Here, from the talented editing knife of Sophie (aka xSoppySofax), is a little drama, spliced together entirely from real LOST footage, which shows Sawyer and Ana Lucia as lovers — and all hell breaks loose when Ana Lucia becomes jealous of Kate.
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 didn't get to go to Heaven, but Harold Perrineau is coming back
Jeff Jensen at EW’s PopWatch is reporting that on October 19 at 9:00 PM on Spike TV’s Scream Awards, there will be a special tribute to LOST that will bring together cast members and producers. So far, the following are confirmed: Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Harold Perrineau (Michael), Carlton Cuse, and Damon Lindelof, with more expected to show up.
Here’s a promo, featuring Dr. Edward Halliwax, aka Pierre Chang, done in the style of a Dharma Orientation film:
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.
Ben and Locke together again -- Be still my heart!
LOST University is back with a “graduate” program. To access it, you will need a Blu-ray set, either the Season Sixset or the Complete Collection.
I expect that someone may eventually post the class videos online where non-Blu-Ray users can see them, but probably not right away, as ABC is likely to be vigilant for a while.
Below is an official teaser which has clips from “The Craft of Acting” class with Yunjin Kim (Sun), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), and Terry O’Quinn (Locke and notLocke). Below that is the promo email that ABC sent out on August 25.

Jorge Garcia (Hurley) was in the Glee-inspired opening song and dance number for the Emmys. Here’s a short clip of the opening number. Jorge comes on at the end:
[Editing to add] Here’s the full clip:
Want to see more of Jorge singing? Here are some oldies-but-goodies from the blog archives:
Hurley sings to Aaron in The Greater Good (episode 1×21)
This is from an August 2008 “Netflix Live” concert, where Jorge sings “Mustang Sally” with other TV actors:
This is from a recording session for the movie When We Were Pirates:
This music video has Eminem rapping, Rihanna singing, and Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox kissing, fighting, and otherwise acting out the words of the song. At the end, Penny’s boat comes and rescues them all.
Just kidding about that last bit.
The song and the video aren’t my cup of tea (too violent), but I enjoyed seeing Dominic in yet another role.
I found this video on sl-LOST. A lot of the LOST blogs have become inactive, but sl-LOST is still posting fresh, interesting stuff every day, which makes it a great place to go if you want to get a LOST blog fix. Well, after you come here, of course. 😉
the concept of the clip revolves around domestic violence and Eminem’s tumultuous relationship with his twice-ex wife, Kim. “It’s the story of them getting to know each other and it’s the story of their tumultuous relationship and it’s the story of the breakdown of their relationship …
“I was playing Slim Shady and trying as hard as I could to be Slim Shady.”
For motivation, the German-born, British-bred actor said he listened to Em’s first two albums a lot and tried to get into a “nasty, dirty … white trash” frame of mind, strutting around the set in either no shirt or a dirty cut-off T-shirt and thinking about one of his favorite snacks, Twinkies.
