“Avatar” Star Thinking of Heading to “Terra Nova”
Stephen Lang is in talks to play a major role in the much anticipated “Terra Nova” project from Steven Spielberg. Lang is circling the role of Frank Taylor, the charismatic and ruthless leader of the Terra Nova settlement. The news comes shortly after it was announced that powerhouse executive producer David Fury (”24,” “Lost”) is leaving the series due to “creative differences.” Fury will not be replaced, so showrunner Brannon Braga (”FlashForward,”) will now be the drama’s sole writing executive producer. The other executive producers, Spielberg and Peter Chernin, are remaining in place. “Terra Nova” is set in a dystopian future where humans live in on a dying planet. Jason O’Mara will play Jim Shannon, a father in the year 2149 who travels back in time with his family to the prehistoric era to help colonists rebuild civilization from the ground up.
