Is FlashForward about to be rescued?

[Leigason]

ABC's FlashForward aired it's final cliffhanger episode on May 27, 2010 following declining ratings. Since then, fans, dedicated to returning the show to the airwaves, have staged several demonstrations outside network offices. One protest in particular, mimicking the global blackout depicted in the show's first season, attracted the attention of the media and featured demonstrations in cities across the globe. However fan protests are seldom successful and many simply interpreted the demonstrations as a public expression of disappointment at the cancellation. And as a final nail in the coffin, the show's star, Joeseph Fiennes (Mark Benford) signed up with the Starz cable network to appear in their new show Camelot.

However, recent rumors suggest that Starz itself is currently in negotiations to buy the rights for a second season. As Fiennes is already under contract with Starz, it is not implausible that he may be able to appear in both shows simultaneously if the filming schedule is right.

"I just called Starz," one fan recently posted on the FlashForward Facebook page "and the rep told me that they are aggressively seeking the license for FlashForward."

Starz recently hit the scifi headlines with the news that they had co-funded the upcoming fourth season of Torchwood, staring John Barrowman and Eve Myles.

More as we have it.

What do you think? Should FlashForward be returned to the screen?

I'd love to see it resurrected. I hope there's truth to this rumor.

Speaking of Joe Fiennes, I just heard on local radio this morning that Camelot cast and crew have arrived in County Wicklow in Ireland in order to film key scenes from the upcoming TV show. The crew are currently working just outside of a prominent golf club in Bray, which provides scenic views of rolling hills and a famous local landmark - the Sugarloaf mountain. County Wicklow, known as the garden of Ireland, has proved a popular filming location over the years for such movies as Excalibur, Braveheart and Michael Collins among many others. Filming is expected to run until November.

This is about ten minutes from where I live btw. If I run into Mr. F. at any point I'll be sure to ask about those FlashForward rumors.

And get his autograph! and a hug.....if not for you then for me.

I hope it's true! And I'd be perfectly okay if Camelot interfered with Joe's filming schedule for FF ... honestly, Mark was just about my least favorite character on the show.

I'd happily watch the show with everyone else but him.
