Created by well-known producer JJ Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Lost), the show has been successfully launched in Toronto, Canada. The show's behind-the-scenes production lineup is unprecedented - in addition to JJ Abrams, the show also invited the Hollywood's golden writer-producer duo of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Transformers, Alias, Star trek, Mission Impossible III). . Gold producer Alex Graves (Journeyman, The West Wing) will also join the show.
The first episode of the show is 90 minutes long and the investment is as high as 10 million US dollars. The subsequent episodes may cost 2 million US dollars per episode. New season drama.
Fringe, created by JJ Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, will bring audiences a new experience of sci-fi mystery that hasn't been seen since the end of "The X-Files". My first impression after reading the script for the first episode (the first draft) was that the lines between sci-fi and reality are very blurred in this show.
In the first episode, an international flight numbered 627 from Hamburg, Germany to Boston, USA, had no signs of life on board when the plane landed at Boston's Logan International Airport. All 147 passengers and crew died mysteriously and horribly - all turned into "liquid" thanks to the spectacular special effects of high investment.
FBI Special Agent Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick) was dispatched to the scene to investigate. Phillip Broyles calls in Boston's local FBI liaison officer Olivia Dunham (Australian actress Anna Torv) and her team -- including the cold-looking but brilliantly intelligent agent Charlie Francis (Kirk Acevedo), Olivia's female assistant Astrid Farnsworth (Jasika Nicole) ) and Olivia's sidekick and secret lover, John Scott (Mark Valley, "Boston Legal"). Phillip Broyles and Olivia had an unhappy past, and in order to work together to solve the case, the two had to put their quarrel aside for the time being. According to intelligence Phillip Broyles has learned, several Middle Easterners will be exchanging suspicious briefcases in a nearby warehouse. Olivia and John quickly found the person they were looking for with "miraculous speed", and "coincidentally" discovered a secret makeshift laboratory (it's a TV show, after all, many details can't be scrutinized...). The other party detonated a bomb that had already been arranged during the escape. John was seriously injured, fell into a coma, and saw his life in danger. To make matters worse, the explosion released an unstable chemical concoction that crystallized John's skin and muscles - gradually becoming a "transparent man". If the situation continued to deteriorate, he would be dead in a few days.
Desperately searching for a solution, Olivia discovers among a trove of FBI documents that John's situation is similar to the research conducted by the genius scientist Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble). Although Dr. Bishop has been dubbed the "contemporary Einstein" and has made some achievements in leading edge technology, he has his own troubles: 17 years ago, since the death of his laboratory assistant in an accident, suspicions began to rise. He conducted human experiments illegally, and felt that his brain was abnormal and put him in a mental hospital. Olivia arrives at the mental hospital, only to be told that only Dr Bishop's son Peter (Joshua Jackson) is eligible to visit him. Although Peter's IQ is 190, which is 25 (165) higher than the legendary Einstein's IQ, but he is hanging around all day, has no fixed occupation, and has low moral standards. He recently got into a lot of gambling debts and fled to Baghdad, the capital of Iraq...Olivia found Peter, and took Peter to see his father, whom he hadn't visited for many years...The son was unwilling to reconcile with the father, and the father also Unwilling to return to the mundane world, and Olivia is even more unwilling to act as the "nanny" for the two, but the three finally "formed" a strange investigation team.
Bionic manipulators, psychedelic drugs, weird cows, dream exchanges, a mysterious organization called "The Pattern", an evil super-consortium, a Prometheus high-tech company far beyond the level of its contemporaries, called "The Pattern" The "Fringe" government secret agency, unexpected traitors, and a breathless ending... All clues are pieced together little by little, and a shocking conspiracy far beyond the incident of Flight 627 gradually emerges, making people feel Excited!
