The hourlong drama centers on a father who discovers his autistic, mute son can actually predict events before they happen.
Kring will executive produce and write. Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope also serve as executive producers.
Touch, from Chernin Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox Television, was developed as a spec script. No director or cast is attached yet.

That sounds stupid.
ReplyDeleteI was actually interested what story did he made this time. I saw it's just recycled Heroes. This guy really is stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnda blonde cheerleader by the name of Buffy fighting vampires doesn't?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, no need to be an ass.
I'm sure he can at least string a coherent sentence together.
ReplyDeleteWhat does Buffy have to do with it? I was just making a statement, everyone is entitled to their opinion its the whole point to the comments section. Ass.
ReplyDeletehmm. lets see if that mute son can predict the cancellation of this show before it happens
ReplyDeleteWell, I would give it a chance based on the fact Heroes season 1 was one of the more compelling TV series recently and I find autism fascinating. To keep watching he would need to prove he learned from his mistakes in Heroes season 2 to 4.
ReplyDeleteGreat another Heroes and another epic fail mr Kring will have brought us. Has he learned his lesson yet?
ReplyDeleteI've a feeling it will be crap. but i'll give it a go for sure. I mean, season 1 of Heroes was one of the best TV seasons ever... it's just 2,3 and 4 were three of the worst lol
ReplyDeleteTo all the cynical posters: honestly, Kring has more experience than any of us. Heroes, overall, was a good show, that took the wrong turn and that concluded in its demise. Kring knows what he's doing, and Fox does as well -- they both like the premise, and they wouldn't take this leap of faith before having read the pilot script.
ReplyDeleteStop judging a show before even a director was cast. Before Lost aired, many people criticized it for being another plane crash show. Look at it now.
He should be banned from the industry after the disgrace of Heroes S3 & 4
ReplyDeleteImagine if people judged LOST by its original trailer and its stuffed animal polar bear toy you could see in freeze frame...
ReplyDeletePersonally I applaud and look forward to any SciFi or soft SciFi show that gets a pilot made since there are so few on TV. Anyone who is a fan of the genre and mocked the concept may want to think of why there are so few on TV... preconceived notions of how a pilot plot sounds is a major reason many do not watch or even want to give any SciFi show a chance.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree, everyone seems to have a hate campaign against Heroes since it has been cancelled, but the first season was one of the best things on tv (certainly the best first season to a show) since, well, Battlestar and Lost were good, but I think Heroes beat them in the season one stakes. If he can make tv like that for a few seasons, then yeah, I'm up for it.
ReplyDeleteHEROES IS THE BEST SHOW EVER.
ReplyDeleteOK, so season 2-4 wasn't that great.. But season 1 is the best thing that has ever happened!
And FYI, this show sounds awesome.
it is fox after all... you'd be pretty safe saying it wouldn't last for more than 1 season.
