PROJECT Fox’s Harsh Realm (that’s the working title), the latest from The X-Files and Millennium creator Chris Carter (planned for this fall). THE DETAILS It’s based on a sci-fi comic book; gumshoe Dexter Green must track down a kid lost in a computer created "pocket universe"- an idea that came to creator James Hudnall in a dream. " I woke up and started thinking," he recalls, "and pulled all these random thoughts into a story." AT STAKE Realm needs to be bigger than Millennium if Carter is to kick off his $25-30 million Fox pact with a bang. CASTING CONSPIRACY? Buzz casts Nicholas Lea (Alex Krycek on The X-Files) as Green (though Fox says Lea in one of many candidates). And with rumors of Krycek’s demise, Lea might be available. As always with Carter, the truth is out there. - Jeff Jenson
