Most of you have probably read or at least heard about the Shannara trilogy, written by Terry Brooks. The first book, The Sword of Shannara, was published back in 1977, and the first episode of the upcoming The Shannara Chronicles TV series is going to air in January of next year.
Produced by MTV, the TV series stars Ivana Baquero, Manu Bennett, Austin Butler, John Rhys-Davies, Emelia Burns, and Poppy Drayton.
We haven’t seen much about the Shannara adaptation ever since the release of the Nycc official trailer in October, but now we have two new videos. Despite the fact they are really short, there are one or two very intriguing scenes which are worth watching. But there are also words worth hearing:
"The events leading us to this moment have been unfurling for centuries. We share a destiny, a greater purpose and the sooner you accept that, the better.

Terra Nova Canceled. Fox Network has canceled the freshman sci-fi TV show series after its thirteen episode first season. I am not surprised by this at all. I lost interest after the series after the three episode after I realized the main characters were destined to get out of every jam they got into.
In addition the series plot holes were ridiculous. From the first episode: Dr. Elisabeth Shannon (Shelley Conn) sneaks into a prison a metal hand laser. No one checked her? She was able to get that through metal detectors? Even if her husband Jim Shannon (Jason O’Mara) cut his way out of his cell, then what? He is still in prison. The cells were idiotic looking and they just happened to let people freely pass things to one another. That was convenient.
One more thing on the laser front: if small, portable lasers are out in the public,...

It’s been well known to those of us following the buildup to the network premiere of Terra Nova that the cast roster wasn’t complete as we knew it, and Fox proved that this week by announcing the addition of some new cast members: Simone Kessell, Ashley Zukerman, and Emilia Burns. All three newbies are Australian, by the way. Please see our updated cast bios section for more information on these actors and join the Terra Nova Forums to talk about them.
Simone Kessell is joining Terra Nova as Alicia Washington, who The Hollywood Reporter says is billed as being second-in-command to Stephen Lang’s Commander Taylor, which makes her de-facto next in line as far as colony authority. Kessell is no stranger to the small screen, having had previous parts on Fringe, CSI: Miami, Reaper and other shows. Her character is said to be a “major player” on Terra Nova,...

Emelia Burns is an Australian actress best known for her small screen roles homeland. Emelia was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1982; her mother is a native of the African nation of Ghana, and her father is from Scotland. Ms. Burns’ first theatrical appearance was in the 2007 movie The Condemned, where she played Yasantwa, a condemned prisoner destined to compete in the movie’s eponymous fictional human hunting web-based television show. Burns’ performance in The Condemned earned a great deal of critical acclaim and led to more opportunities in Australian film and television, notably her leading and recurring roles in H20: Just Add Water (a popular Australian teen show), Sea Patrol, and The Elephant Princess.
In the Us she will be recognized for her part as Mudawa in the witty and insightful series, The Starter Wife, starring Deborah Messing. She also appeared in the horror flick Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.

A major player has been added to the new Fox dino-drama, Terra Nova, as New Zealander Simone Kessell joins the time-traveling refugees as Alicia Washington.
The pilot had to be reshot, according to the latest from Deadline, with Kessell in the role of Washington, the Terra Nova colony’s second-in-command.
It takes the right type of person to stand out against Steven Lang, who plays compound commander Frank Taylor, but Kessell, with appearances on Fringe, Reaper, Underbelly, and CSI: Miami, is no stranger to the small screen so she should be able to hold her own.
Kessell isn’t the only new member of the Terra Nova team either, with Ashley Zukerman and Emelia Burns also joining the cast.
Terra Nova won’t be showing up until Fall but you can get a pretty good feel for what’s in store for you by checking out the promo art and the preview trailer,...

Fox’s Terra Nova has cast Ashley Zukerman (The Pacific) and Emelia Burns (The Elephant Princess) as recurring characters according to The Hollywood Reporter. Zukerman plays Lucas, a major character that is “mysterious and enigmatic” and has a connection to Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang). You can expect to see him in four episodes of the show beginning halfway through the first season. I’m not sure what his connections to Taylor are but, more likely than not, they’re sinister in nature, although Lang came off as a good guy to me even if he is a bit rough around the edges. He could be someone from Taylor’s past who knows toe curling secrets about him.
As for Burns, she will be playing one of Taylor’s soldiers named Reilly. She doesn’t seem to be as important as Zukerman’s character.

Ashley Zukerman and Emelia Burns, both Australian actors, will appear in recurring roles on Terra Nova. Both actors will play roles connected to Stephen Lang‘s character, Cmdr. Taylor.
Burns will play a soldier named Reily under Taylor’s command, while Zukerman will play Lucas a mysterious character who is also connected to Taylor. We know that Commander Taylor has a wife who died, and an estranged son. Could Lucas be that son?
