Official DRIVE Press Release from FOX
Posted on November 1, 2006
FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE
"DRIVE" RACES TO FOX THIS SPRING
New Drama Series from Executive Producer Tim Minear ("Firefly," "Angel," "Wonderfalls")
FOX, home of award-winning suspenseful dramas 24 and PRISON BREAK, revs up this spring with the intense new drama series DRIVE from executive producers Tim Minear ("Firefly," "Angel," "Wonderfalls," "The Inside") and Ben Queen.
The next time you're cut off by a crazed driver on your way to work, cut him a little slack. He could be racing for his life.
DRIVE is an action-fueled drama following a diverse group of Americans driving for their lives (or the lives of their loved ones) in a sinister, cross-country road race. Some of them have been coerced into joining The Race; others have sought out The Race themselves, hearing rumors of the $32-million prize. Each has a reason to compete. And each must win.
Among the varied racers are a man thrust into The Race in an effort to find his missing wife; a single mother competing under great strain ... or possibly something much more strange; a buttoned-down scientist and his rebellious 15-year-old daughter; two brothers in a stolen, pimped-out Caddy that carries secrets of its own; and a gorgeous and mysterious female stowaway who may well hold the key to the secrets of The Race.
There are other competitors as well, but when no one is told whom they're racing against, or even where the finish line is, anything is possible. With each mile clocked, the drivers get closer, not only to the finish line and a critical, life-changing victory, but to understanding the mystery behind The Race itself.
Created and executive-produced by Tim Minear and Ben Queen, DRIVE is a 20th Century Fox Television Production. Greg Yaitanes directed and executive-produced the pilot.

It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."

Sounds like a Stephen King story combined with a Richard Bachman story: The Long Walk meets Christine.

The four minutes on the road early in the piece -- one continuous shot which goes from car-to-car -- was about a million dollars. Not that anyone will notice, the Zoic fx are that good.

Yeah, it does sound interesting.
Is he sure Fox wants it though? I mean is he really, really, truly 100% sure?

When is it supposed to actually air?

from what I've gathered, which may not be entirely accurate, this spring, after American Idol. Hopefully the braindead masses will just not change the channel and stay to watch something good.

Well, it's about time we heard an air date!
Jadehand, thanks for the shiny news. Have you heard anything about Tim being called in to work as a consulting producer on Standoff?

I've heard that, I think they're trying to get him to pick it up a bit, sadly, it's nubers haven't been great recently. It's not a bad show, and Gina is great. Maybe Tim can pull her to the front more and make the show rise up a bit. *shrug* He's been working on eps for them, I think the first with his envolvement is after a break.
