The blockbuster hit “Minority Report” is coming to television! Yes, the Steven Spielberg-produced film has been adapted for television and will air this fall on FOX. The futuristic drama series will star veteran actress Meagan Good, as a cop troubled by her past, and actor Stark Stash. As they both are conflicted with the future and the past, it’s 2065 and they strike out on a mission to put an end to crimes prior to them happening. We’ve seen Meagan Good in various film and television projects, but this may be one of her most critical-to-date. Not only is she starring in this science fiction adaptation, but this is a film that grossed over $358 million in the box office. There’s a lot at stake here. It is obvious that FOX is looking to follow suit in casting a Black women in a leading role. That’s apparently the “thing” nowadays. But, can she pull it off? Some will say Meagan Good’s acting ability has enough versatility that the role of Vega is ideal for her. However, the goal of the network is to make the series exciting enough for viewers to tune in week to week. Meagan’s fan base will have to support this project just as much as they support others like “Scandal” and “Empire” in order for this to work for her. Synopsis: The future is coming. Based on the international blockbuster film by executive producer Steven Spielberg and the first of his films to be adapted for television, MINORITY REPORT follows the unlikely partnership between a man haunted by the future and a cop haunted by her past, as they race to stop the worst crimes of the year 2065 before they happen. Set in Washington, D.C., it is 10 years after the demise of Precrime, a law enforcement agency tasked with identifying and eliminating criminals…before their crimes were committed. To carry out this brand of justice, the agency used three precogs – “precognitives” Dash, Arthur and Agatha – who were able to see the future. Now, in 2065, crime-solving is different, and justice leans more on sophisticated and trusted technology than on the instincts of the precogs. Precog DASH (Stark Sands, “Inside Llewyn Davis”) – driven by his terrifying, but fragmented visions – now has returned in secret to help a brash, but shrewd police detective, LARA VEGA (Meagan Good, “Think Like A Man” franchise, “Californication”), attempt to stop the murders that he predicts. As they navigate this future America, they will search for Dash’s missing twin brother, ARTHUR, and elude others who will stop at nothing to exploit their precog abilities. Also complicating matters is Dash and Arthur’s ingenious, but reclusive, foster sister, AGATHA (Laura Regan, “Mad Men,” “Unbreakable”), who just wants Dash to return home. A drama of crime and conspiracy, this is a timeless story of connection: two lost souls, Dash and Vega, who find friendship, purpose and redemption in each other. “Minority Report” is produced by 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Amblin Television. The cast includes Meagan Good as Vega, Stark Sands as Dash/Arthur, Wilmer Valderrama as Will Blake, Daniel London as Wally, Laura Regan as Agatha, Li Jun Li as Akeela, Zhane Hall as Rico. Executive producers include Max Borenstein, Kevin Falls, Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, and Mark Mylod; written by Max Borenstein and Mark Mylod. Directed by Mark Mylod. “Minority Report” will air on Mondays this fall at 9:00pm ET/PT.
