The David Goyer (“Blade: The Series,” “Batman Begins”) and Brannon Braga (“Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Threshold”) developed SF series “Flash Forward,” which was originally intended for viewing on HBO, has a new home as a companion piece for the network’s other big SF show “Lost.” “Flash Forward” is being based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel, and it chronicles the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world blacks out for 2 minutes, 17 seconds and has a mysterious vision of the future that changes lives forever.
Goyer is also responsible for writing the screenplay for the upcoming films “X-Men Origins: Magneto” for 2009, “The Unborn” – also 2009, and “The Flash” due to premiere in 2010.
Braga continues as executive producer for Kiefer Sutherland’s hit Fox series “24” due to return in November 2008.
