Goyer promises lots of "Easter egg" surprises throughout the high-concept series (like a shout-out to Watchmen's D. Gibbons in the pilot) and adds the show has the potential to go on for years. "Every single man, woman, and child has a vision of the future," says fellow exec producer Brannon Braga (24). "That's 6.8 billion potential stories to tell…and a great syndicated package."
Goyer assured the crowd that Flashforward is not trying to replace Lost. "Nothing will be the new Lost," he says (though Flashforward does star Sonya Walger, who plays Penny on the series). "Lost was genre-breaking."
Sadly, the producers wouldn't give hints about what catastrophe actually causes the blackout, but he did give the crowd a good laugh about it. "Rush Limbaugh farted," he cracked. "It's a big ass."
The producers also hinted about other projects in the works. Goyer said "We are musing…there is musing happening" over another Batman movie, and Guggenheim said he and Braga are talking to Marvel about a new project.
UPDATE: ABC just announced that former Lost star Dominic Monaghan will be joining the cast of Flashforward… though they offered no details about who he'll play. Dare we hope Charlie had a long-lost twin brother?

Explains the ABC promo then. Oh well. I still held out hope he was returning to LOST.

“”Rush Limbaugh farted,” he cracked. “It’s a big ass.” ”
Well, I’m not a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh, but that kind of crap is guaranteed to turn me away from the series. I will not submit to propaganda crap from some sanctimonious liberal @$$hole who is going to tell the rest of us how to think “right.”
Oh kool aid, Goyer’s not the sanctimonious one …
Now that’s put to rest, I for one can’t wait to see this show. It will e interesting to see how it does in the ratings, but I think it will do pretty good.

EntertainmentBlogger, he’s still coming back to Lost. Producers have already said they’re looking to bring back a lot of the major players to the final season, like Shannon, Boone, and Charlie.
Wow, the intrigue just keeps building for that series. And the tv promos are just as hot.
Dear Colorado Kool Aid,
I am playing a song for you on a tiny, tiny violin. It’s a sad song.
okay, if it has Dominic Monaghan in it, I will watch.
Good cast, interesting storyline and a killer preview. This is one fall show i am interested in.
Rush Limbaugh jokes? How about the strain of paying for Obama’s socialized medical care program destroying the economy of the US for decades to come. There’s a funnier joke for you.
So sad. People who think Rush Limbaugh is a politician and not an entertainer. Cute. The important thing is that this show’s cast is full of HOT DUDES. Focus, people.
I really hope these guys are commited to a completely rotating cast. They say they can tell stories of years, that won’t work unless they are willing to get a new cast every year.
Remember what happened to Heroes, it was supposed to be formatted like that. And now look what we have.
Funny (I think) “Rush Limbaugh farted…It’s a big ass. Does that mean that your show is full of B.S.
