andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

We are not generally into the whole sci-fi thing but this show looks pretty good. It should be considering it’s the same team who came up with Grey’s Anatomy. Defying Gravity follows a group of eight young astronauts on a six year space mission. There is comedy, politics and some romance (leave it to Jordan to focus on sex, even when it’s in outer space). We sat down with Laura Harris who is one of the stars of Defying Gravity. Check out the show airing on CTV and ABC sunday evenings.

Ron Livingston is about to take relationship drama to new heights, literally.

The “Sex and the City” and “Band of Brothers” actor will star in “Defying Gravity,” a new 13-episode series that follows eight astronauts in the near future as they take a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.

German actress Florentine Lahme has also been cast in “Gravity.”

Vancouver’s Omni Film Productions is partnering with CTV and Fox Television Studios for the series, which will air in Canada on CTV and Space.

Canadian television director David Straiton (”House”) will direct the first episode of the show, which is scheduled to begin production Jan. 19 in Vancouver.
