Steven Spielberg has a thing for aliens. Once upon a time that was great, and it resulted in such classic films as Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. More recently, though, it has resulted in that horrible War of the Worlds remake and whatever the heck that was which he helped Lucas do to Indiana Jones.
Soon he'll take his beings from outer space obsession to TNT, where they've already approved 10 episodes and we'll hope for a return to better days, days when Spielberg pushed the sci-fi genre to the limit rather than nuking the fridge. This new series doesn't have a title yet but it does have Noah Wyle, a photo, and an official plot synopsis. Here's all three:
The series opens shortly after aliens have wiped out most of the human population. The aliens are now rounding up the few people left, but they are met with strong resistance from a group of soldiers and civilians who fight for their survival – all while struggling to maintain their humanity.
Wyle plays Tom Mason, a former college history professor who becomes the reluctant leader of one of the resistance groups. Also starring in the series are Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation; Drew Roy (Lincoln Heights) as Hal and Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom’s two sons; Jessy Schram (Crash) as Karen, who is one of the survivors’ motorcycle scouts; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group’s commissary.
