Minority Report TV Series News and Updates: TV Series to Serve as Sequel to the 2002 Spielberg Film
Fox has made a pilot commitment to "Minority Report," which will be an adaptation of the 2002 sci-fi Spielberg film. A pilot commitment would mean that Fox will have to pay a heavy penalty if the show doesn't go to pilot, which also guarantees that the show will be picked up.
The series will be under both 20th Century Fox TV and Paramount TV, which were also partners for the 2002 film. This year's Godzilla writer Max Borenstein will be writing the teleplay and also executive producing with Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey of Amblin TV.
Amblin Television has seven series that is currently on five different networks which are Falling Skies and Public Morals on TNT, The Americans on FX, Under the Dome and Extant on CBS, upcoming midseason drama The Whispers on ABC, and the fall drama Red Band Society on Fox.
The upcoming Minority Report television series adaptation will take place 10 years after the events of the film, when in Washington D.C. a division of lawmen known as Precrime used Precogs, people who have mutated to have precognitive abilities, to arrest people before they have even committed the murder. Because of this the city has been free of murder for the past 6 years. Eventually, Precrime was shut down and the 3 Precogs will now try to live a normal human life, to which when the series will take place. One of these precogs is haunted by his visions too which leads him to partner up with a detective who's haunted by her past.
The 2002 film starred Tom Cruise, Collin Farrell, Max von Sydow, Samantha Morton, Peter Stormare and Neal McDonough.
