Comic-Con: �Fringe� Film Possible, Cast Says
By DOMINIC PATTEN
There might be a Fringe movie, at least if members of the cast have
their way. �The film is very possible down the line,� John Noble said
today at the show�s Comic-Con panel. �The show will live on in some
form or another,� added fellow cast member Joshua Jackson. It was
Fringe�s last turn at Comic-Con today but if the packed Hall H was any
indication the fans certainly don�t want the sci-fi series to even
think about ending. That dedication was evident right near the
beginning of the session as hundreds in the crowd held up print out of
white tulips in tribute to the show�s 18th episode and the flower�s
role as a symbol of forgiveness. Beyond the actor�s speculation and
fond hopes, not a lot was revealed in where things were going in
season five or down the line.
�It�s only 13 episodes so I�m going to be careful with what I say
because I really want you guys to experience it. I�m going to be tight
lipped,� said executive producer J. H. Wyman near the end of the
session. The panel today included Wyman as well as cast members Anna
Torv, Jackson, Lance Reddick, Jasika Nicole and Noble. Blair Brown was
supposed to make it but couldn�t make due to a cold it was announced.
The panel started off with a 5-minute video, which mixed footage from
season four and the upcoming final season five, which debuts in late
September. The video, showed the universe jumping series moving to
future and the series Fringe Division main characters coming out of an
Amber state of animation for the final battle with the Observers, drew
cheers almost from the get-go. The video also showed the daughter of
Jackson�s Peter Bishop character and Torv�s Olivia Dunham character,
who was pregnant near the end of season four.
Wyman reveled that the preview the crowd saw today was actually the
sales tool they used to get Fringe one last season and a 13-episode
order. Wyman told the fans that the new season is �going to pick up
exactly where we left off in 419, the next day.� The EP also revealed
that he worked out the show�s conclusion about �two or three months
ago� and unlike past seasons, he �let the case in on what�s going to
happen.� He wanted the actors to have �enough time to know where we
and they are going.� Jackson added, �just as you guys want the show to
end well we want the show to end well,� Wyman made a point of thanking
the fans but also the network for not cancelling the show despite it�s
�middling numbers.� �Yea, Fox, you have to really say thank you, Wyman
said. The producer added, �we tend to forget it�s a business but they
stuck with us.� The fifth and final season of Fringe debuts on
September 28.

'Fringe' at Comic-Con: A movie may be possible, cast says
by Lynette Rice
http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/07/15/fringe-at-comic-con-were-live-blogging-it/
Hats off to Warner Bros. TV: Fans of Fringe who packed Hall H (capacity:
roughly 6,500) at Comic-Con Sunday were given grey fedoras to wear. We
live-bogged the panel for the Fox drama that will air its fifth and final
season beginning Sept. 28.
10:06 a.m. An exclusive reel is presented. “They came without warning.
They took our world. They enslaved our citizens. To save our future we
must look at our past.” Okay this looks good. Wait, that’s Walter being
released from amber! “We finally ruined” our world, he says. And is that
Peter and Olivia’s daughter, Henrietta? Chills. Here comes Leonard Nimoy,
more explosions, and this; “Rise up. Strike back.” Says Peter, “I think
it’s time we cause a few fringe patterns of our own.” Promises Walter, “I
know how to rid the world of the observers.” Clip over. Now the panel:
Exec producer Joel Wyman, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Lance Reddick, Anna
Torv, Jasika Nicole.
10: 11 a.m. Lights go up. Fans are holding up white cards with white
tulips printed on them. Nice. Where’s Blair Brown? She’s got a cold and
couldn’t travel. Wyman shoots a video of the crowd saying ‘We miss you
Blair.’ He’s gonna tweet it to her. And it turns out that nifty trailer
that was just shown was a sales tool to get a season 5 pickup from Fox.
Production hasn’t even started yet!
10:15 a.m. Wyman said he’s had ideas since season one about how he wanted
the series to end, “but those change because people bring things to the
pie that you don’t expect. I had two and a half versions of what I should
do at the end and I decided about a month ago.” He did tell the cast how
it will end. “In past years we haven’t,” Wyman admits. “We want to write
the scripts early to make sure everything is absolutely perfect. If I’m
doing that, I wanted to make sure the actors had enough time to bring
their ideas and to know where they are going for the final season. I want
to make sure they had enough advance warning.” Adds Jackson, “We all want
the show to end well, so we want the chance to do our best job.”
10:17 a.m. Wyman said they decided to have an Observer book written that
is told through the prism of September’s perception. “We are trying to
give you guys back so much because without you, we would not be here. This
is the little show how that could.”
10:18 a.m: Nicole talks about how Astrid connects with fans. “Fortunately
the relationship that John and I have in real life translated on camera,
so this beautiful connection evolved in the storytelling. Astrid’s first
big episode was realized because of her relationship with the doctor. It
was a lovely way to explore this burgeoning relationship. You saw how much
heart she had. I could get killed off in my first show. And I didn’t die!
I made it to the fifth season!” Reddick talks about how fans are surprised
to see him smile in real life. Nicole joked about how Reddick tried to
disguise himself at Comic-Con by donning a Breaking Bad hat. It didn’t
work. ”He’s the tallest handsomest man at Comic-Con,” she says.
10:22 a.m. Jackson said he’d like to aspire to Peter’s nobility in real
life. Torv says the biggest lesson she’ll learn from her character is “to
come.” Um, sexual innuendo much, Torv? That didn’t come out the way she
wanted, and the crowd starts to giggle, as does the cast. ”I feel that’s
what Olivia needs to learn to do,” Torv quips.
10:29 a.m. Will Olivia and Peter get their happy ever after? Jackson says,
“these two will get the final chapter of their story.” Gee thanks, buddy.
“The fun part of it is, and not to just be producer-y, but the fun part is
the process of discovery. We aren’t trying to tease you, but it’s fun to
watch it week to week. The characters don’t end when the show ends.”
10:31 a.m. Favorite scenes time. For Nicole, it’s when Walter is in the
phone booth and he can’t remember the phone number to reach Peter. Then
she starts to cry remembering the scene when Olivia walks into her home
and sees how her doppelganger has taken over her life. Now Torv is crying!
Torv then tears up more, as does Reddick, when recalling Astrid scenes. Oh
man, it’s a weep-fest. Noble takes the baton. “I, too, am sensitive,” he
deadpans. “I love it when Peter chops that man’s fingers off. I’m not
going to cry.” Jackson then apologizes that he doesn’t have tears for the
crowd. “I’m going to go with Seth Gable and when he was doing his
doppelganger stuff. The ways that contrasted his two selves was really
thought out and performed. So I’ll go with Lincoln and alt-Lincoln.”
10:39 a.m. Another clip, made specifically for Comic-Con. “We wanted to do
it for you because it feels like you all have a brick in the building,”
Wyman says. “From all of us and all the people in Vancouver and all the
people at Fox who stuck with us … thanks to you because you really own the
show with us.” It’s a recap of the show’s last four years, like when
Olivia met William Bell, and when she burst through that car window.
There’s that kiss between Peter and Olivia, and Peter saying “I’m not from
here am I?” There is Martha Plimpton asking about a civilian consultant.
Next comes the introduction of the Observer, and Olivia telling Peter
she’s pregnant. Such a phenomenal show!
10:46 a.m. Fan question time. Someone refers to Jackson as Pacey; poor guy
will never outlive Dawson’s Creek. Wyman won’t say for sure whether Henry
Ian Cusick will come back for season 5 (though he showed up in that
opening clip). An Australian dude says he camped out last night to see the
panel. He asks whether Fringe will live on in other formats. “If this
season goes off as we think it will, I would think a film is very possible
down the track,” says Noble. ”Of course it will be shot on this, in our
trailer,” adds Jackson, holding up his FlipCam.
10:56 a.m. A fan asks for favorite Walter-isms. “I think vagenda still has
to be topped. The vagenda line,” Jackson said. Reddick said it’s from the
pilot when Walter says “I think I just pissed myself.” Nicole loves it
when he calls Astrid names that don’t begin with A, like Claire. One fan
then asks why there are no female observers, while two women standing
behind her who are wearing the fedoras strike the observer pose and gaze
to the stage. “The answer to your question will become apparent this
year,” Wyman says.
11:04 a.m. The cast takes a bow. “Thank you so much!” yells Jackson.
-----------------
WALTER: We need to celebrate... and make sure Agent Dunham can attend. I
want to see her face when she eats my pudding.
PETER: That's disturbing.

When you compare the show's ratings with the apparent enthusiasm of the
"packed" hall at Comic-Con, it's an instant and frightening reminder
(for producers) that it is a very bad idea to base any investment
decisions on the whims and feedback of the Comic-Con crowd.
