The future-flung heroes of Fringe, currently busy saving humanity
from folically-challenged time travelers with noodle-baking psychic powers,
are about to meet another kind of mentalist —
and we’re not talking Patrick Jane or Sherlock Holmes.
EW.com has learned that the producers of the soon-to-end Fox
drama have cast singer-actress-poet Jill Scott in the role of Simone,
described as “an incredibly intuitive woman, an oracle-like person.”

As the final season inches closer to the end, a familiar face we haven't seen in quite a while will pop up
— and Walter will not be too happy about it.

To be loved is the most basic of human needs, after food and shelter,” the Aussie actress continues
And while she has had support through her life, and she’s had Simon [as a partner], it’s just not the same
She never felt really loved until she reunited with [her parents]. And that’s what makes her death peaceful in a way
She stops fighting [Windmark's thought-reading ] and let’s that contentment wash over her

The cast embraced me completely,” Haig effuses. “John [Noble] took me out for lunch and said, ‘Ask me anything
Anna [Torv] went out of her way to make sure I met the crew before we started filming. And Josh [Jackson] made
sure that I got out and saw Vancouver.” Likewise, The fans embraced my character because I was part of that family

when I first got told that I was in Season 5, I knew it was a bunch of episodes. I didn’t know exactly what was going
to happen and I was kind of guessing, coming up with scenarios in my head and I finally spoke to Joel and yeah,
he explained the trajectory and I was like, “Oh my God. It’s so much to put all those characters through,” and
he told me the story and it’s a really brave decision by everyone and brave because now those characters have
to deal with the loss of a child on top of saving the world and it’s just incredible that they put them through that,
but yeah. I thought it was kind of beautifully done

It’s so funny because I was all emotional, and everybody was just like, Ugh, whatever, Georgina, you’ll just be back.
It’s Fringe. Everybody dies about four times.” And I was like, “Yeah, but I’ve been obliterated into millions of pieces! [Laughs]
It wasn’t just a death, it was a mega-death. It was a death with a full stop. So I don’t know. Anything is possible

As the Fringe team fights for humanity’s future in the fifth and final season, the imaginative journey toward the
end of the acclaimed series will culminate in a climactic conclusion during the two-hour final-two-episodes event
Friday, Jan. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. This milestone date will also celebrate the series’ 100th episode

Series Co-Creator and Executive Producer J.J. Abrams reflected on the show’s run: “It has been an absolute
honor to have been a part of the weird and wonderful world of FRINGE. I will always owe the cast and crew
for pouring their hearts and souls into every dimension of this series. Creating the show with Bob Orci and
Alex Kurtzman was a joy, but watching it evolve over the years into such an imaginative, insane and heartbreaking
ride is nothing less than a thrill. I am grateful to our blessed fans, and to Kevin Reilly and Peter Rice and everyone
at the glorious Fox network for allowing FRINGE to reach its bittersweet conclusion

Executive producer and showrunner J. H. Wyman said, “Above all else, from the bottom of my heart, I would
like to personally thank everyone involved with FRINGE. From the most amazing fans, to our incredible cast,
writers and crew, and our wonderful partners at FOX and Warner Bros. – we would not be here without you.
It simply cannot be overstated how grateful I am for the ongoing and unconditional support we have received
over the past five seasons. It has been both mind-blowing and humbling. I’ve always been a fan of science
fiction, and to be able to tell this story about a family – a family that, through everything, fought together
for survival – has been a highlight of my career. As we approach the final chapter, I can hardly believe it,
and I’m just truly thankful for this unparalleled experience

FRINGE has truly imagined the impossibilities over its five seasons and will go down in the books as one of
FOX’s most riveting and creatively brilliant series,” said Kevin Reilly, Chairman of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting
Company. “It has been a blast to work with J.J., Joel and their masterful creative teams, as well as with Anna,
Josh and John and the rest of the most talented cast and crew in the business

Throughout FRINGE’s thrilling five seasons, the series has followed Special Agent OLIVIA DUNHAM (Anna Torv)
enlisted institutionalized “fringe” scientist WALTER BISHOP (John Noble) and his globe-trotting, jack-of-all-trades son
PETER (Joshua Jackson) as the Fringe team explored mysterious occurrences linked between parallel universes
doppelgängers, Observers and unimaginable threats. The unlikely trio supervised by Special Agent PHILLIP BROYLES
(Lance Reddick) and assisted by ASTRID FARNSWORTH (Jasika Nicole) – often led them to science and technological
corporation Massive Dynamic, founded by WILLIAM BELL (guest star Leonard Nimoy), and its enigmatic chief executive
NINA SHARP (Blair Brown)

The fifth and final flash-forward season of FRINGE is set in 2036, when the “Observers” have become ruthless rulers of
a dystopian society. As the battle for the world’s future continues to unfold, the Fringe team is in the midst of making its
final stand to save humanity. In the aftermath of the devastating loss of Peter and Olivia’s daughter, ETTA
(guest star Georgina Haig), the intensity escalates as the combat continues and Peter makes a pivotal and game-changing
move in the all-new “An Origin Story” episode airing tonight (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX

Created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, FRINGE is produced by Bad Robot Productions in association
with Warner Bros. Television. Abrams, Bryan Burk and J.H. Wyman serve as executive producers, while Akiva Goldsman
is a consulting producer. “Like” FRINGE on Facebook atwww.facebook.com/Fringe. Follow the series on Twitter

The ability to move like an Observer and to predict future events (sort of like The Plateau’s Milo Stanfield)
could be quite useful. But there will be a downside to Peter’s rash decision to implant the Observer tech…
will he lose his humanity–his emotions? Olivia seemed to notice that Peter is not quite right…
Will she write off her gut feelings by attributing Peter’s increasingly off behavior to his grief?

It’s definitely the biggest season finale we’ve ever had,” Wyman promised.
“It’s the most expensive…. It’s massive,really big. I wanted to go out like, ‘Wow, how did they do that?’”

Grammy winner Jill Scott plays The Oracle in this week's FRINGE

"A quiet warrior" is how how Scott describes her character in the show, someone who can glimpse into the future.
But in the "Fringe" universe, psychics, visions, and seers might be a dime a dozen. She joked that her character
Simone had more powers in the episode, but her ability will be integral to helping Olivia in the episode "The Human Kind."
While she couldn't reveal too much detail about her character in the episode, she described Simone as someone who's a
hard worker focused on her community

One practical challenge of the role was the cold during the shoot while from an artistic side, it took her some time to find

Working alongside actress Anna Torv, Scott described herself as "thoroughly geeked" to be near a character that she's
respected for so long--Scott said she to let go of her fandom a little to get the work done

Scott says she lobbied for the job based on her love of the show (she cites Walter Bishop as one of her favorite characters
on TV). "I wish it wasn't the final season," Scott says, comparing the series to the likes of "The X-Files" or "Star Trek" in
terms of creating a universe that a viewer could easily get immersed in. Touching on the series' writing, Scott says that
the show avoids being overly-manufactured in a way that's slightly scary and believable--"There just might be an alternate
universe, there just might be people on the other side" Scott said, describing it as both a wonderful and scary possibility

Full Interview

Joshua Jackson, Anna Torv Likely to Skip 2013 Pilot Season After Fringe Wraps

رد مقتبس:

“I’ll probably skip this pilot season, for a variety of reasons,” Jackson shared with us at Fringe‘s 100th episode party held Dec 1
in Vancouver, just days before filming began on the Warner Bros. TV drama’s final hour (airing Jan. 18 on Fox)
Among the TV vet’s considerations: “With the intensity of 22-episode television, I don’t know how healthy it is to try to jump from
show to show,” he noted. “And I had the benefit, because of my first show (Dawson’s Creek), to be able to wait out on something
really good like [Fringe], and they don’t come around every year just because you’re unemployed. So the next time around, I’ll be
waiting for something as good as this.” In the meantime, he said, “Lots of sleep!” is on his itinerary.

Torv, meanwhile, told TVLine that since pilots for the 2013-14 TV season start casting “pretty soon” (aka early January)
— after five intense Fringe seasons — “I really want to take a deep breath.”
A relative newcomer to U.S. audiences when she first inhabited the role of Olivia Dunham in 2008, the Aussie actress
explained that “after any little jump that you do, you go through a period where you have to let go of your character.
You sort of think about them and miss them, and then you put them to bed and you grieve them, and then that’s it.
I’ve never played anybody for five years, so it’s going to take a bit of time for me to get her all out [of my system].”
Forgoing pilot season “is my immediate plan,” she added. “And then… I don’t know!”
