE FINAL COUNTDOWN had been brave enough to allow the Nimitz to prevent Pearl Harbor & potentially erase itself in the end...how cool would that have been?) If anyone out there knows more, please E-MAIL ME!!!
