Moore Reveals more Virtuality Details

Uber sci-fi TV producer Ron Moore recently spilled more details about his upcoming Virtuality, his new sci-fi show for FOX, that would star former New Amsterdam leading man Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The pilot, set to be directed by “Hancock’s” Peter Berg, is set to shoot at the end of next month, according to Moore, who also promises that this will be very “different” from his stint on Battlestar Galactica. So, uh, Ron, I won’t have to run to the showers after every episode? Fabulous!

Moore says more to Sci Fi Wire:

“The public and private consortium that put this mission together gave the astronauts virtual-reality headsets that allow them to relax … in their off hours, and, sure enough, things start going wrong, and they start wondering what’s really going on, and certain strange mysteries start occurring,” Moore said. “And yet these people are isolated and trapped, just with each other, a very, very long way from home and beyond anyone’s help, and they have really only themselves to deal with the strange things that are happening on the ship.”

Okay, I can deal with “consortium” conspiracy angles, I just hope this thing isn’t as frakkin’ depressing as Battlestar Galactica. Seriously, if I want to watch something so utterly devoid of light like the current BSG show, I’ll just turn off the TV and go outside my house.
