Forget about Caprica, Ronald Moore is placing his bets on FOX for his next series.
Moore has got FOX (yes the same FRAKIN network that canceled Firefly) to green light a pilot for a new series called Virtuality.
The sci-fi project, from Universal Media Studios and producers Gail Berman and Lloyd Braun, is set aboard the Phaeton, Earth’s first starship, on a 10-year journey to explore a distant solar system. To help the 12 crew members endure the long trip and keep their minds occupied, NASA equipped the ship with advanced virtual reality modules, allowing them to assume adventurous identities and go to any place they want. The plan works until a mysterious “bug” is found in the system.
Remember of course that Moore used to write on Star Trek TNG, home of the holodeck. So now he’s pitching a whole series where the holodeck is the centerpiece of the show.

awesome!! I just hope they make it as good and nostalgic yet revolutionary as star trek:enterprise. Seeeing picard-like adventures where he gets lost in the early 20th century, while fun, becomes old very fast. Though I am confident he will make something original.. hopefully.
