Spielberg goes back to the dinosaurs

Steven Spielberg gets together with Peter Chernin to help put together the series called Terra Nova. The in-the-works television show follows a family from 100 years in the future who travel back in time 150 million years to the strange and inhospitable environs of prehistoric Earth (Variety). This television project is coming from 20th Century Fox, already mapping it out to become a series more so than a single pilot episode due to the cost of special effects that would come from this particular production.

Only if the project gets green lit would Spielberg and Chernin really latch onto the production as executive producers, though with Chernin that is not entirely certain depending on who else they decide to throw on board. For many people, if this starts chugging along in production, it warrants as another prehistoric-based vehicle that Spielberg has been on since the three Jurassic Park features.
