Marc Guggenheim Exits "Flash Forward"

The veteran scribes over at Aint It Cool News were handed a hot off the presses scoop that Marc Guggenheim will no longer be involved with ABC's sci-fi drama "Flash Forward". The details behind Guggenheim's departure are not available at this time, and anything pointing to the possible reason would be purely speculative on my part. It is being reported that Guggenheim was involved with the first 12 episodes of "Flash Forward" acting as a mentor to David Goyer who will take over the just recently ordered "back nine".

"Flash Forward" burst on to the scene with much fanfare, being dubbed the next "Lost" and didn't disappoint. The pilot knocked veteran ratings juggernaut "Survivor" out of the top spot its opening week and has continued with solid ratings throughout its early run. I'm surprised that Marc even had time to work on "Flash Forward" considering his incredibly busy schedule. Not only is he still involved with WB's comic book blockbuster "Green Lantern", but he is also hard at work writing the post-apocalyptic invasion flick "Resurrection" which is set to be distributed by Universal Pictures. Marc is also working on Marvel's "Iron Man vs Whiplash" 4-part comic run which acts as a refresher on the character of "Whiplash" who will be featured in "Iron Man 2" courtesy of Mickey Rourke. 

Last time I chatted with Marc he mentioned some more fun projects on the horizon, so stay tuned.
