Je l'ai pris comme si elle disait qu'elle écrivait le premier épisode d'une série. Mais ça me semble improbable. Ne me demandez pas pourquoi.

Nope, la version écrite est formelle. A moins qu'elle ne se soit trompée de termes à employer, qu'elle lisait le pilote d'un proche ... Mais dans ce cas, je ne vois pas l'intérêt de le mentionner. Quel est le rapport avec sa carrière ? Donc, je suis d'avis qu'elle écrivait effectivement un pilote. Travaillerait-elle avec Paul Scheuring sur AR2 ??

Full version of Q&A with Matt Olmstead, including spoilers on T-Bag's fate.
The executive producer of the Fox series talks about the series' upcoming final episodes
The Fox series Prison Break will be coming to an end after four seasons, with the last five episodes starting on Friday, April 17 at 9 PM ET, with the winter finale airing right before at 8 PM ET. Executive producer Matt Olmstead recently held a conference call to discuss the end of the series, and here' what he had to say.
I'm sure this is going to be a question out of everybody so I'll get it out of the way. How did you get the news about the cancellation and how did you feel about it?
Matt Olmstead: We kind of knew all along that this season was most likely going to be our last and then when the show premiered along with, I would say, most shows took a bit of a hit in the ratings and that kind of coincided with us storytelling-wise in terms of what we had left in the tank. So, we knew at the very beginning of the season that we weren't going to hold back anything and use up all the ideas that we had and not to worry about setting up for a fifth season.
So, as the season progressed it became increasingly clear that it was going to be our last season and also it turned out to be kind of a benefit to us in that we were able to really set up things that were going to pay off at the end of the season and what would be the end of the series. So, we have some last images, last storylines that take place at the season finale, series finale, were set up at the beginning of the season.
So, it was a bit of a luxury in the sense that we had the time to platform the ending as opposed to going on hiatus like some shows have to do and wait to hear if you're going to come back or not and you don't and you don't have a chance to wrap up a serial-like show, which deserves to be wrapped up properly.
And at the end of the series is there a small door left open for any follow-up movies or anything like that down the line?
Matt Olmstead: I think there always is. Some people don't make it, but not to say that there couldn't be, if there was an appetite for it, some form of the show or a standalone episode or a movie type of thing. There's always that possibility.
I was wondering what you could tease about any returning faces we might see during these last few episodes.
Matt Olmstead: The mom character, the revelation that we put in the last episode and she plays a big part of the last few episodes, a lot of secrets are revealed and Michael and Lincoln are certainly shook in terms of who they are, where they came from and at a certain point they're wondering is this the truth or are they trying to be divided and conquered, so to speak.
Then we have a big surprise reveal, which I won't tell you who it is, but a returning character who comes in and late in the game when the wheels are coming off everybody he's either there to save the day or to hijack the whole thing for his or her own benefit. So the big reveal of a returning character that having viewed it, obviously, pays off very nicely.
And that one is an actual reveal and not like what we did with Westmoreland earlier? It's an actual return.
Matt Olmstead: It's an actual return, correct.
And then what can you say about Prison Break, the Final Break? What is that and when would it take place and when might people see it?
Matt Olmstead: What happened was when we were breaking the episodes we had a storyline that we didn't know where, it didn't really fit. It kept getting moved along down the episodes as the season went along. Then we had a conversation with the studio in terms of, this is really a cool story that we want to tell and it plays standalone, which would be a two-hour. So they, the studio, and we creatively went ahead and did it for episodes 23 and 24, not knowing for sure where it would air, network or whatever, but knowing that it would certainly in some or fashion because the story for us was really compelling and also having viewed that in its entirety, that paid off and was a good idea.
So, I'm not really concerned where or when it airs. It will be at some point be viewed by the fans and hopefully it will be worthwhile for them. What it is basically is episode 22, which is the series finale, network finale for now. Everything gets wrapped up and then in the last act there's a jump forward like four years from now. We show the characters where they are and some have won, lost; it's bittersweet and this two-hour that we had in mind, or the next couple of episodes that we had in mind, kind of plays in that middle period, that wrinkle in time.
So, it plays really well having viewed the whole finale, episode 22, because now it's kind of a jump back in time and answers some questions. But not wanting to rip off the audience we didn't do it where episode 22 plays like a cliffhanger like, now you have to watch the episodes because we didn't want to infuriate the audience in terms of it plays as a completely satisfying ending and just so happens that these extra two hours also play well.
I was wondering if it hadn't been coming to an end do you think it could have gone on? Would you have had more stories or had you sort of come to it, the creative exhaustion of the possibilities for escaping and re-entering?
Matt Olmstead: I think we did have conversations early on in terms of what if and they were fairly brief conversations. That's why we went pretty much very quickly to this being the last season and how to really play off. The ideas that were tossed around in terms of what could be a season five were pretty thin. And my fear is that even if it went that way it would have limped out; it wouldn't have gone out strong and just having been to the wrap party that everybody went to, there was a real feeling of accomplishment and there was no sense of we got caught short or it was we could have had more years or we wished we had more years. It felt like the story played out and there was, having looked at the series finale, the four years, the four seasons play as a piece, as opposed to this season strung along and ultimately kind of fading out. I really don't know yet, we tossed ideas around, but it was a very short conversation because nothing really took hold in terms of inspiring anybody.
And going in when you first started did you think there would be, did you see and ending earlier?
Matt Olmstead: What's funny is that when I first met with Paul Scheuring and Don Perusay when they had filmed the pilot and were looking for someone to come in and help out they had in mind kind of a first and second season and the running joke was that no one knew what season three was yet here we were able to do season four. Everybody knew there was an expiration date on the show; it wasn't obviously a cop procedural, which could have a long lifeline.
I give credit to both the studio network for signing off now because they knowingly signed off on a show that had certainly a finite lifeline to it and it was not going to be, by any means, a ten-year show. So I give credit to them in terms of supporting a show that they knew was going to burn brightly, but burn quickly.
Is this the ending you were always working towards despite the amount of time you were given when you found out you were being canceled?
Matt Olmstead: There were certain things that in terms of Michael's fate, Lincoln's fate, Sara's fate, all the characters' fates, that we had tossed around as the show went along. Down the road I always wonder what's going to happen, where will we be? So it was kind of a little bit of a game that we had in terms of what are the last images you want for the show? Obviously that kind of got more traction this season when we knew this was going to be it. Having viewed the ending, which is an ending that was suggested in the writer's room and built upon pretty early in this season and we have these ten big white boards that we write a lot of stuff down on and put down a quick list of where we wanted to see everybody in this jump ahead four years down the road. It pretty much stayed the same throughout the whole season. No one got erased or no one got, we added a couple, but it really executed what we really wanted to do I think, like I said, pretty early in the season so it wasn't a scramble at the end. It was satisfying in that as I mentioned earlier, the stuff that we set up early in the season paid off handsomely at the end of the season.
What can you tell us about how Michael's and Sara's story line is going to be wrapped up?
Matt Olmstead: I'll tell you this. It's wrapped up unexpectedly because for a while there they were, just for like an episode or so, it felt like they were kind of Bonnie and Clyde. It worked for one episode, which is kind of coming up. It was that same fear of what do you do with two characters that there's a real charged, fresh aspect to their relationship if they're stuck together do they become the Lockhorns? What are they going to do after a while? That's kind of the reason why in season three we had her character "killed" because there's almost a disservice to the actor and the character like what are we going to do with her once they're together because there's always been walls between them?
So, we found a way in this season for this kind of torture that she suffered at the hands of Gretchen and company in season three off-screen that helped kind of put this new wall between her and Michael and it's a wall that inhibits their intimacy and finally at the end of the season I can say that wall comes down, but there are unexpected ramifications to that. So, what seems like two people are joined at the hip want the same thing there's a bunch of curve balls that are thrown at them in the finale. Ultimately it's bittersweet, but very satisfying.
What's the one thing that you wished could have happened in the story throughout the season?
Matt Olmstead: There's one thing I wish we could have done is film more at night. And that was really the only thing I wish for because having seen the finale and then what turned into two extra episodes everything paid out. Having viewed it with the rest of the writers, many of whom have been there since day one, we knew each other and it was like we did the best we could do. There are absolutely no regrets.

So, as I look back on this there are no real missed opportunities for me and the only thing is kind of budgetary-wise we were always proud of the fact that we stayed on budget for a couple different reasons. So we were unable to film at night, much as we did season one and for a visual aspect for me that was basically the one thing I wish we could do more. But in terms of storytelling or getting an actor or any of that kind of stuff, I sincerely have no regrets.
You mentioned that there might be a TV movie or a standalone episode in the future. I was wondering what's the plan for the Prison Break spin-off?
Matt Olmstead: There's no plan for a Prison Break spin-off. We did a script for what would be establishing a character in season three, a female character and then getting her off into essentially a female prison show. There were a couple hurdles involved and we couldn't get the actress, the strike happened and when we came back the show was in its last season. The Sarah Connor Chronicles wasn't doing that great and there's a host of reasons why that idea, that project, cooled. Who's to say if it could get a spark again. I'm not counting on it. My days aren't based around it. But for me the show's done and I would comment on the question of is there a chance that there could be a standalone. There's always a chance, but nothing, certainly, in the planning stage.
So a spin-off's not officially dead, though.
Matt Olmstead: It's on the ground, legs twitching, but you know there's still a heartbeat perhaps.
I was wondering how early on you thought of how these guys would eventually have their mother pop into the show.
Matt Olmstead: The mother idea was one that was, there were probably three or four ideas this season that were kind of back-pocket ideas that someone would have mentioned early on, even in season two or season three a what if, and it just went away because there was no need for it. Then when things started to gain momentum in this season I was looking for that big card to turn that could have major ramifications. That idea was revisited.
And once we did it fell together pretty quickly and actually dovetailed nicely into kind of the mythology that we had already set up and complications that we already set up and the differences between Michael and Lincoln and so it was something that was brought up that we revisited and it worked out nicely.
I wanted to ask about the differences between Michael and Lincoln because they have always seemed so different. I was really surprised that Michael seemed a lot like the mother that we've seen just a speck of here. Michael doesn't at all. He's a very hard-nosed guy. How do you explain how little he seems to have in common with this super bright woman who's his mother?
Matt Olmstead: That will be explored the next couple episodes leading up until the last episode. We wanted to get someone, cast an actress, which I think we did quite successfully, who would be similar to Michael in the same way that the actor we hired to play their dad was kind of, Lincoln clearly was a chip off that block. So, this is the kind of female equivalent of Michael, which we really haven't seen. That in itself is interesting to us, but also there are some things about who they are that is called into question. That whole family dynamic's explored in the next couple episodes.
One thing I'm getting a lot of questions people want to know from you is what happened to L.J.?
Matt Olmstead: Funny you should ask. The question was posed earlier about any regrets. There weren't any regrets, but the only actor we couldn't get was Marshall (Allman). We wanted to bring him back for a couple episodes, but it was later in the season and there was a schedule conflict and we couldn't get him and his character gets addressed going forward. In terms of the show the character lives on, but we weren't able to get him in terms of showing where is he now type of deal.
But, yes, he's been really an important part of the show and a good guy about it because his character ping-pongs back and forth in terms of a couple of episodes here, a couple of episodes there. He's been a very good sport about it. Unfortunately we couldn't get our schedules to coincide. We couldn't get him for now, but his character is addressed.
Would you like to work with some of the cast again on a new project?
Matt Olmstead: Very much so. Having been on a couple shows now you can really appreciate there's a special quality to someone who has a couple different things going for them, which is talent, but also professionalism and in a television show it's, I hate to say required, because shows do go along with actors who have one of the other, neither or both, but having been working with people like Bill Fichtner and Robert Knepper, it's been a real joy. I think the same holds true for them. I think that their experiences have been good on the show as well.
I thought I heard talk somewhere that there was somebody that you wanted to kill in the finale, but Fox wasn't crazy about it so you had to change plans. Is there any truth to that?
Matt Olmstead: Actually they came around. There was kind of a polarized viewpoint over at Fox in terms of killing for preserving a character and we made our pitch and turned in the script. They saw the merit in it and so they were completely on board.
I'm just wondering if you'd discuss what you think the show's biggest leap of logic over the years has been. Is there one that even you've got to admit was just --?
Matt Olmstead: Yes. It's Michael getting a tattoo removed overnight at the beginning of this season. Wentworth was developing a skin irritation to having this thing applied to his body constantly, which I can get, even like the ones that were just on his arm. So we had to figure out a way; instead of him wearing long-sleeved shirts all the time can we zap the tattoo?
Since they were working for the government we kind of fudged it a little bit where he was in a super-secret tattoo removal place ten miles from South Dakota, but who knows. So we established that and it went away. It was a little bit of a wank. When I look at the other ones that we did I obviously don't, we took a lot of those, but the momentum of the show I think accommodated that. This one for me was a little bit tough to swallow.
With all the double-crossing and kidnapping that's been going on why hasn't anyone in the company gone after C-Note and his family to use as leverage against Michael?
Matt Olmstead: When we last saw C-Note had gone into witness protection and also there's not a lot of love between C-Note and Michael in terms of that's when the guys with the shotgun marriage essentially in Fox River, they needed each other. So it's not like getting hold of Sucre and threatening Sucre's family, whatever. I don't think C-Note still carried that kind of currency when it comes to Michael. Not to say that he couldn't play a big part in the last two episodes.
So overall he's basically the only escapee that's free and clear, right?
Matt Olmstead: Yes. We wanted that to happen in a way because of all the things that are going on in season two where people were getting clipped and a lot of hardship was being endured, that moment of C-Note walking in with his wife and looking over his shoulder and gone. You wanted that one person to fly over the cuckoo's nest.
I've got to ask about T-Bag. He's got to be one of the most memorable villains ever in TV history. I know you can't give it away, but how could you wind his story up? He's managed to survive this long.
Matt Olmstead: He has been like a real cockroach, but in what I've been referring to as this four-year jump cut ahead, when you see T-Bag and when we screened it for the cast and crew at the wrap party the crowd erupted. Obviously he's a big fan favorite, but it's a bit heartbreaking to see where he ends up. But it makes perfect sense. All I can say is when you see it, if you do get a chance to see it, let me know. I think we did a really good job with where he, what his ultimate fate is.
It's a memorable character.
Matt Olmstead: I agree.
I hope he can find work again.
Matt Olmstead: It's a little bit like the wicked witch. There are certain character actors who are defined by that one role, but thankfully he's been smart about it. He's been doing movies on the side, and already has a movie that he's doing right now so I would certainly bet on Rob Knepper. He'll do well.
Do you have any closing remarks?
Matt Olmstead: Yes. I would just like to thank everybody for their support. I know, having been a journalism major myself, you have to be very objective, but then sometimes you do encounter people who have a real enthusiasm for the show and that can be expressed and certainly appreciated.
The show certainly had a graphic novel feel to it and not everything was perfect, but having looked at it as a whole I'm very proud of the work that we all did on it and I think that it'll be looked on as a pretty good piece, these four years we'll look back on favorably for whatever that's worth, to whatever extent that the nice words that were written about the show it got back to us and in times when we were beating our heads against the wall trying to figure out what to do next it was certainly appreciated.
So, just on a personal level I certainly appreciate it. I know the others did as well.
Prison Break wraps up its fourth and final season with the last five episodes that start on Friday, April 17 at 9 PM ET and ends with the two-hour series finale on Friday, May 15 at 8 PM ET on Fox.

Wentworth Miller - Michael Scofield
Re: the finale reunites Michael and Lincoln with some old friends “In the finale we see a couple of very familiar faces, people we thought were gone for good but clearly were not, but we’re glad to see them. I mean as actors you miss cast members who fall by the wayside for one reason or another and I think that the people we do get to say hello to and catch up with were, were fixtures the first season and second season, people whose presence was felt and was definitely missed after they were gone.”
Re: knowing this season was going to be "Prison Break's" last It’s very rare the show goes out on its own terms, you know, when you hear the word cancelled most of the time that means, you know, someone’s gonna pull the plug and the lights go out and everyone goes home. But we were able to finish out the season and that gave the writers time to address all the loose ends and really pull things together in a way that I hope is thrilling and satisfying for an audience that’s been paying their dues if you will for four years. I think they deserve a really good send off and that’s what we’re working hard to give ‘em.
Re: what we can expect from the series finale When I think of the last episode I think there were definitely some surprises and some, some, some really electric unexpected moments. Again the show continues to surprise me in that we are a network show but we do things that you’d expect to see on cable, say, and not everyone gets a happy ending and I think some people might be taken aback by that but I think it’s also very true to the story that we’ve been telling all along. In a sense the story can only end one way and I’m really pleased that the writers and the cast and crew and everyone involved in the show have the cajones to really see it through.
Re: why he's loved the "Prison Break" storyline “It’s not a procedural drama. It’s not the same beats season after season. We intentionally throw out everything that we know works and reinvent ourselves every fall and we take risks like nobody else and I think by and large they’ve all paid off and the, the important side effect is that it keeps things interesting and new and fresh for the actors involved.”
Robert Knepper - Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell
Re: How did it feel to film the final episodes? “Like I’ll never forget the day, the last day I knew was going to shoot with Dom & Wentworth; I mean that was a really emotional day for the three of us. They still had another day with the two of them but that was the day that I would never work with them again, with these characters. And we hugged each other and it was very emotional, close experience as well as the words that poured back and forth between us of telling each other how much we respected each other and what an amazing ride it’s been for four years, stuff like that, it was just sweet. And then, to say goodbye to this crew, it’s been an amazing ride. You could just go through these jobs, I suppose, and say well you know here’s the end of this job and off we go to the next one, but this one you can’t really do that. You wouldn’t be somebody I’d want to work with for instance because you can’t be bitter about these things. This was four years of our lives, I mean, I looked at my kid the other day and I went, I’ve been doing this show more than half of his lifetime, four years, he’s almost seven. Every day that I went to work was a joy because you just realized I am so thankful for this great gig, this incredible character, the fact that it’s internationally so popular, it was a new adventure everyday. So, the bitter part of it, the sad part of it for me was yeah that it’s over, the sweet part about it is that we always appreciated everyday and it was a great lesson I think for all of us to just say this is a great way to live your life…never take it for granted, always appreciate it and keep giving back what’s been given to you and that’s how we lived ours lives on this show.”
Re: Reflects on his character & what he loves about T-Bag “Even on a simpler level, he just doesn’t give up, this guy never was a quitter and that’s one of the things I loved about this character. If he hadn’t had all these other terrible things happen to him as a kid, if he hadn’t committed all these terrible crimes, he’d be a great role model, but unfortunately he’s got the baggage and you have to pay for these things in life. He never gives up; he will do and say anything to survive, up until the last moment that you see him in the story. I’m not going to give it away but he doesn’t lie down and take it, he figures out a way to survive.”
Re: The reunion of old characters in the finale “I think it was a great homecoming and I think the audience will feel the same way. The other cool thing about it is when you have a family reunion like that you know that there’s going to be a big change involved. In this case, the change was this is the end. This is the end of this show, this is wrapping it up in that book end kind of feeling of characters that we all grew to love over the years and here we are bringing them back. It was amazing; it brought back all these memories of being together in Chicago when we all started and we, yeah again, four years…a lot’s happened to all of us, it’s made our careers, it’s made our lives totally different. None of us can walk down the streets anymore without causing a little bit of a fuss and just to see these guys again after that first year when we basically were kids, kids with our characters. And just to see, you know, Amaury I hadn’t seen for awhile and Rockmund I hadn’t seen and especially Rock, it’s like hey man how are you? And we love each other you know with our characters always hate each other and there’s all these racial things going back and forth between the two characters but he’s the salt of the earth and I love working with him and he’s funny that always passes the times really well. And Papi, Amaury, it’s like seeing your brother, it doesn’t take too long to get back on your feet with somebody like that cause he’s just always right there, it’s terrific. And I think the audience is going to love the fact that these enemies come back together. These guys who were friends and then with T-Bag with enemies so it should be a fun reunion for everybody.”
Re: What he thought of the ending, finale? “I remember calling up Matt on the phone and saying, I’m just curious, I never call you up, I never discuss what’s the next script or anything but I’m kind of curious where you’re thinking we’re going to go with T-Bag. Is he going to be like Hannibal Lecter and just walk off into the sunset in this nice, late Panamanian suit, hat and stuff. Or, is he going to be killed, is he going to walk off a cliff, is he going to drown, is he…I mean there were so many choices, again I’m not going to give it away because it’d be like, you know, I used to say this years ago it’d be like giving a Christmas present too early. As much as people want to know, they don’t want to know they want to experience it by watching it, there’s nothing like that. I was very happy, I was very happy with how they ended it, I think it’s beautifully done all the characters are wrapped up. I was very happy how they ended it for T-Bag, it was really kind of a book end kind of feel that you, certain things in that scene that re reminiscent of when you first saw T-Bag four years ago. These sort of gestures and body language that are so much part of the character that the fans will always associate with this guy

Deux it de Olmestad :
Spoiler:
Fox's Prison Break wrapped up its four-year run (and run, and run, and run...) on Friday night, as Michael finally decided into whose hands he could entrust Scylla. Along the way, a pair of familiar faces resurfaced, justice was meted out, and, in a four-year flash-forward, a variety of fates were revealed.
It was during that epilogue that the producers uncorked one final — and fatal — twist. If you have finished watching the two-hour series-ender, read on for executive producer Matt Olmstead's answers to the burning questions you likely have.
TVGuide.com: At what point during the four-year run did you decide that Michael would die in the end? Matt Olmstead: At the beginning of this season, we had a debate about it. I was on NYPD Blue and I came on during Season 6, which was Jimmy Smits' last arc — and it was some of the best TV ever. They had the thought that when a character goes that's beloved, if you drop a safe on his head, the audience is going to hate you, because they haven't had a chance to mourn. So let's show up early that the character has a [health] problem. [NYPD Blue creator] David [Milch] did it brilliantly [with Smits' character dying of heart failure], and I always remembered that. So when we met with the writers after the [WGA] strike, we asked ourselves: Is Michael going to last? Either way, let's [give him] a nosebleed in Episode 1. That way we can kind of suggest that something's up, and it also gives us the opportunity to play some scenes — if we want to go down this road — where Sara can mourn it, Lincoln's aware of it, and the audience is aware of it. Then they too have a chance to mourn the loss.
TVGuide.com: What was Wentworth Miller's take on the matter? Olmstead: He ultimately liked it. He had heard rumblings, and when that script went out, a complimentary email came back from him, because he saw the merits of it. The idea of Michael not making it stemmed from a conversation he and I had in Season 2. He said that at this point [Michael's] hands were as dirty as anyone's, and that was something we addressed along the way, this mounting guilt. "I broke my brother out of prison, the ramifications of which have included people getting killed" — neither he the actor nor the character were ignorant or dismissive of that. So the idea of a finale where [in the coda] he doesn't make it but everyone else does was the right ending for him as an actor. For Michael to have traipsed off into the sunset with Sara may have seemed a little like, "Hey, good for you guys."
TVGuide.com: But the network fought you on the death, right? Olmstead: It was split over there; half the people wanted to see Sara and Michael together, and half saw the merit in Michael not making it. Once they saw the scripts, they agreed unilaterally that it was the right move to make.
TVGuide.com: It should be noted that Michael is alive in Prison Break: The Final Break (a two-hour standalone movie slated for a July 21 DVD release). Olmstead: Right. The Final Break takes place shortly after everyone's exoneration, so we go back and see Michael alive.
TVGuide.com: That was a nice little wink you had there with Michael Jr. getting a fake tattoo. Olmstead: Yeah, it was [writer/co-executive producer] Nick Santora who had that idea.
TVGuide.com: Let's talk about the returns. Did Paul Adelstein (now on Private Practice) foresee your phone call coming? I have always told him that Kellerman would one day resurface. Olmstead: I've run into him occasionally, and I'd say, "One day you'll get a phone call." He was always enthusiastic about it. We didn't know obviously what the storyline was going to be, but we increasingly wanted to save it for the finale.
TVGuide.com: Rockmund Dunbar [who plays C-Note], I have to imagine, was a bit more surprised. Olmstead: I think so. We knew that this was [the end], and who did we the writers want to see back? Who would make a nice impact in terms of the viewers? We didn't want to just bring him back in a service role; we wanted him to come back for a plot twist.
TVGuide.com: Did you consider bringing back Patricia Wettig's disgraced President Caroline Reynolds? Olmstead: No, no.... That character is done.
TVGuide.com: And were none of the various Maricruz actresses available? Olmstead: We thought about it, but all that we really see is probably her holding the child, or saying one line. It just wasn't worth our while — and I doubt the actresses would have been interested either.
TVGuide.com: Robert Knepper told TV Guide Network's Hollywood 411 that the fate you chose for T-Bag was the "greatest" of all the options. Olmstead: I think it was very poetic. For us [the coda] was the right combination of people getting just desserts, sweet surprises and tragedy. People were saying that you couldn't have T-Bag still on the loose, that you couldn't do the Hannibal Lecter version of it, because that would put a black mark on Michael. That he unleashed this monster on the world. Nor could you kill T-Bag, because ironically he was too loved by the audience. So we put him back where he started, but with a heartache. He overhears this thing about GATE and it strikes a chord. It reminds him of what he almost had.
TVGuide.com: That was an interesting romantic twist you did there with Mahone. Olmstead: That was one of the surprises. Here he is, sending a birthday card to his ex-wife, yet now he's with his former [FBI] colleague [Felicia Lang]. We provide more "what happened" information on that in The Final Break.
TVGuide.com: When last you and I spoke, you said that Michael's overnight tattoo removal was your least-proud moment. Looking back on the show's run, what are you most proud of? Olmstead: The thing I am by far the most proud of is that the [writing] staff was pretty much the same through all four years. There were people who were there from the beginning to the very end — Zack Estrin, Nick Santora, Karyn Usher — and we had other writers who came up through writers' assistants and then got staffed — Seth Hoffman, Kalinda Vazquez, Christian Trokey.... It was a very tight group, and everything was done collectively, because it is such a serialized show. Every outline was tabled as a group, every script was tabled as a group, every cut was watched as a group.... We got to see people evolve and flourish and evolve, and as luxury to me, I had eight people who were all heavy hitters. At the beginning of this season, we were at a crossroads with the network and the studio — it was post-strike, an accelerated process — about what we were going to do. We had to really show them something, and everybody pitched in and we solved it.
TVGuide.com: Is there any ratings number you can hit with the series finale that will get The Final Break broadcast on Fox? Olmstead: I really don't know. I don't even know if they've seen it, being busy preparing for the [May 18] upfronts. But we're really proud of it, and I hope you like it.

Spoiler:
I know. Since Prison Break concluded its four-year run tonight by sending its chiseled protagonist to the big slammer in the sky, you're grieving. You want answers. You want justice. You want someone to pay.
Would you settle for answers?
'Cause that's all I've got. But at least there are a lot of 'em, straight from executive producer Matt Olmstead. Read 'em and... oh, I see. You're already weeping. Well, read 'em, anyway. Maybe it'll help.
Why'd you have to kill him?! MATT OLMSTEAD: It started as a discussion with Wentwoth [Miller] around Season 2. He brought up a good point: His character's hands are as dirty as anyone's. If you look at the initial act that he committed -- robbing a bank to get into prison to break his brother out -- there were ramifications to that; a lot of people got hurt. Not by them, but when they rattled the cage of the company that was after them, the body count started to pile out. And Michael was aware of this. And we've addressed his guilt throughout the show. But at a certain point, it felt nobler to have the character die so that others could live. It just felt a little weird for us to have Michael and Sara holding hands on the beach walking away -- though that would be gratifying in the moment. Knowing that there was pretty much a scorched path behind them in terms of what happened, [having him die] balanced the books for us. He also paid the ultimate sacrifice and, in doing so, everyone else close to him wa! s able to live, including his child.
Michael-Sara fans will argue that they deserved a happy ending after watching these two go to hell and back for four seasons. What would you say to them? OLMSTEAD: For me, it is a happy ending. Look at the very first episode of the season when Michael realizes Sara's alive. They have a chance to run away, and they both elect not to because, as two people of conscience, they can't live with what they both now have experienced. And at the end of the finale, when they're on the beach and talking about the baby that's coming, that's a huge victory in that they both stood their ground and, with the help of other people, brought down the ultimate antagonist. So they have their moment.
Can we assume that we'll learn more about the ultimate sacrifice Michael made in the two-hour direct-to-DVD prequel movie [due July 28]? OLMSTEAD: Yes, it dramatizes what happened to Michael. The nose bleed that reared its ugly head at the end of [tonight's finale] was a factor in his ultimate demise in that he knew that he probably didn't have that long to live, but it wasn't the sole factor. It informed certain decisions that lead to his demise.
The two-hour movie picks up right after the finale, right? OLMSTEAD: Yeah, it takes place fairly soon after they're exonerated.
What's the premise? OLMSTEAD: Sara is on the hook for [killing] Michael's mother and she gets locked up while pregnant. The tables are turned  once a doctor in prison now imprisoned, and Michael's on the outside. The majority of the cast is back. It's Michael, Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, T-Bag, Mahone... all the heavy-hitters.
Seeing Paul Adelstein back as Kellerman was a nice surprise. How'd that come about? OLMSTEAD: We reached out to Paul and pitched him the idea of what his character would be doing, and he liked it very much. And then I told him that we would be jumping ahead four years to show where all the characters are, and I asked him where he would want [Kellerman] to be; he was included in the [creative process]. We traded a lot of e-mails and the ideas ran the gamut. We ultimately arrived at what it was, which is he rose to a position of power, but that the widow of his [former] partner that he killed revisits him. In the scene I wrote, she spits on his shoes. [On the day of shooting], I got a call from the director, Kevin Hooks, and he said, "Paul's here, and he [thinks] she would spit in his face." And I said, "Have at it." So she spit in his face. And then he's in the limo afterward and you can see that private moment where [he realizes] he can never outrun his past. That's one of my favorite sequences in the flash-forward. He played the self-loathing and regret be! autifully.
Did you encounter any problems getting ABC to loan him to you since he's now on Private Practice? OLMSTEAD: Everybody was very accommodating, and I think it all stems from a universal goodwill towards Paul as a person. He's a really good guy and people wanted to do him a favor. And we were able to get all his scenes done in one day.
Was there anyone you wanted to get back for the finale and couldn't? OLMSTEAD: The only person we couldn't get was Marshall Allman, who played Lincoln's son. We would have loved to have gotten him.
Looking back on the four seasons, anything you would have done differently? OLMSTEAD: I don't have a whole lot of regrets. [Another journalist] wrote that we left it all out on the field by the end of the series, and I feel the same way. Every story was exhausted. Every creative juice wrung out. It was a completely worthwhile experience, and I know the other writers [agree]. It was a difficult show to pull off, and we did it.

ATTENTION, cet article contient des spoilers de la fin de la saison 4.
Pourquoi avez-vous dû le tuer ?!
MATT OLMSTEAD : On en a discuté avec Wentworth Miller pendant la saison 2. Il a évoqué un point positif : les mains de son personnage étaient aussi souillées que celles de n'importe quel autre. Si vous regardez l'acte initial qu'il a commis -- voler une banque pour entrer dans la prison afin de faire s'évader son frère -- il y avait des signes à cela ; beaucoup de personnes ont été blessées. Quand il a commencé à gêner la Compagnie qui était après lui, le nombre de morts a commencé à s'accumuler, et Michael se rendait compte de cela. Nous avons souligné sa culpabilité tout au long de la série. Mais à un certain point, il a ressenti le besoin de faire mourir son personnage afin que d'autres puissent vivre. Il nous a juste semblé étrange pour nous que Michael et Sara se tiennent la main sur la plage marchant loin -- bien que ce soit agréable à ce moment. En sachant qu'il y avait des chemins tortueux derrière eux, l'avoir fait mourir équilibre la balance pour nous. Il a également payé le sacrifice final et, de cette manière, tous ceux de son entourage pouvaient vivre, y compris son enfant.
Prison Break Saison 4
Les fans du couple Michael-Sara commenteront le fait qu'ils ont mérité une fin heureuse après les allers-retours en enfer pendant quatre saisons. Que leur diriez-vous ?
OLMSTEAD : Pour moi, c'est une fin heureuse. Regardez le tout premier épisode de la saison où Michael réalise que Sara est vivante. Ils ont une chance de s'enfuir, et ils ont tous les deux décidé de ne pas le faire parce que, en tant que personnes consciencieuses, ils ne pouvaient pas vivre avec ce qu'ils avaient éprouvé. Et à la fin du finale, quand ils sont sur la plage parlant du bébé qui va naître, qui est une victoire énorme puisqu'ils sont restés fidèles et, avec l'aide d'autres personnes, ils ont tué le dernier antagoniste. Ainsi ils ont eu leur moment.
Pouvons-nous supposer que nous en apprendrons plus au sujet du sacrifice final que Michael fait dans le prologue de deux heures qui va sortir en DVD (sortie repoussée au 28 juillet aux USA) ?
OLMSTEAD : Oui, cela dramatise ce qui est arrivé à Michael. Le sang qui coule de son nez à la fin de l'épisode final était un indice sur son décès, il savait qu'il ne lui restait plus longtemps à vivre. Mais ce n'était pas l'unique indice. Le film s'intéressera sur certaines décisions qu'il va prendre et qui vont le mener à sa mort.
Le film de deux heures reprend juste après le final, c'est cela ?
OLMSTEAD : Oui, il reprendra peu de temps après.
Quelle est la suite?
OLMSTEAD : Sara est prête à tuer la mère de Michael et elle est enfermée alors qu'elle est enceinte. Les rôles sont inversés... Le docteur est en prison alors que Michael est à l'extérieur. La majorité du casting sera de retour : Michael, Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, T-Bag, Mahone... tous les gros personnages.
Voir revenir Paul Adelstein alias Kellerman était une belle surprise. Comment avez-vous fait?
OLMSTEAD : Nous avons discuté avec Paul et avons lancé l'idée de ce que son personnage ferait, et il a beaucoup aimé. Je lui ai alors annoncé que nous sauterions quatre ans pour montrer ce que les personnages seraient devenus, et je lui ai demandé où il voudrait être; il a donc été inclus dans la réalisation. Nous avons échangé beaucoup d'emails et les idées ont fusé. Nous sommes finalement arrivés à ce qu'il voulait, c'est à dire avoir une position de puissance, mais c'est à ce moment que la veuve de son ancien partenaire qu'il a tué le revisite. Dans la scène que j'ai écrite, elle devait cracher sur ses chaussures. Le jour du tournage, j'ai reçu un appel du réalisateur, Kevin Hooks, et il a dit, « Paul est ici, et il pense qu'elle devrait lui cracher au visage. » Et j'ai dit, « pas de problème. » Ça été chose faite. Après cela, alors qu'il est dans la limousine, vous pouvez voir qu'à ce moment, il réalise qu'il ne pourra jamais revenir sur son passé. C'est l'une de mes séquences préférés dans le flash-forward (flash sur le futur). Il a joué l'auto-répugnance et le regret admirablement.
Avez-vous rencontré des problèmes pour obtenir qu'ABC vous le prête puisqu'il joue maintenant dans Private Practice?
OLMSTEAD : Tout le monde était très conciliant, et je pense qu'ils ont tous fait preuve de bonne volonté envers Paul. C'est vraiment un bon garçon et les gens ont voulu lui faire cette faveur. Nous avons pu faire toutes ses scènes en un jour.
Y avait-il quelqu'un que vous vouliez récupérer pour le final et que vous n'avez pas pu ?
OLMSTEAD : La seule personne que nous ne ne pouvions pas avoir était Marshall Allman, qui a joué le fils de Lincoln. Nous aurions vraiment aimé l'avoir.
En regardant maintenant les quatre saisons, y a-t-il quelque chose que vous auriez fait différemment ?
OLMSTEAD : Je n'ai pas beaucoup de regrets. Toutes les histoires étaient épuisées. Toutes nos idées créatives étaient épuisées. C'était vraiment une expérience qui valait le coup et je sais que les autres scénaristes pensent la même chose. C'était une série difficile à faire et nous l'avons faite.
