More new projects for LOST alum

Jeremy Davis as Daniel Faraday

Here are a couple more recently-announced new projects, one involving a LOST actor, and the other LOST producers. (via sl-LOST)

Jeremy Davies (Daniel Faraday) will be joining the Season 2 cast of FX’s Justified, playing a recurring role as the Marshall’s nemesis. The new season starts in February, 2011. (via Hollywood Reporter)

I’ve never seen Justified, so I have no opinion on this. Has anyone seen it? Is it good?

LOST’s executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have created a new show called Once Upon a Time that will be on ABC. The starting date has apparently not yet been announced.

According to Variety, it’s a modern take on fairy tales, a mix of science fiction, fantasy, and mystery, with a female protagonist from a “unique” background.

Despite the fairy tale premise, show will have a strong human emotional center. Similar to “Lost,” there will be a large ensemble.

Sounds intriguing.

Horowitz and Kitsis came up with the idea seven years ago, before getting involved in LOST, and then put it on the back burner until LOST was over.

Bringing even more LOST flavor to the project, Damon Lindelof will consult on the show! (I just hope he doesn’t write the ending.) (Sorry, I couldn’t resist. I’m actually excited about this one — it sounds like it could be a winner, especially if they can develop the ensemble concept even half as well as they did on LOST.)

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse interviewed on the red carpet at the Scream Awards

Damon and Carlton are a bit hard to hear in this. There’s a lot of screaming in the background, which is odd, but I guess appropriate because it is, after all, the “Scream Awards.”

They’re asked if they are going to work together again, and Carlton says that hopefully they will find something to do together “sooner, rather than later.” Also, Damon talks about “Star Trek 2,” the movie he is currently writing.

A clean-shaven Josh Holloway looks good on the set of “Mission Impossible”

I almost didn’t recognize Josh Holloway without his LOST beard in this picture from the set of his upcoming movie Mission: Impossible 4. (via sl-LOST, which has a half dozen more pictures of Josh on the set.)

There may be a LOST spin-off in the future, Carlton Cuse says

Posted on October 15, 2010 | Leave a comment

Carlton Cuse, speaking in an event in Madrid, said they weren’t planning on doing a spin-off “right now,” and they “have no plans now for a spin-off,” but “two years from now, maybe some bright idea will occur to us, and we’ll change our minds about whether there’s a possibility of something else to be done in the world, but for now, there are no plans.”

Notice how many times he says there are no plans now. He’s definitely keeping his options open.

I seem to remember Darlton saying there would never be any kind of a LOST sequel or movie, but then again, they also said the show wasn’t going to be about purgatory and that the ending would not disappoint. (What, me still bitter? Ha.)

Anyway, Carlton goes on to say, “Walt Disney Company, they own the LOST franchise, and it’s very possible they will decide to move forward with a new TV show or movie under the LOST ‘brand,’ and that’s totally their prerogative.”

Michael Emerson, Puritan leader

Michael Emerson as John Winthrop in PBS Frontline "God in America"

Michael Emerson as John Winthrop in "God in America"

I had taped the PBS/American Experience/Frontline show God in America and started watching it last night. I didn’t know much about it, just that it had sounded interesting and worth watching. I didn’t know who was in it.

A little while in, there was a segment on John Winthrop, the governor of the Puritan colony in Plymouth. The actor playing Winthrop was introduced in a quick shot, his face mostly obscured in shadows. The show then cut away from Winthrop for a few minutes, and when he returned to the screen, he was still wrapped in shadows. I noticed the acting — it stood out because the actor was giving a dramatic reading, and I noticed his eyes because they were slightly bugged out. But I didn’t put two and two together. A few more beats passed before it suddenly hit me: OMG that’s Michael Emerson!

Here’s a clip of his segment:

Watch the full episode. See more FRONTLINE.

If the clip doesn’t work, try the PBS website here: God in America. Michael Emerson’s segment is in Part One “A New Adam,” starting at 12:40, where you can hear his voice reciting the famous line about a city on the hill.

Josh Holloway in the LOST pilot

Still catching up with the recent LOST news, I saw that Josh Holloway (Sawyer) has been cast in “Mission: Impossible 4,” which will be his first major-studio movie role (he’s been in a few indie films).

J.J. Abrams, who seems to be everywhere these days, is co-producing the film along with its star, Tom Cruise.

The movie is scheduled to be released in December 2011. Such a long time to wait to see Josh Holloway again!

Not much information has been released yet. The IMDB listing for the film doesn’t even name Josh’s character.

In related news, there is going to be a remake of the classic prime-time soap opera Dallas — and how cool will that be! — which will be about the next generation of the Ewing family and may bring back Larry Hagman and Patrick Duffy in their original roles as brothers JR and Bobby.

A rumor was circulating that 24‘s Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, and our very own Josh Holloway were going to be the stars of the new series, but reps for all three actors are saying that the rumors aren’t true.

Michael Emerson, Terry O’Quinn, and J.J. Abrams working together again!

OMG! I’ve been catching up on the LOST news, and saw that a few weeks ago there was an announcement that LOST creator J.J. Abrams is executive-producing a new show starring my two favorite LOST actors — Michael Emerson (Ben) and Terry O’Quinn (Locke). The show, tentatively titled Odd Jobs, is about former black-ops agents.

ABC, Fox, and NBC all wanted it — and NBC got it.

This could be so good. Or it could be a bitter disappointment. I’m betting on “so good” though. I actually haven’t been as excited about anything LOST-related since before the Finale.
