Revision as of 19:44, 17 January 2008 by Kyle Nin (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Fringe is the 4th TV Series co-created by J. J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Lost) and third collaboration with Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (The Transformers, Star Trek, Mission Impossible III, Alias). It is produced by Warner Bros./Bad Robot, and deals with a research scientist named Walter Bishop (who Orci describes as "Frankenstein mixed with Albert Einstein"), his son, and a female FBI agent who brings them back together. The show is being described as a cross between The X-Files, Altered States and The Twilight Zone. Like Abrams' previous TV shows, it will have an overarching mythology. A two-hour, $10,000,000 pilot is being produced, where Walter is in a mental hospital.
On January 17, 2008, it was revealed that Kirk Acevedo, Tomas Arana and Mark Valley would be playing main characters in the pilot episode. Arana will play a special agent for Homeland Security who heads the special Fringe division, which is established to investigate a series of terrorist/paranormal events. Acevedo and Valley will play FBI agents.
