I was never given the floor from the moderator, but I was able to be a part of a great time with Noah Wyle. One thing that was not directly addressed, was how deeply Wyle is involved in the decision making process with Falling Skies. He makes several comments that sounds like he is involved with scripting, story decisions and even what elements should be cut out.
The first question came from Patrick Douglas with Great Falls Tribune. Who asked Noah to talk about how Falling Skies picks up in the thick of the madness instead of building up to it.
Noah Wyle: Yes, it’s sort of a typical story telling in the sense that we don’t start with everyday life going on business as usual and then suddenly everybody’s eyes turn to the heavens and say, what’s that coming in towards our planet.
We do, we pick up six months into what has been a devastating alien invasion and meet our characters already in a pretty high state of disarray which is kind of exciting storytelling because it allows you the opportunity to fill in the back story through episodic storytelling and also opens up the possibility of being able to track back in time down the road if it seems (dramatically) appropriate.
