Joseph Fiennes And John Cho Flash Forward At ABC

Joseph Fiennes and John Cho are in negotiations to join ABC’s drama pilot Flash Forward, which is being developed as a potential companion to Lost. Based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel, Flash Forward chronicles the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world passes out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and has a mysterious vision of the future that changes lives forever.

The project centers on Mark Banford (Fiennes), an FBI agent who is patching up his life and his marriage after winning a long struggle with the bottle. Disturbed by the harrowing premonition during his blackout, he races to unravel the mystery, fearful of the murky future that might spell disaster for himself and his loved ones. Cho will play Dominic Witten, a dedicated FBI agent who is Mark’s partner and friend. His experience while unconscious was an absolute blank, which doesn’t bode well for his own future as he realizes he might be murdered.
