Fox has released a full-length trailer for its Steven Spielberg-produced time travel adventure series “Terra Nova.” The show follows the Shannon family as they’re sent back to The Land of the Lost prehistoric times to escape present day doom on Earth.

Peep it:

The show’s synopsis in-a-shell reads:

TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in doubt, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.

The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land. Upon the Shannon’s arrival, they are introduced to Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang), the charismatic and heroic first pioneer and leader of the settlement.

Along with blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, the surrounding terrain is teeming with danger – and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. There is also a splinter colony of renegades led by the battle-hardened MIRA (Christine Adams), who is vehemently opposed to Taylor and his leadership.

Even more threatening than what lies outside the protective walls of the colony is the chilling possibility that something sinister is happening inside Terra Nova. The Shannons will come to suspect that not everyone on this mission has the same idea of how to best save mankind; in fact, there may be forces intent on destroying this new world before it even begins.

“Terra Nova”stars Jason O’Mara (Resident Evil: Extinction), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Shelley Conn (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Allison Miller (Blood: the Last Vampire), Landon Liboiron (Altitude), Christine Adams (Tron: Legacy) and Naomi Scott (“Life Bites”).

The series is set to premiere in the fall on Fox.

Saoirse Ronan, the 17-year-old star of director Joe Wright’s exceptional teen assassin actioner Hanna, has been cast as the lead in Inferno Entertainment’s big screen adaptation of “Twilight Saga” author Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel “The Host.”

The Host centers on an alien invasion of human minds. Ronan will play Melanie Stryder, a young woman whose thoughts of love make it impossible for her extraterrestrial body-snatcher to seize control of her thoughts.

Writer/director Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) penned the film’s script and is a strong contender to helm the project being that he was previously attached to do so before stepping down to direct the Amanda Seyfried/Justin Timberlake/Olivia Wilde sci-fi thriller Now.

Ronan’s creds include the 2008 sci-fi fantasy City of Ember and Peter Jackson’s 2009 adaptation of author Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones.

“30 Rock” star Katrina Bowden has netted a role in Dimension Films’ new fish-&-chicks frightener Piranha 3-DD. The insanely hot 22-year-old joins a cast that includes Danielle Panabaker (The Crazies), Meagan Tandy (Unstoppable), Gary Busey (Predator 2) and a bevy of nameless, top-heavy starlets.

Directed by John Gulager (Feast 1-3) and written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (Saw 4-7), Piranha 3-DD is set at a popular water park during summer. Shooting on the film began exactly a week ago in Wilmington, NC.

Bowden, who was voted this year’s Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire readers, has starred in director Eli Craig’s still-in-distribution-limbo hillbilly-horror-comedy Tucker and Dale VS. Evil and the 2009 home-video slasher The Shortcut.

Laura Vandervoort, best known as Supergirl on “Smallville” and alien-vistor Lisa on “V,” has been cast in “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane’s supernatural comedy—and feature film debut—Ted. The 26-year-old stunner joins a cast that includes Mark Wahlberg and fellow hotties Mila Kunis and Jessica Stroup.

Ted tells the tale of a man (Wahlberg) whose childhood Christmas wish for his teddy bear (MacFarlane) to come to life and be his best friend not only happens, but proves to be disastrous 25-years later when the bear has grown into a full-blown degenerate.

Vandervoort has been cast as Tanya, a gorgeous salesgirl who doesn’t know she’s gorgeous and works alongside Wahlberg’s character at a car rental service. Additional costars include Joel McHale (”Community”), Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar), and Patrick Warburton (Men in Black 2).

Universal Pictures plans to unleash Ted in theaters on July 13, 2012.

Costars include Carice Van Houten (Black Death), Kerry Fox (Shallow Grave) and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds).

Now that Mickey Rourke has publicly shat on Mitch Glazer’s supernatural romancer Passion Play, Image Entertainment has reconfigured its marketing efforts to appeal to a more specialized audience: penises between the ages of 18-to-39.

A featurette for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes has hit the web. The clip features director Rupert Wyatt explaining his take on the Planet of the Apes story and provides a peek at concept art and James Franco’s awesome hair.

Dylan McDermott is heading back to the small screen in his most promising series since David E. Kelly’s Emmy-winning legal drama “The Practice.” The 49-year-old actor has been cast as therapist Ben Harmon in angry homosexual and “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy’s new FX pilot “An American Horror Story.”

The pilot episode, written by Murphy, follows Ben and his wife Vivien (Connie Britton) as they arrive in San Francisco and try to make nice with nosy neighbor Constance (Jessica Lange), her creepy Down Syndrome daughter, and burn victim Larry the Burn Guy (Denis O’Hare).

McDermott’s genre creds include the Pang Brothers’ supernatural frightener The Messengers, Richard Stanley’s cyborg thriller Hardware, and 1992’s truly horrific outing Jersey Girl.

Spanish actress Alexandra Jimenez is reuniting with her Spanish Movie director Javier Ruiz Caldera to shoot a supernatural comedy entitled Ghost Graduation. The film is Caldera’s sophomore effort and is produced by the folks behind Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful.

Ghost Graduation follows crappy high school teacher Modesto as he attempts to help five troubled spirits earn their diplomas so they can move on to the next life. Costars so far include Raul Arevalo, who starred in the Antonio Banderas directed drama Summer Rain, and TV star Ana Fernandez.

Jimenez is best known internationally for her role of Africa Sanz in the Spanish sitcom “Los Serranos.” The 31-year-old looker also starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in Caldera’s hit 2009 horror spoof Spanish Movie.

Ghost Graduation goes into production in June.

Actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson, best known for her turn as nurse Debbie Hurst on ABC’s short-lived sci-fi mystery series “FlashForward,” is stepping into (and most likely out of) Slave Naevia’s robes on season two of Starz’ hit series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”

Robinson inherits the role from fan fav Lesley-Ann Brandt, who announced back in February that she was leaving the show to secure a recurring role on the CBS crime procedural “CSI: NY” and to pursue other endeavors.

“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” is the second high-profile project Robinson has landed. In September, she will star opposite Zoe Saldana in producer Luc Besson’s latin-flavored revenge thriller Colombiana.
