Series premiere: Based on the international blockbuster film by Steven Spielberg, 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. DASH (Stark Sands, “Inside Llewyn Davis”) is a quiet, idealistic precog secretly living among society, who tries to use his ability to see future murders to save lives by teaming up with the brash, but shrewd, Detective LARA VEGA (Meagan Good, “Think Like A Man” franchise, “Californication”).

Fox’s new futuristic crime drama, MINORITY REPORT, is a follow-up, of sorts, to the 2002 Tom Cruise-led film, but thanks to the nature of television storytelling, the medium will allow the writers to dive deeper into the bigger ethical issues the movie introduced.
“The core of the story is that the film was about pre-crime, and that was an almost Orwellian program, by which we predicted the future, via these three human beings who were used as tools — they were enslaved for this purpose,” MINORITY REPORT creator Max Borenstein told reporters. “And then that ended. And now that that’s over, these three people still have those visions, [but] they’re too dangerous — and too powerful — for any one person to control, and therefore they were set free in anonymity. But if anyone ever found them, they would be in great danger. And as a result, they each have to choose how they’re going to deal with their gifts in this world that has wronged them.”
But it’s complicated by the fact that one of the siblings, Dash, feels a responsibility to not let these warnings go unheard. And when he sets out to fix things, he runs into Detective Vega…who could be the perfect person to help him prevent crimes.

Comments Off on MINORITY REPORT: Wilmer Valderrama and Laura Regan Preview the New Fox Drama
MINORITY REPORT is taking a new look at the crime procedural this fall — the series, which is a continuation of the 2002 Tom Cruise film with the same name follows a “precog,” Dash, who is able to see the future, and is driven by his visions of future crimes to find a way to stop them. He teams up with Detective Vega, who is able to utilize his information, to try and stop the crimes he sees.
But it’s not so simple. Technically, Detective Vega isn’t supposed to be getting help from a precog, and Dash’s siblings (who are also precogs) aren’t wholly on board with his activities.
At Comic-Con, Wilmer Valderrama (who plays Vega’s boss, Will Blake) and Laura Regan (who plays Dash’s sister, Agatha) shared a little bit about their characters…

MINORITY REPORT — a continuation of the 2002 Tom Cruise-led film; in the Fox show, a cop (Meagan Good) teams up with a precog, Dash (Stark Sands), who is able to see the future, to prevent crimes — is expanding its world.
The series added Nick Zano as a new series regular late last month — he’ll play Arthur, the fraternal twin brother of Dash — and at Comic-Con, executive producer Max Borenstein gushed to reporters about the opportunity to do a deep-dive into the twins’ lives.
“The exciting thing for us was being able to say, now we get to explore both of these characters,” Borenstein told reporters in the video below. “Their powers are literally different, and we want to [explore how] it affects them become different people. Dash is haunted by the visions he gets…whereas Arthur gets the names, almost a factual [download].”
Borenstein added that due to Dash’s visions, he would, essentially be “an open wound” and the connection drives him to try and stop the crimes — whereas Arthur is able to keep things at a distance since he’s dealing with more of the factual information.
