LOST Pilot 1x02 Sawyer

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.

Damon Lindelof talks about the LOST ending and the auction

Posted on August 30, 2010 | 2 comments

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 on The New Man in Charge (the new LOST feature-ette)

Michael Emerson June 2010 talking abou The New Man in Charge

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):

LOST-related Events at San Diego Comic-Con 2010

Posted on July 21, 2010 | 1 comment

Daniel Dae Kim from photo shoot

Daniel Dae Kim will be starring in the reimagined version of Hawaii Five-0

Comic-Con 2010 is this week. While there won’t be the kind of LOST panel that we’ve seen in the past, there will be plenty of events featuring LOST actors, writers, and fans.

Here’s the schedule. Twitter will be a good bet for live coverage.

Thursday, July 22, 2010

4:30-5:30 LOST’s composing genius Michael Giacchino will be a member of the panel in Behind the Music with CW3PR: Composing for Sci-Fi, Horror, and Fantasy Film & TV.

Friday, July 23, 2010

10:15-11:15 Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) will be on the panel Aloha, Earth! discussing the remake of Hawaii Five-0. Kim was the first actor cast for the show (he will play Detective Chin Ho Kelly), which also stars Alex O’Loughlin (Moonlight), Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica), and Jean Smart (Martha Logan on 24). The show will start in the fall on CBS.

7:30-8:30 30 Days of Night: Dark Days This panel is for a movie based on a graphic novel, starring Kiele Sanchez, who played the ill-fated Nikki Fernandez (as in, Nikki and Paulo) in LOST’s most hated sub-plot. Wishing her better luck in her new role.

Saturday, July 24, 2010

1:00-2:00 The Write Stuff: Creating Genre Television. Among the 11 writers on the panel are two from LOST — Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Jesse Alexander. This looks like a very interesting event. As does the next one:

1:00-2:00 The Lost Podcast with Jay and Jack. Here’s the official description: “Father and son team Jay and Jack Glatfelter have one of the oldest and biggest podcasts dedicated to ABC’S Lost. Discuss the stirring series finale, and learn about the huge dedicated online community for TV’s most mind-twisting drama. Join Jay and Jack for this special interview and Q&A session!”

2:30-3:15 V Screening and Q&A with, of course, Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet). V will be coming back in the middle of the fall season.

4:15-5:00 The Vampire Diaries Screening and Q&A with Ian Somerhalder (Boone). Vampire Diaries will be back in the fall.

This one may be the most LOST-centric event of all:

6:00-7:00 Lost But Not Forgotten Official description: “Lost Encyclopedia authors Tara Bennett and Paul Terry, along with other special Lost guests, discuss this seminal show’s legacy, their thoughts on the finale, and the creation of the forthcoming Lost Encyclopedia.”

Sunday, July 25, 2010

11:15-12:15 Cartoon Network: Tower Prep with Firebreather Sneak Paul Dini, the creator of this new live-action mystery show, was a writer and story editor on LOST.

Editing to add: I just noticed that JOpinionated has a list that includes these events I missed: Sterling Beaumon (Young Ben) and Andrea Gabriel (Nadia) signing autographs; a Friday night casual get-together with Jay & Jack; executive producers/writers Adam Horowitz and Eddy Kitsis on a panel on Thursday 11:15 to 12:45; Michelle Rodriguez (Ana Lucia) on a panel Thursday 1 to 2; J.J. Abrams on a panel Thursday 3:30 to 4:30; Elizabeth Mitchell on two more panels in addition to the V panel listed above (Friday 4-5 and 6:30-7:30); and Lance Reddick, who played my favorite non-starring character (Matthew Abaddon), in a Fringe panel on Saturday 3:15 to 4:15 .
