Steven Spielberg's Terra Nova Fires Most of Writing Staff
Who knew making a television show about time travel and dinosaurs would be so difficult? Oh, right, everyone. The Los Angeles Times reports that a majority of the writing staff on the Steven Spielberg-produced Terra Nova was let go last week 20th Century Fox Television, though show runner Brannon Braga (24) remains. Despite the staff setbacks, Nova is still on-target to premiere in May 2011 with a two-hour stand-alone pilot, before joining the schedule full-time the following fall. Fingers crossed?

Hey Spielberg, since 8 years old know dinosaurs, why not let THEM write the show? Thye'll be the ones watching anyway...
This series sounds really great! With Dreamworks, Steven Spielberg, time travel, dinosaurs and colonists trying to build a new life in a strange land, how can it go wrong?
I just hope that it doesn't become nothing but a movie of the week!
Spielberg is helming this so that bodes well for the show.
