This idea is so-so to me.  If JJ wants to give us seven minutes in heaven he could give us more Lost!

J.J. Abrams playing ‘7 Minutes in Heaven’

J.J. Abrams and the folks at Bad Robot have conquered the art of the high-concept pitch. According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision Blog, Abrams’ company has picked up an idea from Lost director Jack Bender that goes a little something like this: Two teens at a party play 7 Minutes in Heaven, and when they emerge from the closet, everyone else in the house is dead. I don’t have any idea who’s going to be in the movie, who will direct, or even a clue beyond that 21-word plot description, but I’m already digging into my wallet.

Anyone who’s seen Abrams’ trailers for Cloverfield and Super 8 knows he’s a master of the less-is-more approach, the I’m-not-sure-what-I-just saw-but-I-want-more school of salesmanship. His projects typically have a sharp hook, and just a taste of the story is often enough to reel in an audience. No wonder he’s a green-light machine.

Does the short pitch for 7 Minutes sound interesting to you? Does Abrams’ track record give you confidence that the result will deliver the goods?

I’m tired of remakes, but if NBC would cast Josh Holloway in The Rockford Files I would probably watch just to see him!  Plus, we know that he’s an excellent actor.

This is pretty cool (or a clever way to sell more albums). Weezer has titled their new album “Hurley” after our very own beloved character from Lost.

I don’t like that you’ll only be able to see the whole epilogue on the complete box set.  Some of us bought the seasons as they came out!  But I’m sure someone out there will be kind enough to share it with us.  In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek.

This is so crazy and amazing that I hope it’s true!  Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn are shopping around ideas for a television show that they will star in together!  I hope, I hope, I hope!
