Joseph Fiennes (“Shakespeare in Love,” “Enemy At The Gates”) and John Cho (J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek,” the “Harold & Kumar” franchise) have been added to the cast of ABC’s sci-fi pilot “Flash Forward,” joining Courtney B. Vance (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent”) and Jack Davenport (“Swingtown”).

David S. Goyer (“Blade: The Series”) and Brannon Braga (“Star Trek: Enterprise”) – who earlier collaborated on CBS’ short-lived alien-invasion drama “Threshold” – scripted “Flash Forward,” based on the sci-fi novel by Robert J. Sawyer.

The book is about what happens when physicists, conducting a super-high-energy experiment, accidentally cause everyone on Earth to experience two minutes and 17 seconds of his or her own future 21 years hence. A lot of people were driving cars when their consciousnesses left their bodies for more than two minutes, so the experience is memorable for many reasons.

The Hollywood Reporter describes:

The project centers on Mark Banford (Fiennes), an FBI agent who is patching up his life and his marriage after winning a long struggle with the bottle. Disturbed by the harrowing premonition during his blackout, he races to unravel the mystery, fearful of the murky future that might spell disaster for himself and his loved ones.

Cho will play Dominic Witten, a dedicated FBI agent who is Mark's partner and friend. His experience while unconscious was an absolute blank, which doesn't bode well for his own future as he realizes he might be murdered.

Goyer, who wrote and directed “Blade: Trinity,” will direct the pilot.
