--------------------------------
Fox has picked up to series J.J. Abrams' "Fringe," about
a young female FBI agent who tackle cases involving
unexplained medical and scientific phenomena, re****ts
Variety.
Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros. TV produced a
two-hour pilot for "Fringe," which was written by
frequent Abrams' collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto
Orci and directed by Alex Graves.
The series' cast includes Anna Torv, Mark Valley and

From various re****ts it's really just an X-File "remake", but at least
they had the decency to change the name, although it's probably just
because the couldn't get the legal rights.
