Tonight Fox airs an original movie from Battlestar Galactica’s Ron Moore called, Virtuality. Set aboard the Phaeton, the Earth’s first spaceship, a crew of Earthlings set off on a 10-year exploration journey. To make the looong trip a little more bearable, a system of virtual reality devices are installed so that the crew can entertain themselves by taking on different identities and going on various virtual adventures. But things soon turn dark and the drama flares when their mission suddenly changes and their virtual reality machine breaks down. In a clever twist, the crew's experiences are also broadcast back to Earth as a reality television program called, The Edge of Never. The movie was originally written as a 2-hour pilot script, so if it sees some decent ratings , we may see an upcoming series!
Disney BFFs Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato star in the fun, family film, Princess Protection Program. A military coup in a tiny nation causes their teen princess (Lovato) to flee to the safety of a rural Louisiana town, where she bonds with a loner tomboy (Gomez) and tries to fit in at school until it is safe for her return home. Cute girlfriend moments between the real life besties!
