IGN recently chatted with J.J. Abrams about his upcoming new science fiction series, Fringe.
Abrams chatted about the inspiration for the show. “It was really just Alex Kurtzman, Bob Orci and myself just hanging out and talking about the kind of show we’d love to see on the air. For better or worse, like most of the things I do, it just comes from stuff that I’d love to watch. It’s sort of a boring answer, but that’s kind of what the truth is!”
Abrams goes on to describe the show. “At the core of the show are three very distinct characters – this young woman, who’s an FBI agent; this really eccentric, nutty and until recently institutionalized scientist; and his somewhat troubled and estranged son. [It’s] this trio going up against this very shadowy network of [what are] essentially researchers, who are playing with science and pushing it in ways that are increasingly terrifying. And these three are basically the good guys who try to police them.”
And as for the comparisons to the X-Files? Abrams says that of course he was a huge fan of the show, but these characters are very different. “I would say the characters on our show are incredibly different [from X-Files]. Are they up against crazy, seemingly paranormal and terrifying things, like they were in Night Stalker and in X-Files? For sure.”
