Ron Moore’s Pilot For Spaceship Series VIRTUALITY Rocketing To Fox’s Friday Death Slot!!
I am – Hercules!!
Fox just announced that it will broadcast the two-hour sci-fi pilot for “Virtuality,” co-created by “Battlestar Galactica” mastermind Ronald D. Moore, in its June 26 Friday Death Slot.
The move does not bode well for the prospects of a resulting series, which was not mentioned during the netlet’s 2009-2010 schedule announcements last month.
Look! Press release!
THE CREW OF THE PHAETON EMBARKS ON A 10-YEAR JOURNEY THROUGH OUTER SPACE TO SAVE THE EARTH IN THE ORIGINAL SCIENCE-FICTION THRILLER "VIRTUALITY" FRIDAY, JUNE 26, ON FOX

The crew of the Phaeton is approaching the go/no-go point of their epic 10-year journey through outer space. With the fate of Earth in their hands, the pressure is intense.

It's the perfect stress-reliever until they realize a glitch in the system has unleashed a virus on to the ship. Tensions mount as the crew decides how to contain the virus and complete their mission. Meanwhile, their lives are being taped for a reality show back on Earth in the World Broadcast Premiere of VIRTUALITY airing Friday, June 26 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (FM-0904) (TV-TBA)
