Fox’s ‘Minority Report’ Premiere Date, Trailer, Spoilers: Pre-Crime Shut Down, Precog Dash Teams Up With Det. Laura Vega [Watch]
The Fox network gambled when it signed on for "Minority Report," a television take on Steven Spielberg's 2002 movie of the same name. Max Borenstein's version of "Minority Report" stays true to the original movie's mythology with the help of Spielberg, reports Cinema Blend.
"Minority Report" the TV series is set in Washington, D.C., 10 years after the demise of Pre-Crime, which was shut down at the end of Spielberg's movie. The three precogs have moved on with their lives. A precog named Agatha (Laura Regan) continues to live in solitude. Another named Arthur (Nick Zano) has used his precognitive skill to become a wealthy man. Dash (Stark Sands), the third precog, is haunted by visions of murders, and he desperately wants to stop them because they've hindered his ability to live successfully. Dash meets detective Laura Vega (Meagan Good), and that's when the show's entertaining case-of-the-week begins.
BuddyTV attended the San Diego Comic-Con in July to interview Sands and Good about the show's characters. Watch the video clip below.
"[Dash] was thought of as the weakest [precog] of the group," Sands told BuddyTV. While Agatha can see everything, Dash "only gets the feelings and the emotions and the little glimpses." Arthur sees the names, faces and the facts of the crime.
Dash and Vega have the same mission: to change the world and save lives. Vega feels that she can no longer make a difference since Pre-Crime has been terminated.
A precog's visions may not always be accurate, and as in the movie, the TV series characters will have to determine if a murder is really going to happen.
Good said that Dash will become a fan favorite because "he has this sweet, little boy innocence to him and he hasn't really seen the world yet. He's really witnessing the world for the very first time."
"Even though she [Vega] has a hard exterior and shows this really tough side and is really quick with a zinger and throws shade at Wilmer [Valderrama] every once in a while, she really is soft on the inside. She wants the world to be a better place. It's a wonderful, complicated character and Meagan really nails it," Sands said.
Sands referred to Wilmer Valderrama who plays Will Blake, Vega's newly appointed boss.
Watch the "Minority Report" premiere on Monday, Sept. 21, at 9 p.m. ET on Fox.
