March 19th will be a haunting day for fans of ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars, as the night where
we FINALLY learn the identity of the show’s biggest threat, the
ever-illustrious ‘A’. While the show’s millions of fans each have their
individual guesses to who the sinister sneak might be, we’ve been playing back
the tapes for every ounce of evidence possible. But is it possible that ‘A’s
identity may have already been given to us? According to director Norman Buckley,
the truth almost came out during
production!
Buckley, who has been the eye behind episodes of Pretty Little Liars as well as Switched At Birth, Gossip Girl, Chuck, and The O.C., reveals exclusively to Ology that not only does he know who
‘A’ is (one of very few people given the information), but knowing who ‘A’ is and
keeping his or her identity under wraps has been no easy task.
“I was shooting this scene last season,” he explains, “where,
knowing that this was the direction they were going [with 'A'], I suddenly became aware
that if I shot [the scene] that way, it wasn’t going to make sense if this was
the way they solved the mystery… you’re shooting so fast and moving so quick
that it’s very, very easy [to make a mistake], and I think they’ve done a very
good job of keeping things very clear and straight. But there was one instance
where somebody was in the scene that wouldn’t have been there [if they were ‘A’],
so we had to stop and figure out how to stage it in such a way that we preserve
that.”
Buckley also cryptically tweeted a major spoiler clue as to who 'A' might be. "There's a big old clue i put right in front of everyone's nose in Episode 112," he posted on Monday. "No one spotted it."
Buckley does note, however, that the show’s looming Season 2
finale will be much more than ‘A’s unmasking. “I think that everybody will be
very satisfied with the finale of this season,” he says. “And I think it’s
great, the way they’ve structured this show so that it will then spin off into
a new series of mysteries. The writers are very clever, and they’ve really
worked it out. I do know who ‘A’ is, but what they’ve constructed is much more
complicated than just the answer to that question.”
Thoughts on the upcoming finale? Guesses as to who ‘A’ is?
