Graves will direct the two-hour pilot and come aboard the project as an executive producer. He wraps his work on Journeyman next month.
While I was secretly hoping Abrams would have time post-Star Trek to direct the two-hour pilot for Fringe (you can read my advance review of the pilot script here), I do have to say that Graves is a good choice. Journeyman (and before that, The Nine) had a distinct style to its pilot episode that could meld nicely with the intrigues, explosions, and bruised character interactions of Fringe, which charts the investigation of various paranormal phenomena by a female FBI agent, a mentally unstable scientist, and his estranged son.
Production is set to begin in February on Fringe's $10 million pilot. The project--from Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot--has already received a series commitment from FOX and writers Orci and Kurtzman turned in a script for the pilot before the WGA strike began.
Stay tuned.
