Shakespeare and Sulu to Flash Forward?

Today’s The Hollywood Reporter says:
Joseph Fiennes is in negotiations for the lead in ABC’s hot drama pilot “Flash Forward,” eyed as a potential companion to “Lost.”
John Cho is in negotiations to co-star in the project, from David S. Goyer, Brannon Braga and ABC Studios.
Based on Robert J. Sawyer’s sci-fi novel, “Flash” chronicles 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.
Joseph Feinnes, of course, played the Bard himself in one of my favourite movies, Shakespeare in Love, and John Cho is the new Sulu in the upcoming movie version of Star Trek, my all-time favourite franchise. So — woohoo!
