Spielberg's "Terra Nova"


"Terra Nova", the new TV series from executive producer Steven Spielberg, set in the year 2149 follows the adventures of a group of pilgrims transported 85 million years to prehistoric Earth, through a time portal, airing Fall 2011 :


"...the 'Shannon' family join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to 'Terra Nova', the first colony of humans in a second chance for civilization. 'Jim Shannon' , a devoted father with a checkered past, guides his family, wife "Elisabeth' and children 'Josh' and 'Mandy', through a new land of limitless beauty, mystery and terror. In addition to blue skies, rolling rivers and lush vegetation, Terra Nova offers new opportunities and fresh beginnings to its recent arrivals, but the Shannons have brought with them a 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, as the areas surrounding Terra Nova are filled with dangerous dinosaurs and other prehistoric threats, as well as external forces that may be intent on destroying this new world before it begins..."


"At the core, it is a very emotional show," said series writer Brannon Braga. "It is really about a family surviving in this incredible place, trying to give humanity a second chance. The philosophical crux is, can 'Utopia' be built? Is it possible?"
