I’m behind on my Google Alerts (crazy couple of weeks), but I’m trying to catch up. Rabid Doll has this nice interview with FRINGE showrunner Jeff Pinkner that should shed more light on what FRINGE is “like” and “not like.” And he can say with more authority than most

E! Online posted the following video interview with FRINGE stars Joshua Jackson and Anna Torv. From the outfits, I’m guessing this took place at the FOX Upfronts a couple of weeks ago:

J.J. Abrams talks about the difficult task of finding the right actress to play FBI Agent Olivia Dunham in this interview held during the Fox upfront last week. I have to say that I agree wholeheartedly with the casting of Anna Torv - she completely owns this part.
One correction to that piece from SciFiWire — the Casting Agent’s name is April Webster, not Ann

IGN managed to tackle the blur known as J.J. Abrams this week and get some questions answered about his Star Trek movie (i.e., the movie will still be done by Christmas - it was Paramount that made the decision to delay the release until May) and the continued swirling rumors around a sequel to Cloverfield (i.e., JJ would rather do a new and different movie with Matt Reeves and Drew Goddard rather than a sequel).
You can find the interview HERE.

If you are still mind-frakked over last week’s Lost episode, then you should go HERE to read Watch with Kristin’s interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. The Darlton boys are doing interviews aplenty these days - pretty typical for the Season Finale build up.
Assume there be spoilers in the article.

According to this interview of Joshua Jackson by SciFiWire, the filming of the pilot of my next obsession (aka FRINGE) should be completed in the next week or so (they’re filming in Toronto, fyi). He also talks about how the dense 2-hour pilot script is what really drew him into the show. His character, Peter Bishop, is not your typical genius - don’t think Marshall. He’s not the geeky guy in the corner with the glasses and the pasty white skin - he’s much more of a reluctant (and somewhat snarky) genius.
If I haven’t mentioned it here before, THIS SHOW WILL BE YOUR NEXT OBSESSION. I’m literally bouncing in my seat with anticipation.

According to this interview with Joshua Jackson over on SciFiWire, he turned the part of Peter Bishop on FRINGE down THREE times before finally caving in and signing a 6-year deal to do the show. I’m amazed that anyone could turn down the charming and engaging JJ - at least JJ uses his power of persuasion for good
Wonder if HEROES knows about him…
Also, you guys have no idea how PERFECT Joshua Jackson is for this role. Seriously, just trust me on this. This show will be your next obsession. Bank on it.

Just got sent this link from The Associated Press of an interview with Terry O’Quinn. Half the interview is in that vid, with the other half coming out on Thursday, I believe. He talks about Locke and his Island obsessionlove
I couldn’t hear it, but am assuming there are spoilery bits for Season 4.

I was interviewed last week by The Houston Chronicle about being a fan of JJ and LOST. It seems that the interviewer liked what I had to say because my name comes up often in the piece that went live today.
Go HERE to read it. Yeah, that Johnston chick? That’s me
One note: I DO NOT co-run The Fuselage with Artie. That would be the lovely Karri. The interviewer really didn’t have much of an understanding about online bulletin boards, so when I told her I was a moderator there, I think she misunderstood what that was. Otherwise, the rest of the article is good - and it’s a positive one, which I always like to see.

It is a RARE occurrence for me to find an interview with the one, the only - Bryan Burk - that covers stuff I haven’t heard him talk about before. Well, LOOKIE HERE - I actually found one. Burky talks about CLOVERFIELD, but he also talks about his love for Star Wars and how he came to meet and become best friends with JJ and Matt. SOOOO worth the read.
Go. Now. Read it.
ETA: BIG THANKS to my pal Grant for sending me the link. NEVER ASSUME I HAVE SEEN EVERYTHING!!! That goes for all of you. Me busy girl these days. I miss a LOT

I was doing a phone interview last night and I was asked what an “Easter Egg” is. I actually had to stop for a moment - the realization that there are still people in the world who are unfamiliar with Easter Eggs was a bit startling for me. But then again, not everyone has been immersed in Bad Robotland for the past five years like I have. Weird.
Oh, I am posting this to share this piece from SciFiWire with Matt Reeves. The question is - am I more amused that Reeves was so coy about the Easter Eggs that CLOVERFIELD fans have been picking apart on the internet…or by the thought that the interviewer actually thought he would get a straight answer? Hmmm…
***SPOILER WARNING!!!*** — There is mention of specific scenes from the movie in this article.
