Entertainment Weekly's LOST Cover


lost-cover_300.jpg
This week's Entertainment Weekly cover features our favorite Lost friends. With the final season about to premiere, Lost is EVERYWHERE.

An excerpt (which reassures us that the producers are not taking this season lightly):

“We’re writing the show for ourselves,” says Cuse. “It would be a terrible mistake to change the methodology that has sustained the show for this long.” Lindelof refers to Lost’s most despised duo to drive home the point: “Find the person who hates Nikki and Paulo the most, and I guarantee you that Carlton and I are still flagellating ourselves for that idea. The fact that we are 10 times harder on ourselves than anybody else makes us feel like the show is in the right hands.” That said, Lindelof is still feeling butterflies about the impending premiere: “I wish it was already here. The audience may hate it. The audience may not hate it. But at least they will finally see it, and when they do, it will be a relief.”

LOST Video: Flight 815 Crash in Real Time

Damon Lindelof's Twitter led me to this video today. Holy YouTube amazingness, Batman!

Someone took the real-time storytelling style of 24 and applied it to the Flight 815 crash. It works. It's awesome.

Enjoy.

Spanish Lost Promo Creating Buzz

Carlton Cuse calls it the best Lost promo he's ever seen. Final-season footage is something producers don't want to give viewers access to; this season's secrets are all kept under wraps. Even more so than usual. In fact, there has been very little promotion for the final season for that reason. The Spanish carrier of Lost, Cuatro, has created a creative buzz-creating promo that uses footage from earlier seasons, ominous narration and some chessboard special effects.

What do you think?

Casting the Final Season

The Ausiello Files lists two roles currently being cast for Lost.

Team Darlton is on the prowl for an “interesting” actor in his 30s to 40s to play…

Seamus: A scientist with some physicality to him, this guy’s not afraid to take charge and give orders. Recurring potential.

Team Darlton is on the prowl for a female actress in her mid-30s to play…

Kendall: Described as an “intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit,” she is caught committing corporate espionage and has to lie her way out. Recurring potential.

Any thoughts as to who these characters might be in the larger picture of the final season?

A Roundup of What to Expect in Season 6

io9 has compiled a bunch of Lost chatter over the past couple weeks into some pretty substantial Season 6 news. Between information from Entertainment Weekly, E! Online, and USA Today, here's what we got:

-From EW, "I hear Team Darlton will give us the answer to one of Lost’s oldest and most confounding mysteries. And I’m pretty sure it’s an answer none of us expected to get." Adam and Eve? If so, that means they're not Rose and Bernard, because that's conventional wisdom. How about: how did the Black Rock get so far on the mainland? Because we know we're getting some kind of Richard backstory...

-E! asked Damon Lindelof about the Numbers and he gives a really long, rambling answer that can be summarized as: we'll definitely be getting an explanation for the Numbers, but he has no idea whether people will accept it or not. But you could say that about most of Lost's mysteries, couldn't you?

I'm just glad they're addressing it: it's true that the origin of the Numbers were revealed in one of the alternate-reality games from a few seasons ago, but what's the percentage of Lost viewers who followed that? 0.5%? Less?

From USA Today, a bunch of news:

-As of October 27th, they were writing the eighth and ninth episodes and filming the sixth.

-What happens at the end of the series will be what they've always planned on the ending to be.

-Lindelof said that the show will provide answers about why and how Walt was special, and why and how the Others were studying him -- but heavily hinted that Walt won't actually appear, probably because he grew up so much faster than the show did.

-They want Cynthia Watros to come back and play Libby briefly, but they're not sure she'll do it. They asked her last year and she said no.

-Lindelof mentions that an actor "who's played a significant role on the show" but "was never a series regular" was asked to come back and said no. I'm pretty sure this has been previously confirmed as Mira Furlan -- the original Danielle Rousseau.

-Jeff Fahey, a.k.a. Frank Lapidus, will be promoted to series regular this year. Hooray!

Not really, of course. Just a joke. But a pretty funny scene from the latest episode of 30 Rock:

Sonya Walger Talks "Lost" Parallels


walger.jpg

Sonya Walger has a great life. She's Desmond's wife AND Joseph Fiennes' wife. But she doesn't want the viewers to get caught up in creating "Lost" parallels where there are none when watching "Flash Forward."

Here's an excerpt of her interview with PopEater:

I heard that you didn't hesitate to take on another complex show because you didn't even think of 'Lost' when reading the script for 'Flash Forward.' What do you think now after hearing all the critical comparisons between the show?

"It's inevitable that we'd be compared to 'Lost.' I think anytime you have a show with a big main central cataclysmic event and a large group of people are reeling from it, invariably it gets compared to 'Lost.' It doesn't feel like 'Lost' to me at all. It feels like a very different show. It feels very much embedded in the real world. The big political field of what's going on, and on a personal level, how people are dealing with what they've seen. The emotional ramifications. It's very embedded in the world we live in. You keep seeing shots of Los Angeles on fire and the White House half destroyed. You know, there's a global scale to it. I think the comparisons will tail off as the show progresses."

I think it's the giant secret that is the common element.

"Yeah, exactly. The secrecy about it and the gradual revealing of stories and story lines, all of which start paying off more and more as you watch. It's not like you have to wait for season 6 for everything to be revealed. There are lots of payoffs as the show continues."

I have to ask... are you coming back to 'Lost' for the final season?

"I hope so. We'll see. I've got no idea."

She has to come back. Are you reading this, Lost producers? BRING PENNY BACK.
