The Hollywood Reporter brings the scoop about Flash Forward, an adaptation of a Robert J. Sawyer novel about what happens when the entire world passes out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. They awake with horrifying visions of the future.
According to the Reporter, ABC wants to make Flash Forward a companion show for its hit Lost. Joseph Fiennes is apparently ABC’s choice for the lead, a detective trying to put his life back together while trying to prevent the impending catastrophe. The network is also planning to bring aboard John Cho, who will play Hikaru Sulu in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek revamp. Cho may be most famous for his role as Harold Lee in the two Harold and Kumar comedies.
Sounds like this could be a perfect companion piece for Lost. ABC’s been trying to find such a show since Lost became one of the network’s most watched shows. They’ve looked for shows with sci-fi and fantastic elements with previous casualties including Invasion and the recently axed Eli Stone. Next up is a pairing with British sci-fi redo Life on Mars beginning in January.
Let me get this straight everyone in the world is missing 137 minutes. what are the worries if everybody was laid out. i believe that is world peace baby. holler if you here me.
