Dominic Monaghan has revealed that he will “definitely be tuning in” for the final season of Lost.

The 32-year-old actor, who played Charlie Pace on the ABC cult series, also said that he knows a few details on how the series ends.

“I know little bits and pieces about the final season, but I’m still going to watch it,” he said. “It’s event television, so I’ll definitely be tuning in.”

Asked about the comparisons between Lost and his new series FlashForward, Monaghan claimed that there are “distinct differences” between the shows.

“Well, there are obvious similarities because both Lost and FlashForward include a large ensemble cast, a very ambitious storyline and a very easy way to sell the show internationally because it’s based on an event that happens worldwide,” he said.

“Both include mystery, drama and suspense – but at the same time, I think there are distinct differences. I think FlashForward is a show that is probably not as sophisticated in that deeply-rich mythology as Lost is.

“However, I would not like to call FlashForward ‘simplistic’ in any way.”

Having worked on both Lost and FlashForward now, what do you make of the comparisons between the shows?
“I think they’re only valid in that they’re both big ensemble shows with one big concept or premise. But after that, they part ways really quite rapidly. FlashForward is definitely not a sci-fi show. It doesn’t have the mythology of Lost. We have one major event that happens that you are asked to buy into. After that, you’re dealing with very human ripple effects – how people deal with it and how they come to terms with it. There are six-and-a-half billion people that have blacked out, so that’s potentially six-and-a-half billion stories to tell! Believe me, we’re not telling all of them. But we’re about to start [filming] episode eight and I’m so surprised by how far the ripple has been felt.”

Will your involvement in the final season of Lost affect your role on FlashForward?
“I don’t know if I’m in the final season of Lost – no-one tells me anything! My hunch is that you’ll see Penny again because I can’t believe that they would just never refer to her again, but I have no idea. Luckily, they’re both ABC shows, so it’s in-house. I’m not being traded across party lines!”

When Lost ends, do you think fans of the show will jump on-board FlashForward?
“I hope so. I think Lost is like losing a friend or a relative or someone. You can’t replace it with another one. Lost holds a very special place in people’s hearts and I wouldn’t presume to say that FlashForward will replace Lost. I think it provides a lot of the same adrenaline and fascination and entertainment. It will help ease the pain of losing Lost! I think it will appeal to the very same audience.”

Do you think that’s why yourself and Dominic Monaghan were brought on board?
“It’s hard to say. On the one hand, I hope I was chosen because I was the best person for the part. I don’t think it hurt that I was on Lost and people liked my character and people want to see what else Penny is up to. And I think the same is true for Dominic. It doesn’t hurt that either of us were on Lost and it doens’t help that John Cho was on Star Trek. It doesn’t hurt that Joe Fiennes has done many great films! Any time you cast an actor, you don’t just cast that actor; you cast all their other performances as well. Nobody assumes that just because I’m in it, the whole of the Lost audience will watch it.”

How has it been working with Dominic again? How do your characters come across each other?
“It’s funny because I’m actually filming with Dominic for the first time – our paths never crossed. We had one scene together where I was on a small TV screen, so we actually shot that apart – he was in Hawai’i and I was in Broadway doing Frost/Nixon. We never actually met until he came to do FlashForward. This far, we still haven’t done a scene together! I met him on the set and we’ve hung out at some photoshoots but I’ve yet to do a scene with him. He seems great. I’m sure he’s a lovely guy!”

Watch with Kristin has a new interview with Dominic Monaghan:

In the worst-kept secret at Comic-Con 2009, the Flash Forward show runners revealed via dramatic video footage and a late appearance by the actor himself that Dominic Monaghan will indeed star in ABC’s newest high-concept sci-fi drama, premiering Sept. 24.

Charlie may be dead on Lost (maybe), but Dom is very much alive as Simon, “a game-changer character who f–ks up a lot of things,” as he was described by the ever-pithy show runner David Goyer (Batman Begins, Dark Knight).

Dom joins an all-star cast that includes Star Trek’s John Cho, Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Courtney B. Vance (Law & Order) and another British Lost-ie, Sonya Walger (Penny). Their characters all glimpse their lives six months in the future during two minutes of unconsciousness in which the entire population flashes forward.

So does Dom’s casting mean he definitely won’t return to Lost? Read on to hear how the actor envisions his future…

“When people ask if me I’m coming back to Lost, that’s the equivalent of asking Huckleberry Finn if he’s coming back to Mark Twain,” said Dominic. “I’m a fictional character. I have no control over that.”

When asked whether Flash Forward is really a Lost “companion piece,” as it’s been characterized by the media, the former Hobbit points out that the new ABC show has a “large impressive international cast [and is a] worldwide show a world event with mystery, drama and suspense, but ultimately tells the story through characters. So in that way it’s heavily influenced by Lost.”

“But it’s also its own beast. I just kinda know what you guys know. A world event takes place for about two and a half minutes…Everyone becomes a prophet of their life. It’s just a huge headf–k.”

So why did Dominic choose to play another role on an ABC series? “I want to play someone who’s the opposite of Charlie. [And Flash Forward's Simon] is a man, this guy’s not scared, he’s capable, he’s unflappable, he’s smart, he’s scary, he’s everything that Charlie wasn’t…I love Charlie, that was a time of my life. But it’s important to me to continue to show an audience that I can play more…if no one knows what I’m going to play next, it gives me more choices.”

When asked about coping with his fame, the talk of Comic-Con says, “That is the price I pay for doing the job I love. At some point in the future I’ll probably take a step back. Have babies and make honey.”

Thanks to Laura for the heads up.

The LOST cast is growing anxious to receive the first script of their final season, which goes into production late August. Before they get definitive answers, TV Guide Magazine asked them to come up with their own theories about how the mystery will get resolved.

Josh Holloway (Sawyer)
“There’s got to be a big blow-out war among everybody, and they’re all going to kill each other. There’ll be a few stragglers who have to make a choice, like the way ‘On the Beach’ ended, where the threat blows itself up and people will have to decide whether to stay or go.”

Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet)
“Like the end of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, I think something will happen where we all go back to where we were. Juliet was never brought to the island. The plane never crashes. These people have never met. But because of the odd nature of time, we keep on getting drawn back into the same situation again. So basically, the ending is just another beginning.”

Dominic Monaghan (Charlie)
“The remaining cast decides whether to walk the path of good or bad, and an epic battle reigns. Evangeline Lilly puts in the performance of the year and wins a Golden Globe.”

Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond)
“The resurrection of the dead—with someone singing [Hawaiian farewell song] ‘Aloha ’Oe.’”

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin)
“We all settle into Dharmaville, build our own homes and develop the island into a tourist destination and make millions of dollars.”
