Just saw this on comingsoon.net, seems like a very interesting series, whereby Humans travel back in time to the age of Dinosaurs. With Speilberg at the helm, it promises to be a hit (I hope). Have a read and let me know what you think. Let me know if this has already been posted somewhere I didn't know about.

On a sidenote, it seems that the series is being filmed in my home state of Queensland Australia. I hope that the recent floods haven't affected the show in any way, although I believe they should have finished shooting for now since they began in October 2010.

Hmmm I thought we had a thread for this already.. but I guess not.. yeah this was suppose to come out last fall on Fox but was postponed until later this year. There has been lots of production problem plaguing this series.. they just released the first image which wasn't that impressive that's why I didn't post it. But I have high hopes for this series.

I gotta say it looks like the offspring of Jurassic Park and Waterworld.

I wonder if there is a reason they plunk a bunch of humans down in the age of dinosaurs rather than another time period?

Yeah that seems to be the burning question.. why go back so far.. why not go back a few thousands years.. hopefully they will answer this question.

I wasn't expecting that ad either but what a good surprise!

Is this the American response to the the hit British TV show Primeval? Kind of looks like it to me. I'll probably watch it though as it looks fun.

While it has some concepts like Primeval, I think those concepts are far older and pop up every decade or so. Sliders, Quantum Leap, Time Tunnel, that movie Timeline, land of the Lost, even the planet of the Ape remake.


I think it's less of a response to Primeval and more of them doing what they've been doing for the last 50 years or so.
