Hi Fringies!
Over the past few weeks, we at OTFA held a contest asking you to create your vision for a Fringe movie. I personally wanted to create something, but I didn’t want to submit anything while the contest was ongoing. I would’ve been disqualified anyway (our female team members also threatened to beat me up…not sure how that works over the internet). At any rate, I’ve held off until after the contest, until now. . . .

In discussions I've had in the past, and also in reading fan suggestions for a Fringe movie, it seems that there are a lot of Fringies who would like to see what happens after the series ends; a movie where they bring Walter back from the future to the present. I just can't see how that story could contain enough excitement to fill an entire movie, especially if there's no Walter there for the majority of the time (I need the comedic relief that only he can provide)!
No, I'd like to see a movie with all of the main characters and also contain the same feeling that Fringe brought every Friday night. There is a huge gap in the Fringe timeline between seasons 4 and 5 that could easily fill a feature presentation: the Observer takeover!
My idea is about what happens after the events season 4, starting with the birth of Etta, up to the point where the Fringe team encases themselves in amber. I want to see the specific events that occurred so that Olivia wasn't with the rest of the team when they did. I want to see why William Bell was helping (or was he?) the team when they foiled his plans at the end of season 4 and he vanished. I want to see more of the invasion as described by Simon in "Letters of Transit." I want to see what role Sam Weiss played (though I forgot to add the actor's name to my credits). I want to see September's punishment and transformation into Donald, and him helping Walter. All this and much more!
And now, my vision for the poster:

| Yes, Leonard Nimoy is in my movie. It's hypothetical. Let me have my dream, dang it! |
What do you think? Is there anything that you would want to see in this imaginary movie? Leave a comment below!
