Batman Begins writer David Goyer has found two new recruits for his latest project, Fast Forward.
Jack Davenport (the love-sick liutenant from Pirates of the Caribbean) and Courtney Vance (the by-the-book ADA from Law & Order: Criminal Intent) have signed on for the ABC pilot, which some believe will be a “companion show” for the mega-hit Lost.
Fast Forward is based on the 2000 book by Robert J. Sawyer, in which everyone in the world blacks out for two minutes — and in that two minutes, sees a horrifying fast-forward vision from twenty years in the future. While Vance will be playing the FBI bureau chief Stan Wedeck, Davenport will play Lloyd Simcoe, a man struggling to find his son before — at least as his vision predicts — he dies in an accident.

Funny timing. I just started reading that book yesterday. Except it’s called Flashforward (one word according to the author, though it’s listed as two in a lot of places because of the cover design), not Fast Forward.
