Now , casting would appear to be rather complete on J.J. Abrams' Fringe pilot for Fox. Dawson's Creek alum Joshua Jackson — who when last heard from was to visit Grey's Anatomy's Seattle Grace, but... strike happens — will play Peter Bishop, the son of the institutionalized scientist teamed with a female fed (Aussie actress Anna Torv) to investigate unexplained phenomena. Oh, Peter is also a high-school dropout/gambling addict with an IQ of 190.

Filming is now under way in Toronto.

I love JJ Abrams, but this show sounds too X-Files. I hope it's not.

ooh well... i hope this new series is good!

how are they filming with the strike still underway? did they have an independent deal with the WGA or did they break through the picket line?

This sounds interesting, but I hope it doesn't bury itself in conspiracy and mythology like The X Files did.
