Joseph Fiennes and John Cho are in negotiations to join the cast of ABC's Flash Foward, a drama series based on Robert J. Sawyer's
sci-fi novel about the chaos that ensues after everyone in the world passes out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds and has a mysterious vision of the future that changes lives forever. Jack Davenport and Courtney B. Vance are already on board. Davenport will play Lloyd Simcoe, the book's protagonist, although the show appears to depart quite a bit from the novel. Brannon Braga and David S. Goyer wrote the pilot script. Filming will begin on January 19. (

Producer Frank Marshall talks about the fourth Bourne movie. He says he would like to base it on
The Parsifal Mosaic, one of the non-Bourne novels written by the character's creator Robert Ludlum:
"The Parsifal Mosiac," not a "Bourne" adventure as a novel, deals with a U.S. spy who falls in love with another spy who is revealed to be a double agent just before her death. When he retires from the business, though, the spy learns that she may still be alive and sets out to learn the truth.
Sounds like a role for Nicky (Julia Stiles). (
