SF author Robert J. Sawyer, whose 1999 novel is the basis of the ABC sci-fi
drama pilot _Flash Forward_, told SCI FI Wire that he grew emotional observing
the film's production in early March in Los Angeles—and that he will have a
cameo appearance in the initial episode.
"They filmed my favorite scene in the whole script," Sawyer said in an exclusive
telephone interview. "And I actually got misty-eyed when they were filming it,
because it didn't matter if the character names were the same as the character
names in my novel. They were saying things that were the heart and soul of the
novel that I had written a decade ago. What they're doing is _Flash Forward_,
and I, to the core of my being, feel that they are doing my book."
