Damon, Carlton, and Doc Jensen at Comic-Con 2011
Dan Snierson and Jeff “Doc” Jensen interviewed Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse after the LOST panel. They talk about the new “secret” footage and what it’s like being at Comic-Con this year.
Wasn’t able to embed the video, but here’s a link where you can watch it: EW interview with Darlton at 2011 Comic-Con.

Josh Holloway in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer
The “Bad Robot” logo made me feel nostalgic.
It’s hard to even see Josh in the clip. The picture at the top of this post is from when he flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second, around 1:04 on the trailer.
(Editing to add): Here’s a short clip of Josh Holloway talking about what it’s been like working on the film. He said it’s been “like Disneyland for men” because of all the stunts and the action, and that working with Tom Cruise was an honor. When it came to stunts, he said, Cruise was a stud.

Another video from the red (actually silver) carpet, featuring quick takes from Jorge Garcia, Darlton, Henry Ian Cusick, Malcolm David Kelley, and a cameo from rocker Marilyn Manson:
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.

(The YouTube video I had here was pulled, but I found this one via LOSTblog.)
In this interview conducted a few days ago (looks like it’s at a pre-Emmy event), LOST writer Damon Lindelof talks about the Finale. Unfortunately, he doesn’t say anything that would give us new insights. He’s responding to a question about whether he feels frustrated when people misinterpret the ending to mean that the LOST-ies were dead all along, and he gives a generic answer about how different people will interpret the show in different ways.
He says he wished that fans who didn’t have the money to buy things at the auction could have had a chance to get a piece of the show, which was a nice thing to say. He himself was outbid on some auction items.
He’s working on the Star Trek sequel and “kicking around” some ideas about what to do next.

Michael Emerson, in a June 2010 meet-and-greet, talking about "The New Man in Charge"
A sneak peek is available for the much-anticipated special feature that will be in the Season 6 and Complete Collection DVD sets. The feature tells what happens to Hurley and Ben after they take over the job of guardians of the Island.

The entire video, which runs about 12 minutes, was leaked to YouTube earlier today, but the studio quickly pulled it down. The controversy that arose after the finale appears to be carrying over to the new feature-ette, which is said to answer some of the remaining unanswered questions, but leave others still hanging. One viewer, for example, who got a chance to see the whole video said, “After watching the full thing, I can tell you that it’s perfunctory and about tying up loose ends (although it still doesn’t manage to get them all).”
Damon Lindelof tweeted, “I’m so glad we made ‘The New Man in Charge.’ I was starting to miss getting yelled at.” That made the top tweet list, with over 100 retweets — presumably a lot more than 100, but 100 is where Twitter stops counting.
My feeling is that at this point, I’ve long since given up on ever getting any sense of resolution. Since I no longer have any expectations, I can’t be disappointed, at least when it comes to any lack of meaningful answers. I do think the opportunity to see Michael Emerson and Jorge Garcia reprise their roles will be a treat.
Here’s a clip of Michael Emerson, on a trip in June to his hometown in Iowa, casually sitting on the edge of a stage, talking about the feature, which, he says, he was “actually more excited to film than the finale.” Hmmm. I wonder if he is trying to tell us something. (The video clip was filmed by jshbckr, who also asked the question that Emerson is responding to):
