_{That compelling storyline is comin’ right for us!}

If you’ve been devotedly watching FlashForward recently and wishing there wasn’t so much lag time in between the juicy, brain-wrinkling turn of events, then get ready to be happy. Screen Junkies got the opportunity to sit down with the show’s creator and executive producer David Goyer, and he told us FlashForward is cramming a ton more story into season one than was originally intended:

By the end of the season we will have burned through what I think I was originally thinking would be the first two seasons. One thing that we’ve done is we’ve moved things forward. We certainly are responding to some of the fans saying, “Are we not moving fast enough?” So we’ve kind of been given the opportunity now to answer a lot more questions and mov faster. I will say that starting with our first two hour, we answer a ton.

Answers are so much less infuriating than more questions. Steeped in so much mystery, the show was starting to become as frustrating as trying to figure out where to go to dinner with a girlfriend. "I want to go wherever you want to go. Well I want to go wherever YOU want to go. That’s it! We’re boiling hot dogs and drinking boxed wine."

David Goyer also talked about the development of his current feature projects, including the origin story of X-Men baddie Magneto. He wouldn’t give up much, but when asked if Magneto was still in the works, Goyer responded, "Yes."

So there you have it, folks. Magneto is definitely maybe going to be hitting theaters sometime soon/never. Let’s just hope Ian McKellen is still alive to see the premiere. Celebs are droppin’ like flies these days.

Don’t you give me the stink eye, McKellen.

In case you missed Rosie O’Donnell going full retard over the weekend in the replay of Riding on the Bus with My Sister, don’t fear. We have FlashForward‘s Courtney B. Vance embarrassing Special folks everywhere in the made-for-TV movie The Boys Next Door. In this scene, Courtney B. Vance plays a retarded character imagining himself as the real Courtney B. Vance addressing a courtroom full of people, only to then realize that the real Courtney B. Vance is just a figment of the actor Courtney B. Vance’s retarded character’s imagination. Oh god… this is so meta it’s metarded.

The Futon Critic snagged a great interview with David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Blade) and Marc Guggenheim, Executive Producers on the new ABC sci-fi/drama FlashForward.  In it they discuss the confusion over the show’s labeled genre, the difficulties of writing a serialized show for today’s viewers, and the mysterious date of April 29, 2010, the day the characters experienced their flash forwards.  If you’re not aware of the show’s premise, basically when a mysterious event causes the entire world to black out for two minutes and seventeen seconds, humanity is given a glimpse into its near future, and every man, woman, and child is forced to come to grips with whether their destinies can be avoided or fulfilled.  Read the interview in full by clicking on Goyer’s delightful smile below.
