With the production for Jurassic Park four finally getting the go ahead earlier this year, appetites for a block busting dinosaur series have never been stronger. Luckily for us, Fox has invested a large fortune in a new dinosaur based series that began filming in late 2010. It will now premier around the globe over the next few weeks. This new series is called Terra Nova.
What is Terra Nova?
Terra Nova Production
The series is based on an idea by British writer Kelly Marcel. Alex Graves signed on to direct the pilot. Brannon Braga serves as showrunner.
Australia was chosen after producer Steven Spielberg vetoed Hawaii because he wanted a different filming location from his 1993 film Jurassic Park.
The two-hour pilot was filmed over 26 days in late November to December 2010. It was shot in south-east Queensland, Australia, with locations in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Gold Coast Hinterland. The shoot was plagued by torrential rain and additional material had to be shot in 2011, with a total estimated cost between $10 to $20 million to be amortized over the season. More than 250 sets were constructed. An episode takes eight to nine days to shoot, like most television dramas, but six weeks in post-production, twice the television average. The average episode budget is about $4 million.
Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly stated:
'...this thing is going to be huge. It's going to take an enormous production commitment...'
Let us all hope he is right.

I like scifi and this show has promise. Just hope the storytelling gets stronger...maybe if the dinosaurs ate all the teenagers and their angst, it would improve future storytelling.
