The premiere of Steven Spielberg’s time-traveling Fox dinosaur adventure “Terra Nova,” originally targeted for midseason then delayed until May 23, has been delayed again.
The premiere is now headed to autumn.
Fox Entertainment president Kevin Reilly blames the series’ ambitious special effects.
Jason O’Mara (the ABC version of “Life On Mars”) and Shelley Conn (Princess Pondicherry in “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) star in "Terra Nova" as the Shannons, a couple who take their three kids and use a hole in time to escape from Earth’s ecologically ravaged future into the dinosaur era.
“Terra” also stars Alison Miller (“Kings”) and Stephen Lang (“Avatar”) as a pair of humans who have been living in the Cretaceous era longer than the Shannons.
Brannon Braga, co-creator of “Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Threshold” and the TV version of “FlashForward,” is series showrunner.
Spielberg, who also has TNT’s sci-fi drama “Falling Skies” this year, is one of "Terra Nova's" many executive producers.
