Carlton Cuse, with Damon Lindelof and a polar bear in 2009
Amazon, which hopes to increase its audience for original series, will be debuting seven new pilots early in 2015. One will be co-written by LOST’s own Carlton Cuse.
Called “Point of Honor,” the pilot is set in Virginia at the start of the Civil War and focuses on a family that makes the unusual decision to defend the South while freeing all of their slaves.
Carlton will be a co-writer along with Randall Wallace, and a co-producer along with Barry Jossen. Wallace will direct.
Viewers votes will help determine which shows will live on after their pilots and which will die an early death. The shows will be free to subscribers of Amazon Prime
The Touch pilot was LOST-like in several ways, with its mysteries, its eerie connections between characters, its explicit mention of fate and destiny and, especially, the way it ripped off (or paid homage to) the LOST numbers — not the exact numbers, of course, but the general idea of them. It’s even got a LOST alumnus — Titus Welliver (the Man in Black) in a crucial guest role (hat tip to Geri in the comments for recognizing Welliver).
