Executive producer Ronald Moore and Fox has a new leading star for their upcoming space-located sci-fi "Virtuality", says HR. The trade reports that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ("New Amsterdam") is staying at Fox as the star of the network's two-hour pilot. Waldau will be joining fellow crew members James D'Arcy, Joy Bryant, Sienna Guillory, Nelson Lee, Omar Metwally and Richie Coster. Ron Moore and Michael Taylor wrote the backdoor pilot, which is being directed by Peter Berg.
Plot Concept: The sci-fi show is set aboard the Phaeton, Earth's first starship, on a 10-year journey to explore a distant solar system. To help the crew endure the long trip, NASA equips the ship with advanced virtual reality modules, allowing them to assume adventurous identities and go anyplace they want. Brit D'Arcy ("Churchill at War") will play the ship's psych officer, who produces the virtual reality shows. Coster-Waldau will play mission commander Frank Pike, a born leader. Bryant is set as Alice Thibadeau, Lee is playing Kenji Yamaguchi, Guillory will portray Rika Goddard, Metwally is set as Dr. Eyal Meyer, and Coster was cast as Jimmy Johnson.
