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.

Being ultra-secretive and mysterious, former Lost star Dominic Monaghan will only say that he is going to be playing Simon on the upcoming ABC television series Flash Forward.

During the Television Critics Association Press Tour, the actor admitted that he was told more, up front, about Lost than he was for this new venture, which he signed on for without even a script. But, he also explained that the draw for him was the great writing and the ability to play a character that was vastly different from his last.

In the pilot episode, 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.

The video doesn’t feature Dom, but I thought I’d post it anyway because it looks to be quite an interesting show.

Film and television star Dominic Monaghan opened up to ET at Comic-Con in San Diego about his new show “Flash Forward” — and the star also revealed some extreme measures he has had to take to maintain his privacy.

The “Lost” and ‘Lord of The Rings’ star tells ET that although he is grateful for his fans and their support, sometimes when he is in a hurry he has to disguise himself.

“I unfortunately have to get to places on schedule, I don’t do a huge amount of stopping,” he says. “I wear little disguises so I don’t get stopped, but it’s good to feel the love, and good to know people are supportive of projects that I’m involved with. I love coming down to Comic-Con.”

Dominic tells ET what he would like to be able to see about his own future.

“I’d like to meet my kids, see how they’re doing,” he says. “I’d like to know I did all the things that I wanted to do with my folks.”

“Flash Forward” premieres September 24 on ABC.
