Fox Picks Up Ronald D. Moore's Virtuality
The premise of the series will revolve around ten astronauts that set out on a ten-year journey of a nearby solar system. To help pass the time on the ship, NASA has created an advanced virtual reality pod that will allow the astronauts to assume different identities and go on many different adventures. Things go swimmingly until a bug is found in the system.
Universal Media Studios president Katherine Pope stated, "It's very much about what's fantasy and what's reality; what we do to escape our lives and what actually institutes our lives; are these things very different."
The pilot will begin filming this July.

Well, if Braun read Old Twentieth, he left out the immortals and the war in which they murdered most of humanity. He also shortened the voyage by 990 years. But if the hero has a bisexual girlfriend, Joe Haldeman is gonna have a very cushy retirement.
I find it interesting that Braun claims credit for "the idea behind" The Sopranos, Lost, The Nine, and now Virtuality. Good on horning in on the credits?

Yeah I agree, somebody read OLD TWENTIETH and pretty much stole the plot and changed a few names and genders. I mean it even revolves around the VR engineer.
Can you say lawsuit?

Reminds me of OLD TWENTIETH, by Joe Haldeman. A lot.
I'll look forward to talking about it.

This does sound interesting. Glad that it's not another reality show. I've had enough of them already. When I sit in front of my TV at night it's to escape my life for 30-60 minutes and enjoy good programming. Instead I'm stuck watching 12 women make *ssholes of themselves fighting over one man.

Hmm, a new space-travel series? I might check this out. I have to say, last fall there weren't too many new shows that interested me, but there seem to be a lot for next fall. I just hope I don't have to choose.
