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.)

LOST: The Final Farewell — video from the Scream Awards

This is the video they showed at Spike TV’s Scream Awards a couple of weeks ago. It sums up the whole story of LOST in a few minutes. I think it’s nicely done. After that, a bunch of the cast came out. I had posted that part earlier, but it’s here too, in the second half of the clip, if you missed it.

And that was the whole LOST tribute, except for a short intro by Jimmy Kimmel.

One thousand mirrored orbs

Toshiko Nishikawa: "Senbazuru"

Remember the Vilcek Foundation, those nice folks who put on the LOST prop exhibit on the Upper East Side of New York this past spring?

They have a new show, starting tomorrow through December 9, which has 1,000 mirrored orbs suspended from the ceiling. It has nothing to do with LOST, but I just thought I’d mention it because it sounded cool, worth looking at if you happen to be in the neighborhood.

P.S. Speaking of the Vilcek LOST exhibit, I’m still planning on posting the rest of my photographs, some day. (Better late than never!)

Cast red carpet interviews at the Scream Awards

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 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.

Reminder: LOST tribute on Spike TV Scream Awards tonight, Oct. 19, 2010

Tonight, you can watch a reunion of some of the old LOST gang, including the long-unseen Waaaaaaaaalt.

When: Tuesday, October 19, 2010, 9 PM (8 PM Central)
Where: Spike TV, during the Scream Awards

The show was taped on Saturday, and Spike TV released a clip of part of the LOST tribute. The cast and producers in attendance are, in order of appearance, Carlton Cuse, Jorge Garcia (who acts as the spokesperson for the group), Damon Lindelof, Francois Chau, Ian Somerhalder, Henry Ian Cusick, a very tall Malcolm David Kelley, Harold Perrineau, and a burning piece of Flight 815 wreckage.

Why no women? Hmmm.

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

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.”
