FlashForward
News (Page 7)

The basic premise of FlashForward is known by most TV fans at this point:

Simultaneously, the world's population goes unconscious and each individual flashes forward to the date April 29, 2010. Some see themselves as pregnant; others see nothing at all and fear that they are dead.

After two minutes and 17 seconds, everyone wakes up and wonders the same thing: WTF?!?

FBI agent Mark Benford even puts together The Mosaic Collective, his attempt to piece together what the heck is going on. For his sake, let's hope Mark tunes in to the conclusion of the September 24 series premiere.

Consider yourself warned, as we're about to reveal a major piece to the FlashForward puzzle:

• At the end of "No More Good Days," security camera footage is shown of the moment when the world blacks out. Everyone on the planet appears to drop like a fly at the same time... except for a mysterious man in black, who is shown walking around strewn bodies at a stadium in Detroit.

What does this mean? Who is that man? Like the rest of us, you'll need to tune in to FlashForward this fall and find out.

We've seen the pilot episode of FlashForward.

The first 20 minutes are a bit muddled, but have patience. Events come together in the second half and the conclusion leaves one counting the days until episode two.

Read on for a few series premiere spoilers, as we reveal just what various characters actually flash forward to...

• Aaron Stark sees his wife, alive and well. This is quite unexpected, as he thought she died in the war;
• Zachary, a co-worker of Olivia's, is about to commit suicide in the present day - but he seems himself alive in his flash forward and decides against the act when he regains consciousness.
• In Mark Benford's vision of the future, he's wearing a friendship bracelet. Near the end of the pilot, his daughter presents him with this piece of jewelry, confirming the accuracy of his flash forward.

FlashForward premieres on ABC on September 24. You should really watch it.

No FlashForward spoilers here, just a look at a few actors in the roles they'll be playing on this new ABC drama.

Few shows have received more hype that FlashForward, and for good reason: it may very well become the next Lost.

The series stars Joseph Fiennes, Courtney B. Vance, Dominic Monaghan and others. It premieres on September 24. Click on the following promotional photos for larger versions of each...

As previous FlashForward spoilers have revealed, Dominic Monaghan has joined the upcoming ABC series - in which every character flashes forward to his/her future life - in a regular role.

The latest poster for the drama doesn't hide either of these facts: Monaghan's is one of the faces featured, while the tagline above perfectly sums up the dilemma faced by each individual on the show...

FlashForward will debut on September 24, immediately prior to the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. You should watch it.

You needn't have studied our section of FlashForward spoilers to know the premise of the upcoming ABC drama:

Everyone around the world blacks out in the season premiere, which is titled "No More Good Days," and flashes forward to April 29, 2010.

They proceed to wake up and wonder: what the heck happened? And what the heck did I just see?

In the latest promo for the series, the network has revealed a handful of new scenes. Most of them depict reaction to this unusual event. Watch, enjoy and then circle your calendar for the September 24 premiere:

Not the most pressing FlashForward spoilers we've ever posted, but any information on this wildly-anticipated show ought to be welcome by any potential viewer.

We've uncovered the episode titles for the drama's first three hours. They are:

1. "No More Good Days"
2. "White To Play"
3. "137 Sekunden"

The main flash forward, in which every character blacks out and sees his/her life on April 29, 2010 will take place on the pilot episode; while Dominic Monaghan will debut on the second.

Gabrielle Union has nabbed a recurring role on ABC's FlashForward.

The beautiful actress will portray a criminal defense attorney engaged to John Cho's character, Demetri Noh. In an interview with Sci-Fi Wire, Union said the coupling of two different ethnicities is 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 the FlashForward series premiere, which airs on September 24, one flash forward saves a character from suicide; while others see themselves somehow pregnant and/or sleeping with a strange man.

As for Union's character? The actress won't reveal what her future supposedly holds, but:

"It's life-affirming, that's for sure," she said.

Dominic Monaghan is confirmed for Flash Forward. His character is named Simon.

But that's not all we know about him. Producer Marc Guggenheim revealed a great deal more about Monaghan's role in an interview with E! News this week. He said:

"Simon is the smartest man in the world, and he definitely knows it. He's mysterious, but not just for story reasons. He's a mysterious kind of person. He's someone that's so intelligent that he has a difficult time interfacing with people on a human level, because he's just so much smarter than them. He's an enigmatic figure whom I hope you'll want to get to know over the course of the first season."

Flash Forward premieres on ABC on Thursday, September 24.

The mere concept of FlashForward makes it one of ABC's most highly-anticipated new shows:

For two minutes and 17 seconds, everyone on the planet blacks out. They have visions of their lives six months into the future; then they wake up and must determine what the heck happened, as well as what is about to happen.

Pretty cool, no?

If you're not sold on the premise, however, consider the show's pedigree: it's written and produced by David Goyer, the man that penned what many consider to be one of the best movies of all-time, The Dark Knight.

In the following extended promo, Goyer takes viewers behind the scenes of FlashForward:

The latest casting addition for FlashForward is almost as mysterious as the show itself.

Keir O'Donnell - best known for his role in Wedding Crashers - has joined the cast of the upcoming ABC drama. No word yet on what recurring character he'll play, but the actor joins an ensemble that includes Joseph Fiennes, John Cho and Sonya Walger.

O'Donnell also appeared in Paul Blart: Mall Cop and will have a part in The Runaways, the Joan Jett biopic starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.
