Flashforward

This is a pretty decent concept. Its based on a book written by a Canadian who theorized about what might happen when the scientists at CERN switched on the Large Hadron Collider.

Quote:
A mysterious global event causes everyone to simultaneously experience, for two minutes and seventeen seconds, his or her life six months in the future. When it is over, many are dead in accidents involving vehicles, aircraft, and any other device needing human control. Everyone who survived is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen.
A Los Angeles FBI agent named Mark Benford tries to figure out what exactly happened and why it happened. Along with his team, he creates a database of people's flash forwards from around the world called the Mosaic Collective. Apart from the various catastrophic visions, people also see themselves relapsing into various former vices, such as Benford seeing himself drinking again, and his wife Olivia has a vision of herself with another man.

Looks good. Joseph Fiennes. John Cho, Dominic Monaghan, and Seth McFarlane will be in it.
