Without eliminating the part that explains the phenomena happening to people in the entire world for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, the new promo of “FlashForward” gives the actual mass blackout occurring at a sport stadium. Toward the end of the promo, something peculiar is captured in the cctv video while people pass out.

A new sci-fi series airing on ABC, “FlashForward” tells the mysterious happening that caused people to see few months ahead of their life. Following the global event, people start dying one by one while operating man-controlled vehicles like cars and aircraft. The series stars Joseph Fiennes as Mark Benford, John Cho as Demetri Noh, Sonya Walger as Olivia Benford, Dominic Monaghan as Simon and more.

ABC is going full throttle in promoting this show by creating a unique campaign that has bizarre codes on printed ads. The black-and-white codes can be held up to a webcam and the computer screen turns into a 3D ad featuring photos from the show. Each of the photos will extend to clips when clicked.

“Once you watch all the videos, it’s a 10-minute experience,” Darren Schillace, ABC Entertainment advertising/marketing exec explained. “In the normal world, you’d never spend 10 minutes with a print ad.” Ads can be found on tech-oriented publications such as Wired, Popular Mechanics and some gaming magazines. The downloaded version can be obtained at JoinTheMosaic.com.

The FBI agent and his wife’s apparent future lover just miss crossing paths in the hospital hallway. They don’t meet, but what if they had?

Would it block his wife’s path to infidelity? Or would it guarantee it?

The underlying question — can you change your future? — is at the heart of ABC’s FlashForward (Sept. 24, 8 ET/PT), among the most-awaited new fall TV series, and one that some are calling the next Lost.

The premise centers on a two-minute, 17-second blackout that strikes the world’s population, followed by crashes, deaths and other disasters that result from the global unconsciousness. During the blackout, almost everyone has a vision — a flash-forward — six months ahead, to April 29, 2010. 10 p.m. PT, to be exact. Some are welcome, and some, including the wife’s vision of the lover, are not.

What if you saw your future 6 months from now? A glimpse of where you will be and who you will be with. Would you look forward to what was coming…or would you try to stop it?

A mysterious global event causes everyone to black out simultaneously for two minutes and seventeen seconds, and each person sees a glimpse of their lives six months from now. When they wake up, everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen.

Los Angeles FBI Agent Mark Benford (Joseph Fiennes) is desperate to uncover why this happened and who or what is behind it. And he’s not the only one. Before long, everyone starts asking, “What did you see?” As Mark and his team struggle to figure out what caused this bizarre event, they begin to piece together the future by creating a huge database of people’s flash forwards from all over the world – The Mosaic Collective. No one knows what these flash forwards mean or exactly what the future really holds. But it is clear that across the globe people who’ve never met will somehow be intimately connected and will have an impact on each other’s lives in the next six months. Some will fear what’s coming, others excited; but not a single person will be unaffected.

Molly Sullivan: For the show-runners, can you talk about the genesis of this project? How many seasons do you see? If you go for two seasons, will you answer this question and then have another blackout and try to solve that one?

David S. Goyer: By the end of the first season, most of the questions raised in the pilot, including the one you see at the very end, will be answered. The over-arcing cause of why the blackout happened, that’s like our background radiation mystery of the whole series. I think, to really do the show justice, we would need at least three seasons, and it can kind of accordion out, Courtney says, to 21 seasons. [Laughs]

Courtney B. Vance: Rawhide.

DSG: I’ll be in adult diapers by then. [Laughs]

Marc Guggenheim: I’ll be in adult diapers by the end of the season.

Joseph Fiennes: That depends.

DSG: In terms of the genesis, it’s loosely based on a novel that Jessica found about eight years ago.
