 |
|
Wasn't sure whether to post this in Other TV shows or here since it has two of our Losties 
Some of us already know that Lost's Sonya Walger (Penny) and Dominic Monaghan (Charlie) will be starring in a new TV show called "Flashforward" based on the novel by Robert J Sawyer (so many Lost links  )
| Quote: | | The novel revolves around events in the year 2009. At CERN the Large Hadron Collider accelerator is performing a run to search for the Higgs boson. During the run the entire human race loses its consciousness of the present and experiences events from about 21 years in the future. Each individual, except for those asleep, experiences their own future through the senses of their future self. This "flash forward" lasts a matter of two minutes, but when it is over many are dead in accidents involving vehicles, aircraft, and any other device needing human control. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_Forward_(2009_TV_series)
The show will also star Joseph Fiennes, Courtney B. Vance, John Cho and Jack Davenport.
Rumour has it Dom will be playing the part of Theo:
| Quote: | | The deaths of several characters are forecast by the "flash forward". Anyone who did not experience it is assumed to be dead in the future. This includes Theo Procopides. Some people report reading about his murder in the future. However as time goes by it seems that the events of the future are not predestined. Some people, depressed by their visions of their own dismal futures, commit suicide, thereby changing those futures. The story begins to take on the features of a murder mystery, as Theo attempts to prevent his own murder. His brother Dimitrios, who aspired to be a writer but saw himself just working in a restaurant in the future, is one of the suicides. |
The show is said to start in September 2009.
Here are two Promo's:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25kXHgWg938 (this one kinda hints that Dom won't be playing Theo :S)
Rumours about this first came from the ABC promo that was shown not long ago where Courtney Cox's character asks "What did you see?" (phrase in the promo of Flashforward) and after Patrick Dempsey's character Derek Shephard tells Dom (who we at first presumed was supposed to be Charlie) that he was "so dead" he replies "Actually I was". This makes sense for the show as in the flashforward Dom's character is dead. However, it doesn't mean that he can appear on Lost as well, right? Just thought I'd add that in there
I think the show sounds awesome though I have no idea how they will make a whole series out of it. Sounds more like movie material I am very excited to see Dom in a new show! And with Sonya (Penny/Charlie! ) Also awesome that NORRINGTON is gonna be in it xD Feel free to discuss thoughts here. And mods can move this if I posted it in the wrong place :s |

I'd post this here and in the Other TV Shows thread Jemmz  Cos when it starts up we'll definitely wanna thread in there to talk about it
Im definitely psyched for this one!!! Maybe there will be something to fill the void after Lost leaves us next year

| Will do And about Dom playing Theo, I saw that in the trailer as well with the asian dude. But then it begs the question, what did Dom mean by "actually I was" then?? Maybe he really was Charlie in that trailer? I would have really liked him to be Theo 'cause it sounds like an awesome role but it would still be great to see him in a new show |

I'm like so giddy from reading all of this. Last night I was finding all these Lost references. Penny, Charlie, the Asian from Star Trek directed by JJ Abrams, the author of the Flashfoward book's last name is Sawer, the word "flashfoward", the show's written by a guy who wrote The Dark Knight and Richard Alpert was the Mayor of Gotham! Coincedence or fate?
