John Noble in Science Channel's "Dark Matters" Premieres Tonight

Science gone awry
‘Fringe’ star gets dark and twisty

A Russian scientist in 1920s Europe tries to create “an army of ape warriors” -- first by artificially inseminating a female chimp with human sperm, then, when that doesn’t work, by reversing the process, implanting ape sperm into a young Russian woman.

Is there any surprise that the person telling us this gruesome and remarkably true tale is John Noble, the star of “Fringe?”

“It was a primitive attempt at genetic manipulation,” says Noble, who plays genius Walter Bishop on the Fox drama and is also hosting “Dark Matters: Twisted But True,” which premieres Wednesday.


WEIRD BUT TRUE: Noble weighs in..
“We’re far more sophisticated these days in terms of our understanding of the human genome. At the time those experiments were done, they didn’t have that knowledge, so they were just trying to cross whatever they could. It raises the question -- why would you want to do it?”

For each of the show’s six hourlong episodes, Noble brings us three true tales of science gone awry, including a scientist who transplanted the head of one monkey onto another, and a woman who was attacked by her own hands.

The show employs re-creations over Noble’s narrative, and hopes to prompt the viewer to contemplate science’s dilemmas.

“The question is, is there anything we shouldn’t approach? Probably not,” says Noble, whose “Fringe” character discovered an alternative universe thanks to the use of LSD. “There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Einstein did: He found a way to allow other scientists to split the atom, and it was a wonderful, exciting time. That fact that it was used for destruction, it doesn’t take away from [what he did], or make it not legitimate and wonderful

John Noble to explore fringe research in freaky new Science Channel show-EXCLUSIVE

John Noble to explore fringe research in freaky new Science Channel show -- EXCLUSIVE
by James Hibberd

How perfect is this: Science Channel is teaming with Fringe star John Noble to host a show about, yup, real-life bizarre experiments.

In Dark Matters, Noble explores the most unusual scientific research ever conducted — including head transplantation studies, actual zombie investigations (!) and attempts to cross-breed humans and those damn dirty apes (trailer below).

“The stories we share in Dark Matters are as outlandish as a great sci-fi script or as disturbing as a classic horror tale — the only difference is that they’re all true,” Noble said. “The series offers a glimpse into the dark side of science, as well as human nature.”
The show will use reenactments and CGI to tell the true stories of sometimes ethically challenged experiments throughout history.

“Dark Matters offers a fascinating insight into moments of scientific history where individuals went to extreme measures to achieve a breakthrough,” said Debbie Adler Myers, general manager and executive vp of Science. “It’s impossible to turn away from these true stories that you always assumed were just outlandish urban legends. This is real science — just the dark side of it, featuring brilliant minds who eventually took a dramatic turn. John Noble is the perfect tour guide to escort viewers through this sordid world of research gone horribly wrong, but in some cases, led us the technology and science that we enjoy today.”

Dark Matters has an initial series order of six episodes and debuts Aug. 31 at 10 p.m.

Exclusive:John Noble Talks 'Fringe' Season 4 and 'The Lord of the Rings' Extended Edition Blu-ray

Exclusive: John Noble Talks 'Fringe' Season 4 and 'The Lord of the Rings' Extended Edition Blu-ray
Wed., Jun. 29, 2011 6:00 PM PDT , by Joseph McCabe

Monday night I was fortunate enough to attend the kick-off party for the brand new The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray at West LA's Best Buy store. Attendees, many of them in costume, were greeted by a special appearance by Rings and Fringe star John Noble, who signed the new box set for the first one hundred and fifty fans in line. And because I love you guys so much, I made sure to ask Noble about the upcoming fourth season of Fringe – as well as about the interesting similarities between his Rings character Denethor and his character on Fringe, Walter Bishop. Find out what Noble had to tell me after the jump.

Right now it seems there are similarities between Denethor and Walter – they've both lost a son and their sanity is sometimes more than a little shaky. If Walter were to give Denethor some advice, what would it be?"Just chill out, man!" [Laughs.] I don't know… There are similarities in the sense that you've got two very proud and powerful men gutted, and having to respond to being gutted. We saw Denethor respond in a certain way. We'll see how the other fellow responds. This'll be a season for discovery.

Anna Torv mentioned to me the other night that she'd like to see how Olivia functions, at least for a little while, without Peter in her life, and to see how that plays out. Is that something you're also curious about for Walter?Oh yeah. See, the thing that rescued Walter, once they pulled him out, the thing that humanized him, was Peter. Finding this relationship with his son, that brought Walter back into the human race. Now if he doesn't have that, if he doesn't have any love in his life, what's going to happen? He's been in an asylum without love in his life all this time, if he's working without love in his life… I hope they give him Jean at least – Jean the cow! No, I am seriously thinking about that, because I know for a while I'm going to have to work on that loveless Walter. And I'm stewing around in my head already. [Laughs.]

Is it possible the grandchild he might have could fill that void in his life?Well, it depends. If there's no Peter then there's no child. It's an interesting point.

Would you like to see new universes on the show, beyond those we've seen already? We know there are two universes, and we actually know this from science. Science will tell us that there are multiple universes. I think that there's a possibility, probably not this season, but… I know that some of the audience is saying "The thing that will save the two universes now is an external threat. That's what brings people together." I've heard this from fans and I think it's very clever. So if these two universes have to meet, what's gonna make them do it? Suddenly, if there's an external threat… I've got my fingers crossed that that'll happen.

Comic-Con 2011:Fringe Coverage and Panel

Comic-Con 2011: Fringe Coverage and Panel
The fate of the world will be determined in the fourth season of Fox's awesome midbender of an acid trip Fringe. What secrets will we learn at the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 panel? Check back often for all our Fringe Comic-Con coverage.

By Kevin Fitzpatrick June 24, 2011

When Fox renewed Fringe for a fourth season, we all breathed a collective sigh of relief...but that sense of security was all but obliterated after we watched the season three finale "The Day We Died." WTF are Walter and Olivia going to do save the world and rescue Peter...again?

But what does John Noble himself have to say to UGO on the presence of Joshua Jackson's Peter Bishop at San Diego Comic-Con 2011 or the series' fourth season? Check it out!

"John Noble: I wish I knew the answer, because I contacted—Josh is my mate—and I said “what’s going on mate? Tell me what’s happening here.” I haven’t heard back from him yet. I saw it in the press release, which came out in the Hollywood Reporter [Joshua Jackson not being listed at Comic-Con] and I thought “everyone’s here but Josh.” And I can’t get an answer, so whether someone’s playing tricks or...what I heard last for sure is Josh obviously is contracted to come back; he’s the lead actor in the show. I don’t know what’s going on, and no one will tell me!

I’ve been trying to pin down the show-running staff, I saw them the other night and I said “I’ve gotta talk to you”; I ran into them Wednesday and I said “I’ve got to talk to you,” and they said “yeah...”; yesterday they stood me up twice, and they’re not talking to me! Then I saw them again last night, and my wife said to them, “you’re upsetting John, he wants to talk to you.” And they laughed. Today apparently they’re going to talk to me. Bad Robot loves to play all of this sort of viral stuff that goes on, which they do so brilliantly. And they know that we’re blabbermouths, so they don’t tell us too much."

Hopefully we'll get some answers at the Fringe panel at San Diego Comic-Con this year. But who's going to be there to give them, when the panel teleports into Ballroom 20 on Saturday, July 23rd at 4:15 - 5:00pm? See for yourself!

•Anna Torv (Olivia Dunham)
•Lance Reddick (Philip Broyles)
•Blair Brown (Nina Sharpe)
•Jasika Nicole (Astrid Farnsworth)
•John Noble (Walter Bishop)
•Jeff Pinkner (Executive Producer)
•J.H. Wyman (Executive Producer)

What?! No Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop)? Is Joshua off filming The Mighty Ducks reboot, or are Fringe fans in for one hell of a special reappearance given what happened to Peter at the end of "The Day We Died?!" Check back often for updates on Fringe at Comic-Con 2011!

Will Emmy voters slap 'Fringe' star John Noble again?

The LA Times has a small piece about John Noble's chances for Emmy nomination:

For three years, television critics and sci-fi fans have been championing John Noble for his impressively creepy work as a mad scientist on "Fringe," which recently received a fourth-season pick-up from Fox. But why hasn't he even been nominated for TV's highest honor -- Emmy?

The answer may be Emmys' long-standing bias against fantasy fare, but other stars have surmounted that in the past. Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson, for instance, have each recently claimed the same Emmy category of supporting drama actor for "Lost."
Now there are hopeful signs that Noble may be taken more seriously as an Emmy candidate this year.

He's received more than 7,700 votes in a Facebook Emmy campaign and he just won the Critics' Choice Television Award. He claimed that prize Monday, which was roughly two-thirds of the way into the Emmy voting period, which ends on Friday at 5 p.m. PDT.
