Josh News and Updates - Part 18: Josh to return to TV!?

Thanks to Scarlet for this heads up from EntertainmentWeekly.com

Quote:
J.J. Abrams is adding another J.J. to his team: The writer-producer has just cast Joshua Jackson as one of the leads of his new Fox drama, Fringe. Jackson — best known as wise-cracking Pacey from Dawson's Creek — will play a member of a unit investigating sci-fi mysteries; the gang also includes his gifted yet possibly insane scientist dad with whom he clashes (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's John Noble) and an FBI agent (Australian actress Anna Torv). The series, which Abrams has described as similar in spirit to The X-Files, Altered States, and The Twilight Zone, is shooting a two-hour pilot with a reported $10-million-plus budget this month.
Televisionary: Televisionary Exclusive: First Look at FOX's "Fringe" Pilot Script

Quote:
I read Fringe's pilot script with a feverish passion, devouring each and every plot twist and turn. This is a hugely ambitious project and smacks of Kevin Reilly's positive influence over FOX: it's intelligent, controversial, and populist at the same time, filled with memorably abrasive characters, gruesome horror, and tongue-in-cheek humor. It's House meets The X-Files with The Twilight Zone and some of the British series Eleventh Hour thrown into the mix.

More information to come as it becomes available.

Sounds like a good project for Josh to be involved in. I The X-Files so I'm sure I'll enjoy watching it for reasons other than JJ!!!
Also, Josh back on TV on a weekly basis...

Great news! I love Abrams' projects (Lost, Alias, What About Brian), plus he did Cloverfield, MI:3 and the new Star Trek prequel. This show can be a success, plus a major network (Fox.) And Shutter out next month, too. In other news, I guess Josh didn't go to Europe for the Berlinale Film Festival w/ Diane, who is a juror.

I found out that they started shooting in Toronto, this week. Apparently, it's a great script and was all written before the strike. It's also set to have 13 episodes. Yippie!

Yes, Fox gave it a 13-episode commitment sight unseen--which means they have a lot of faith in J.J. Abrams and this project.

Great news! Josh is coming to San Francisco's WonderCom! He'll be promoting his film, SHUTTER and makes an appearance on Sat., Feb. 23rd. I've been wanting to go to this event for awhile now, myself. And I have an even bigger reason to go! If I'm able to attend, I will do my best to share photos and details for you all!

Here are all the details from the WonderCom.com Website:

2:00-3:15 p.m. 20th Century Fox: The X-Files and Shutter

The truth is out there, again-finally! A new motion picture based on the phenomenally popular, award-winning series The X-Files is in production. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson making their first-ever joint convention appearance join director-writer-producer Chris Carter and writer-producer Frank Spotnitz to share their thoughts about the long-awaited film, and answer your questions.

Next, Joshua Jackson, Transformers' Rachael Taylor and Heroes' James Kyson Lee bring you a first look at the new horror/thriller Shutter, from executive producers of The Grudge and The Ring. They'll present special footage and answer your questions about the film, which, through its portrayal of the underground world of spirit photography, reveals that the most terrifying images are the ones that are real. Shutter opens everywhere March 21.

Josh gets to share the stage with Agents Mulder & Scully!

Thanks to Anna for the heads up. What a wonderful venue!
