"Lost" creator JJ Abrams is at the helm of the new FOX program "Fringe" -- a sci-fi drama that is said to combine "elements of "The X-Files" and Paddy Chayefsky's "Altered States" with what Abrams calls 'a slight 'Twilight Zone' vibe.'" It will focus on a crazy research scientist, his estranged son and a female FBI agent who brings them together to check out self-contained mysteries of the paranormal.
Above is one of five ads released this week to begin hyping the show. In addition, Pacey from "Dawson's Creek," better known as Joshua Jackson, has been tapped as the lead in "Fringe" whose premier episode is said to of cost $10 million. Pacey, I'm sorry, Joshua is also in production on a prequel to the cult classic "Fletch" where he plays a young version of the investigative reporter on his first assignment.
Stubb & Flask have placed JJ Abrams, his production arm Bad Robot and "Fringe" on hold for the time being. "Lost" has become a chore to watch and the last series Abrams brought to market (Six Degrees) tanked like a Lindsay Lohan album. Plus, it seems like Abrams might have his hands full with upcoming big budget film releases such as "Star Trek," "The Invisible Woman," and a sequel to "Cloverfield" that is sure to make epileptics quite happy.
