David Goyer: “We Have a Plan for the Show to Last Five Seasons”
September 1st, 2009
I sometimes get a little weary of producers who insist that they have a plan laid out for the entire series, because the Prison Break people said the same thing and sometimes – despite my utter and total love for the show – I felt they were making some stuff up as they went along. FlashForward executive producer David Goyer promises that they have a plan for the show that could last at least five seasons:
“In a post-Lost world, when you take a pilot to the networks, they ask, ‘Do you have any idea where it goes?’ ” Goyer told USA Today. “As a viewer, I would feel frustrated if the show creators don’t know where they’re going.”
FlashForward hopes to learn from the past by showing deep character storylines while still maintaining the brisk pace mandated to keep the story going. “We couldn’t hang our hats on that big concept. It had to be about relationships and how it affected everyone’s lives. That, to me, was the hook,” said actor John Cho, who plays Demetri Noh in the series.
Goyer reassures audiences that FlashForward will still remain true to the story, however, and has a plotted beginning, middle, and end. The series, he says, will be told best in five seasons. It could, however, be shortened down to three, or “accordioned” out to last even longer than five.

First Look of Dominic Monaghan on FlashForward

Here’s a quick – very quick – scene with Dominic Monaghan from FlashForward. I suspect this might be his first appearance. I can tell you that the man that Joseph Finnes is manhandling is Jack Davenport, who plays Lloyd Simcoe on the show. Lloyd happens to be connected to one of the other main characters and features promeniently in their flash forward.
Gabrielle Union Interview

Tags: Gabrielle Union, Interview
Gabrielle Union (Bad Boys 2) will appear in FlashForward at some point after the pilot episode. Since the announcement was made that she was joining the cast, we’ve since learned that she’ll be playing a defense attorney who is engaged to John Cho’s character (Demetri Noh).
In a recent interview with SciFi Wire, Gabrielle talks about working with John, their characters’ relationship, her character’s flash forward and the secrecy surrounding the show’s storylines. Check out excerpts from the interview below:
Gabrielle Union joined the cast of ABC’s upcoming sci-fi thriller series FlashForward after the pilot and told us that she’ll play a criminal defense attorney engaged to Demetri Noh (John Cho). She said the pairing of her African-American character and Cho’s Asian-American character was deliberate.
“The cultural differences with our families, not only blending families in the middle of a recession but blending families that come from different cultures and races and backgrounds, will definitely be explored,” Union said in an exclusive interview last week in Pasadena, Calif. “And, I love John.”
Union said her scenes with Cho focus on their relationship.
“[I've shot] a lot of time with John,” She continued. “We have a really good relationship. I’m so glad that they’re showing two people of color with, like, a really … loving and nurturing relationship. I haven’t really seen that on TV, and certainly not in an interracial relationship, very loving and sweet in a genuine sort of way.” (Major spoilers ahead!)
In the pilot episode, one flash forward saves a character from suicide. Others characters worry that their own futures include a relapse into alcoholism or an end to their marriages. Union’s not telling what she sees.
“It’s life-affirming, that’s for sure,” she teased.
Cho’s character sees nothing in his flash forward, leading him to believe he doesn’t make it to April 29. So far, this has not affected his relationship in early episodes, Union said.
“Well, he has not shared with me his flash forward, so ignorance is bliss at this point,” Union said.
Union came to FlashForward because of her previous relationship with ABC: She starred on the short-lived Night Stalker and guested on Ugly Betty, so the network wanted to get back in the Gabrielle Union business.
“They’ve been incredibly supportive,” Union said. “A lot of people give lip service to ‘We want to increase diversity,’ and then you just never see any people of color. They actually really mean it. If one thing doesn’t work out, they come up with more opportunities. So they’re like, ‘We want you back in the family,’ and by chance, the next day the Goyers [executive producers Jessika Borsiczky Goyer and David Goyer] called them, and they were like, ‘Do you think Gabrielle would ever be interested in returning to television?’ They’re like, ‘Funny you should ask. We just talked to her about this.’”
Since FlashForward has a long-term mythology that the creators are guarding closely, it’s one of those shows where even the actors don’t get information beyond the script they are shooting. That creates a challenging work environment for Union.
“It’s more hard that we are given very limited information, to the point where filming a scene, I think I have all the information I need,” she said. “We do a take, and they’re like, ‘Oh, nobody told her.’ Then they whisper it in your ear, and I’m like, ‘Oh, OK, that changes everything.’ So I’m literally getting information on a need-to-have basis. That’s more challenging. Literally, they tell me on a need-to-know basis.”

3 FlashForward Websites from ABC
August 9th, 2009
In anticipation of the show, ABC has set up three websites for fans:
The Mosaic Collective
This was the first site created for the series and, so far, revolves around the “what did you see?” promos that aired, giving people a glimpse of a flash forward. Visitors to the site can input the answer of what they saw and then get to see an accompanying image. In the book, the Mosaic Collective is the attempted by some scientists to piece together a common picture of the future from various people’s flashes.
Red Panda Resources
This is the official site for the show, where writers, producers and other staff will post spoilers and general information. Fans will also have an opportunity to interact with each other and staff members.
Truth Hack
I just found out about this site, thanks to Jo’s FlashForward site. It’s run by a fake investigative journalist, Oscar Obregon, who is trying to investigate the cause of the Global Blackout (otherwise known as the GBO). You can also follow Oscar’s Twitter page.

New Promo & Behind the Scenes Video

Tags: Behind the Scenes, Promo
Below is a new promo for FlashForward, paired with a behind the scenes video. Showrunner David Goyer describes the premise of the show and gives a few sneak peaks on the cast putting together the big action scenes from the pilot. As an aside, my favorite version ever of the song “Mad World” is by Adam Lambert on American Idol. I don’t watch that show, but I caught the video of him singing it and I thought he was fantastic. That song is at the end of this video.
