Terra Nova hasn’t even shot a pilot yet, but thanks to the participation of executive producer Steven Spielberg it has loads of advanced buzz and a place on the Fox mid-season schedule. Now — finally — it has an actor. Jason O’M ara — most recently of Life on Mars fame — is in talks to play the lead on Terra Nova , a man who travels back to prehistoric time with his family to participate in a project designed to give humanity a second chance at building a civilization. Which probably reads as “blah blah blah” until you remember that there will be dinosaurs. So, win. [ Deadline ]
