Abrams’ TREK XI / MI:III Team Is On Fox's Sci-Fi Pilot FRINGE!!

Fringe and Cloverfield by ArcherNX01	Oct 4th, 2007 11:35:47 PM
Must the exact corner of JJA's office.
A Scientist? And an FBI agent? Wait, sounds familiar. by s00p3rm4n	Oct 4th, 2007 11:37:38 PM
Shut the fuck up, J.J. Abrams. Seriously? Seriously? As if X-Files didn't exist? Don't tell me, it's "X-Files Babies." Mulder and Scully are hot and in college. In Malibu. And they're sad about things. Then something blows up.
Hey s00p3rm4n, it wasn't a scientist! by Oceanlizard	Oct 5th, 2007 12:01:15 AM
Scully was a medical doctor. No big difference though. You're absolutely right about an X-Files clone. But how many other programs have been cloned...I can't count that high.
mission impossible 3 played like a bad episode of Alias by punto	Oct 5th, 2007 12:03:10 AM

Bones 2?! by therobcat	Oct 5th, 2007 12:13:35 AM
Awesome! I love the first one so much, I'll tune in! Did the clone the Boreanaz?
It Should Be Called "Cringe" by DangerMan	Oct 5th, 2007 12:23:33 AM
Wow. That sounds highly derivative and quickly dashed off with all the references to "X-Files" and "House" and Crichton and Cook. Maybe the crazy main character will be able to revive the dead by licking them and talk to a gun like "Sledge Hammer."
When did 'supernatural' become 'science fiction'? by Negative Man	Oct 5th, 2007 12:30:19 AM
Seriously people! Stories about future science or technology is SCIENCE FICTION! Tales about ghosts, magic, miracles and powers beyond nature are SUPERNATURAL! Sheesh.
Alternate Titles by DangerMan	Oct 5th, 2007 12:45:27 AM
Maybe it should be called "Regarding House" or "What About Bionic?"
I was interested until you said... by chromedome	Oct 5th, 2007 01:08:35 AM
..it is for Fox. If it is any good, they will kill it.
Beyond the Fringe! by knightrider	Oct 5th, 2007 05:23:17 AM
Peter Cook for the Scientist, Dudley Moore for the FBI Agent! (And supporting roles for Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller). Fnar.
The words "sci-fi" and "Fox"... by photoboy	Oct 5th, 2007 05:34:20 AM
... in the same sentence can only mean one thing: cancellation after about 3 episodes.
A scientist and an FBI Agent? And their names will be. by Yeti	Oct 5th, 2007 06:20:34 AM
Data Nully and Fax Modem?
Is there also a mysterious Cigarette-Smoking Man? by SpyGuy	Oct 5th, 2007 07:54:48 AM
I can see the high-concept meeting now..."It's like THE X-FILES, only current and hip with shaky-cam and quick-cut editing. Oh, and emo songs. LOTS of emo songs."
Fox will cancel it by palewook	Oct 5th, 2007 07:59:06 AM
before anyone sees it, so why bother.
Yeti by D_T	Oct 5th, 2007 10:49:20 AM
Nice ReBoot ref :^) (Been meaning to score those on DVD)
Oceanlizard, go back to the ocean you cold-blood fuck. by s00p3rm4n	Oct 5th, 2007 03:14:18 PM
Scully was a medical doctor, congratufuckalations. I put on whole seasons of the show on repeat when I go to bed. In short, I fucking knew that. My point was that she approached everything from the view of a skeptic, trying to understand the impossible through the lens of the scientific. See also every silly Chris Carter monologue Gillian ever spewed. Doctors, to wax philosophical, are practitioners of the medical sciences. Scully called herself a scientist about a bajillion times on the show. Well, a pregnant scientist later. And then she just cried a lot. My original comment was brilliant and true, and the thread basically died after that. The end.
why do people still pitch shows to FOX? by Charlie Murphy	Oct 5th, 2007 04:40:23 PM
is it to see who can come up with the funniest "How soon will FOX cancel it?" remark, because frankly, I think that's getting a little stale.
did you guys read the article? by soup74	Oct 5th, 2007 06:45:20 PM
fox is giving JJ a $10 million dollar budget for the pilot. i sure hope they're considering sticking with this one.
What a hack by lynxpro	Oct 5th, 2007 10:32:45 PM
How about something original? It ain't the X-Files without Mulder, biotches...and this hack restores Chris Carter's credibility in my book.
speaking of Ghost Hunters... by lynxpro	Oct 5th, 2007 10:34:57 PM
Is there any dirt on TAPS? I haven't seen anything really criticizing the guys online and that makes me feel better. I sure hope they are legit and the production team doesn't rig stuff like that moving chair in the light house from a couple of seasons ago.
Does anybody remember Probe? by Mockingbuddha	Oct 5th, 2007 11:20:55 PM
Cause X-Files is totally a clone of that show. I loved the one whe the chimp with the human brain implants went on a killing spree. And the chicks hair was awesome. The eighties rule!
want an X-Files show starring GaryShandling&TeaLeoni by George Newman	Oct 6th, 2007 12:49:25 AM
Or Richard Gere. He'd be a great Mulder. or Skinner.
Probe? by lynxpro	Oct 6th, 2007 01:14:28 AM
Wasn't that on ABC with Parker "Hardy Boys" Stevens and lasted like 6 episodes at best? I fail to see how "The X-Files" ripped that off, Mockingbuddha. The only episode I can even remember had to do with the floating lightning/plasma storms that killed a few people. If you want to focus on obscure/failed ABC shows from the 80s, perhaps J.J. should rip off "Masquerade" and try to pass it off as his own creation instead. Or maybe he should just helm "Automan vs. Street Hawk vs. The Highwayman vs. Manimal". The last two appearing courtesy of NBC Universal, with a revenue share agreement brokered similar to the deal that allowed ABC to reboot Kolchak (and Buena Vista, I want that on Blu-ray!).
I know the plot for the next 3 seasons! by Agent Blue	Oct 6th, 2007 01:17:57 PM
The first season, everything will begin and be spectacular and original and hit the ground running. The second season people will eat up because they want to know what's really going on, but the second season will end with a so-so cliffhanger. During the third season, the show will run itself into the ground with over-the-top storylines and insane character twists. The producers are still in talks to see if the show will limp on into a fourth and fifth season.
He can drain every bit of quality out of this... by The Reef	Oct 7th, 2007 03:16:21 AM
What a promising quote from the Variety article. Mind you, if it is any good it will be cancelled after thirteen episodes and the rest of the plot turned into a movie that will make the studio realise they should have stuck with the series after all...
