Ron Livingston is going from Office Space to outer space in the very near future, says the Hollywood Reporter. The actor will be starring in a new sci-fi 13-episode adventure which has Fox TV teaming up with Canada's CTV, Germany's ProSieben and the BBC. The series, called "Defying Gravity", hails from creator/executive producer James Parriott ("Grey's Anatomy") and executive producer Michael Edelstein. Livingston will be co-starring alongside German actress Florentine Lahme while David Straiton has signed on to direct the first episode of the series, which is slated to begin production Jan. 19 in Vancouver.
Once the series is a finished product, it will shopped around U.S. Networks.
Plot Concept: The story is set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who take on a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.
I'm on board. Love the hard sci-fi solar system stuff.
