Comic-Con: 'Minority Report' Stars Invent Show's Theme Song
The cast of the Fox sci-fi series Minority Report must have consulted with a future-predicting precog before sitting down for their Yahoo TV Comic-Con interview. Because after being challenged to invent a theme song for their action-packed show, based on the 2002 Steven Spielberg/Tom Cruise blockbuster, they didn’t miss a beat.
Stark Sands, who plays precog Dash, laid down a beat that his co-stars, Laura Regan and Wilmer Valderrama, sang impromptu lyrics over. Despite their impressive efforts, we predict that Fox will probably not use this tune as the show’s actual theme.

Valderrama also discussed what it was like to throw up Cruise’s famous “gang signs” — a byproduct of manipulating holograms in the air — as his character, Will Blake, a detective who works alongside a crime-solving team that includes Dash, Nick Zano as Arthur, and Meagan Good as Laura Vega. Because in the future, those hand gestures are a good way for cops to solve crimes… and look cool while doing it.
In the below video, the cast puts their soothsaying powers to the test to predict what Comic-Con will look like in the year 2065, the same year that the show takes place and a whole fifteen years after the events of the film. “I think that the fans are going to be able to walk the floor from the comfort of their own home,” Valderrama says. For his part, Sands already knows who the headliners are going to be: “Superman, Batman, Spider-Man.” And Regan followed that up by semi-accidentally teasing a small spoiler from the series: The Simpsons will still be on the air in 2065, and can be glimpsed celebrating its 75th anniversary in the background of a shot in the Minority Report pilot. “I’m OK in a world where The Simpsons is still on TV in 2065,” Sands says. That’s a future we can all be proud of.
Minority Report premieres Sept. 21 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
