'Minority Report' Release Date, Spoilers: Executive Producer Darryl Frank Dishes Details on Changes to the Show

When Fox's TV adaptation of Tom Cruise's science fiction film "Minority Report" arrives to the small screens next month, viewers will find some of the recognizable elements from the movie being changed.

For one, the local NFL team representing the 2065 Washington D.C. is called the Washington Red Clouds instead of the epithet the football franchise currently sports. According to Deadline.com, the new name pays homage to a "renowned Indian chief."

Other details changed in the series were revealed by executive producer Darryl Frank during the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, California on Thursday.

For instance, the city will have a "cooler public transportation system" as well as some changes to the national monuments.

Basically, Steven Spielberg wanted the show to exude a "warmer" and "more inviting" atmosphere as compared to his 2002 film.

Aside from its ambience, the series will put focus on the life of the pre-cog Dash (Stark Sands) who went AWOL from his remote retreat area following the disbandment of the Precrime investigation.

"The thing that really spoke to [Spielberg] was being able to bring these pre-cogs to life," Frank said. "The chance to humanize the pre-cogs spoke to him more than anything."

Showrunner Max Borenstein also released a statement explaining the matter further.

"It felt like just following up on the [Precrime] enforcer would be limiting," the executive producer explained. "[Whereas] the idea of focusing on the pre-cogs, the people who were traumatized by experiencing these murder visions all of their lives, is just fascinating. It allows us to dig into the ethical issues of what responsibility somebody has if they see that future. That was the reason we decided to shift focus."

Below is the official storyline for "Minority Report," which premieres on Monday, Sept. 21 on Fox:
