He was connected to Terra Nova?

 

Also.....why would they restart civilization in the Cretaceous period? Sounds like a horrible idea. Not to mention the Butterfly effect.

Yes, Terra Nova,Smash, Super 8, Deep Impact, Amistad, Men in Black, SeaQuest, The Flinstones Movie, Tiny Toons Adventure, The Money Pit, are all things he is involved in at some level, mostly executive producer.

Just as Lucile Ball was connected to producing the original Star Trek.  It probably wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for her. But that's a good show, so it's different.

"why would they restart civilization in the Cretaceous period?" - Well, the plot evolved that they may or may not be on Earth.  Since it was canceled, I guess we will never know.

It was the biggest budgeted show at the time.  Great special effects, and some talented actors, but just didn't work on many levels like the 'New Bionic Woman.' So many of the sitations were about ego - not stories, character flaws, situations, moral decisions, etc.

There are plenty of super talented people working out there that can pull off good Science Fiction, but you need to understand some science to do it well.  Or at least have some great advisors.  Look at Doctor Who, Torchwood, or the Forward Unto Dawn series.  Even 'The Booth at the End' is a well crafted 'Twilight Zoneish' style story.  They are all very well made.  I think it's ashame they are being pushed asside.
