Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman Interview FRINGE Season 4

by Christina Radish    Posted: September 23rd, 2011 at 8:23 am

The sci-fi drama Fringe returns for Season 4 tonight, with Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) wiped from existence, after having saved the day in the last season finale. The two worlds are now forced to work together, as Lincoln Lee (Seth Gabel) joins Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) and Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble) on the Fringe team under Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick). With unbelievable new cases and a growing mythology, the fourth season of the popular series promises more shocks and twists that its loyal followers have come to expect from the show’s adventurous, thought-provoking storytelling.

During a recent interview to promote the show’s return, executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman talked about how important Peter Bishop is to the show and that Joshua Jackson will return in some capacity, the significance of the change in the opening title sequence, the challenge of incorporating both worlds into some of the stories this season, how grateful they are to have such a rabid following, and how things start fresh this season, making it the perfect time for new viewers to dive in.

Comic-Con 2011: FRINGE Panel Recap; Watch the Peter Bishop “Auditions” Featuring Zachary Quinto, Michael Emerson and Damon Lindleof!

by Tommy Cook    Posted: July 24th, 2011 at 11:16 am

The Fringe Panel opened with what appeared to be an ordinary ol’ boring sizzle reel. Events from the previous season played out across the screen: the battle between two universes, Olivia trapped on the “other side”, Broyles barking out orders, Walter attempting to save the day, Astrid assisting… all the characters given a moment or two (Lincoln Lee, Nina Sharp, Charlie Francis) everyone except the male lead of the show. Peter Bishop was nowhere to be found. His de-existence branching out to  the very marketing of the show. What happened to Peter? How will he be brought back into existence (i.e. on the show)? Can he be? For the answers to these questions, hit the jump.

Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman Interview FRINGE

by Christina Radish    Posted: February 18th, 2011 at 7:52 am

Even with a move to Friday night that upset many fans of the drama series, Fringe has been holding strong with its devoted followers, thanks to strong stories from its creative team and great acting from its cast, including co-stars Anna Torv, Joshua Jackson and John Noble. During a recent interview, executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman talked about the feedback from the network on the show’s Friday ratings, what’s exciting them about the storytelling path they’re currently on, how things will be escalating in both worlds, how the relationship between Peter (Jackson) and Olivia (Torv) will be getting worse and better, that they already know where they would take the series through Season 5, and how they get many of their ideas from their own nightmares. They also teased what viewers can expect from the next episode, “6B,” airing on February 18^th. Check out what they had to say after the jump:

Executive Producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman Interview FRINGE

by Christina Radish    Posted: September 23rd, 2010 at 8:48 am

After the shocking turns of events that left an imprisoned Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) stuck in the alternate universe, Fringe returns for Season 3 and viewers will get to find out if she can fight her way home while Peter (Joshua Jackson) and Walter (John Noble) try to move on with their lives unknowingly alongside alternate Olivia. As Walter copes with the consequences of his choices, the story will now alternate between “over here” and “over there,” from one universe to the other, as both Fringe team work to solve unexplainable cases.

In a recent interview to promote the launch of the new season, executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman talked about their approach in alternating the episodes from one universe to the other, the shift in dynamics with the other versions of the characters and the journey that the characters will be taking.

FRINGE Gets a Third Season

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 6th, 2010 at 1:59 pm

If you’re a fan of Fringe, you’ll be happy to know Fox has picked it up for a third season.  EW is reporting the news and I can confirm it.  While the show doesn’t get huge numbers on Thursday nights (about 7.6 million viewers), it’s an extremely competitive night on TV and the show has managed to hold its own.  Also, it does well in the all-important 18-49 demographic and when you factor in DVR numbers.

As a big fan of the show, I’m glad it’s coming back.  I’m also happy for the early renewal as it gives executive producers Jeff Pinkner,  J.H. Wyman, Bryan Burk and J.J. Abrams time to write a great season finale.  Fringe also stars Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham), Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop), John Noble (Walter Bishop), Lance Reddick (Phillip Broyles) and Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth).

J.J. Abrams on the STAR TREK Sequel, LOST, FRINGE, and NBC’s UNDERCOVERS

by Sara Wayland    Posted: January 12th, 2010 at 7:52 am

J.J. Abrams was at Monday night’s Fox All-Star Party for the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour on behalf of his sophomore television Fringe. But, with so many things on his plate, like the final season of Lost, his new pilot for the NBC spy series Undercovers and the 2012 sequel for Star Trek, Abrams had plenty to talk about and was more than happy to do so.

During an informal chat, the director/writer/producer talked about possible fan reaction to the last season of Lost, how he’d like to set up Fringe with the same type of end-game, his preparation to direct the pilot for Undercovers and how there’s a release date for Star Trek 2, but no finished script yet. Check out what he had to say after the jump:

Exclusive Interview: FRINGE Showrunner/Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: August 10th, 2009 at 5:59 pm

If you’re a fan of FOX’s great show “Fringe”, I’ve got an interview you’re going to love. That’s because a few days ago I went to the post production headquarters of “Fringe” and spoke with Showrunner/Executive Producer Jeff Pinkner about what’s coming up this season and a lot more. While I sometimes say “a lot more” when posting an interview, those words don’t begin to cover this interview as we talked about so much, there is no way to sum it all up in this intro.

But before getting to the interview, if you’re not watching “Fringe”, you’re missing out on a great show. Last season (which was its first), the show got better and better each week and it all came to a head with a hell of a finale. Also, by the end of the season, the show had figured out how to create self contained episodes that also furthered the mythology of “Fringe”. And even when you thought there wasn’t any mythology in an episode, the show always found a way to reward its fans. Trust me, tune in this season and give it a chance. You won’t regret it.

DVD Cover Art and Info on FRINGE: The Complete First Season

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 28th, 2009 at 10:02 am

Warner Home Video has just announced the DVD/Blu-ray info on “Fringe: The Complete First Season”. While we rarely post DVD cover art and info anymore, since this was one of my favorite shows of last season, I’m going to give it some love.

Remember that one season of “The X-Files” that was really great…that’s “Fringe” every week. While the pilot was mediocre, every subsequent episode got better and better and the show ended with a fantastic finale. All I can say is…I really recommend giving “Fringe” a chance.

So if I’ve peaked your interest, after the jump is all the info on the DVD and Blu-ray plus cover art. Take a look.
