Ron Livingston and Fox TV Are Defying Gravity
Nov 4, 2008 by Adam Bryant
Fox TV Studios is teaming with several international broadcasters to
produce Defying Gravity, a 13-episode adventure drama series starring Office Space star Ron Livingston.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox will join Canada's CTV,
Germany's ProSieben and the BBC to produce Gravity, a series from
creator/exec producer James Parriott (Grey's Anatomy). The show is set
in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five
different countries who embark on a six-year exploration of the solar
system. The first episode is set to begin production Jan. 19 in
Vancouver.
Gravity follows Mental and Persons Unknown in a string of
independently produced Fox TV Studios series to go into production
with international partners. All three series will have a combined
budget of more than $70 million and will produce 13 episodes. Once
completed, Gravity will be shopped to U.S. networks as a finished product.
This model allows the studio to see more projects through at lower
cost, providing more flexibility and the hope of greater profits ...
