Steven Spielberg Copying James Cameron With Terra Nova?

Steven Spielberg is definitely coming to Fox.

When the network rolled out its midseason lineup, there was Terra Nova, right at the top of the roster – an action series set in prehistoric times, following a family that ventures back in time to save all of humanity

It all sounds well and good – ensuring that Spielberg will be able to break out the dinosaurs on a planetary scale, even as the tension is ratcheted up with the involvement of “24” writers Brannon Braga and David Fury. But yesterday, even as the THR reported the involvement of a designer who worked on Avatar, the network released this concept art (above), which, yes, looks an awful lot like Avatar.

Maybe that’s just a testament to how well James Cameron visualized an entire fictional world. Or maybe it’s proof that the Avatar influence is going to be with us for years to come – in ways that we fully haven’t comprehended. Either way, it sort of looks like we’ve done this before.

There are some mountains that don’t float, and terradactyls… looks prehistoric to me, not really “avitarstoric.” I think you’re stretching this whole Cameron invented the wilderness theory of yours.

I know everyone thinks it looks really pretty to have tons of water falling off the TOPS of the mountains, but really, you don’t get that kind of volume until you’re much farther downslope. It takes lots of horizontal area to accumulate rainfall in that kind of quantity.

I think I heard Bob Ross say that one time. OMG. What I would give to have a Pandora rendering by Ross. (Nerdgasm)

How exactly, even with lower gravity, does a mountain “float”?

“Avatar” is so over the top ridiculous I will never see it (I never watched “Titanic” either!)
