The unexampled ABC play Flash Forward is picking up the first members of its mold . And it sounds more and more as though the show , base on a novel by Robert J. Sawyer about a worldwide prophetic blackout , will be a suitable companion in weirdness to ABC ’s disoriented and Life On Mars .
Courtney B. Vance ( Law & Order ) and Jack Davenport ( Swingtown , Pirates of the Caribbean ) are both going to star in the new scifi thriller .
Sawyer ’s novel chronicles the madness that start after the entire universe blacks out for two minutes and 17 minute , during which they all have a visual sensation of the futurity that launches the world into topsy-turvydom .
Davenport will play Lloyd Simcoe , a man pin in Northern California , who needs to reach his son in the infirmary when the black outs happen . Vance is Stan Wedeck the LA agency head of the FBI . It should be interesting to see how many more quirky scientific discipline fabricated shows they can fit on ABC . I ’m already felicitous with Life On Mars and Lost . But I ’m hope they treat Flash Forward better than Pushing Daisies .
