Abrams' 'Fringe' is Fox benefit


October 05, 2007 After a heated bidding, Fox landed the sci-fi spec by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci with a big series commitment. No one would comment on the terms of the deal, but sources said it includes a budget for the two-hour pilot for about $10 million -- the ballpark of Abrams' two-hour pilot for "Lost" -- as well as an episode license fee close to $2 million. The pact also includes a digital component mirroring the template of WBTV's groundbreaking recent agreement with ABC.
