Fox gave the go ahead
to the Minority Report series based on Steven Spielberg's 2002 film of the same
name, which in turn was based on a Philip K. Dick short story of the same name.
Spielberg's Amblin TV
is producing the series, with Spielberg himself said to be involved in the
developing of the sci-fi drama.
The pilot was
directed by Mark Mylod (Entourage, Shameless, Backstrom, Game of Thrones), who
will executive produce the series.
Based on the
international blockbuster film by executive producer Steven Spielberg and the
first of his films to be adapted for television, MINORITY REPORT follows the
unlikely partnership between a man haunted by the future and a cop haunted by
her past, as they race to stop the worst crimes of the year 2065 before they
happen.
Set in Washington, D.C., it is 10 years after the demise of Precrime, a
law enforcement agency tasked with identifying and eliminating criminals…before
their crimes were committed. To carry out this brand of justice, the agency
used three precogs – “precognitives” Dash, Arthur and Agatha – who were able to
see the future. Now, in 2065, crime-solving is different, and justice leans
more on sophisticated and trusted technology than on the instincts of the
precogs.
Precog DASH (Stark Sands, “Inside Llewyn Davis”) – driven by his
terrifying, but fragmented visions – now has returned in secret to help a
brash, but shrewd, police detective, LARA VEGA (Meagan Good, “Think Like A Man”
franchise, “Californication”), attempt to stop the murders that he predicts.
As they navigate this future America, they will search for Dash’s
missing twin brother, ARTHUR, and elude others who will stop at nothing to
exploit their precog abilities. Also complicating matters is Dash and Arthur’s
ingenious, but reclusive, foster sister, AGATHA (Laura Regan, “Mad Men,”
“Unbreakable”), who just wants Dash to return home.
A drama of crime and conspiracy, this is a timeless story of connection:
two lost souls, Dash and Vega, who find friendship, purpose and redemption in
each other.
