According to news, the situation may not be so optimistic. Some sources revealed that this production is "collapsing." The divergence in creation has intensified, and the cost has been spiraling upward. Before the filming of the show officially started, almost 10 million U.S. dollars had been spent.
Let's make a comparison. So far, the first edition of "Lost" is estimated to be between 10 million and 14 million US dollars. And the HBO TV series " Boardwalk Empire " (Boardwalk Empire) directed by Martin Scorsese (Martin Scorsese), who has always been known for his big-hands, is about 18 million U.S. dollars. The first compilation of "Terra Nova" may cost US$20 million per episode-already the cost of a movie. Maybe this TV series will eventually set a new investment record?
It is reported that the production team of "Terra Nova" has been plagued by various problems throughout the summer. Executive producer Peter Chernin withdrew from the crew due to "creative differences", and no one would replace him. In this way, Brannon Braga (Brannon Braga) became the only executive producer to write a screenwriter.
The source also told the media that the crew may have encountered some budgetary problems. Several high-level screenwriters with film backgrounds have been hired to rewrite the script. It is said that their salary is as high as about 200,000 US dollars per week: this is already the salary level for film production.
The crew also had difficulties in selecting actors. The original plans to sign several household stars such as Kevin Bacon (Kevin Bacon) and Kyle Chandler (Kyle Chandler) all failed. They had to switch to the less well-known (and cheaper ones). ) European actors. Jason O'Mara, who has starred in " Life on Mars " (Life on Mars), and Percy Bysshe Shelley Conn, who has starred in " L'amant " ('Mistresses), will play the role Couples seeking a better life for their families. And so far, the most famous actor who joined the show is Stephen Lang, who played Colonel Iron-Blooded in " Avatar " (Avatar), and he played the very inspiring team leader Frank Taylor in the play.
Fox Entertainment Group has officially decided not to renew the "Terra Nova" (Terra Nova). This prehistoric adventure science fiction drama was ruthlessly hacked after only one season of airing, and it also ended months of speculation about whether the drama will return. But the 20th Century company said they would try their best to save the show, and even consider selling it to other TV stations. (It is reported that Fox Entertainment Group had discussed matters related to this show with NBC, but NBC did not take over because it felt that the cost of the show was too high. I don’t know if there are other TV stations that would consider it.)
Although "Terra Nova" still has a very good performance in some aspects, for example, the creative two-hour ending of the play has caused many critics to change their minds, but in the end it is hard to escape the bad luck. The science fiction series " Alcatraz Island " broadcasted by Fox Entertainment Group every Monday .The senior executives don't take the show very seriously.
"Terra Nova" will likely become the highest-rated one in this season's cut series. Its average number of viewers reached 10.1 million. If DVR video replays are added, the show also has a ratings as high as 3.6 among adult audiences.
