Hurley On Hurley

August 19th, 2010

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.

The New Man In Charge – Sneak Peek

August 17th, 2010

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.

Michael & Terry Together Again?

August 15th, 2010

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!

Evangeline Lilly Acting Again

July 21st, 2010

I can’t wait to see the interviews.  After Lost she said she was breaking from acting to write children’s books.  However, I’m more interested to see if they can coax her into talking about Lost.

Evangeline is filming a movie with Hugh Jackman (good choice!) titled Real Steel.  It’s a futuristic boxing drama with robots and humans.  Sounds relatively interesting and I can’t wait to see the chemistry between Hugh Jackman and Evangeline considering her steamy scenes with Josh Holloway.

Read about the movie here.

‘Lost’ Triumphs at 36th Annual Saturn Awards

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films has announced the winners of 36th Annual Saturn Awards. In the television category, “Lost” went above “Fringe” in taking home the most prizes.

The ABC series which ended its 6 years run in May is awarded with three while “Fringe” gets two. The first award for “Lost” is dedicated to the series’ star Josh Holloway. The depicter of Sawyer wins Best Actor on Television while Anna Torv of “Fringe” wins the female counterpart.

The other two awards are for Best DVD Television Release, particularly for the fifth season’s set, and for the coveted Best Television Series.

In terms of chance, “Lost” actually misses a lot because the TV series received eight nominations while “Fringe” only got three. The same case happens to “True Blood” which took in five nominations but left with none.

The awards event took place Thursday, June 24 in Burbank, California. The organization also recognizes excellence in movie, home entertainment and theater production.

Nestor Carbonell on Psych

July 17th, 2010

Wouldn’t it be cool to see one of these guys show up on another show in their Lost character?

‘Lost’s’ Nestor Carbonell Finds Role on ‘Psych’

Grab your eyeliner and hang on for dear life, because ‘Lost’s’ immortal mystery man Nestor Carbonell is heading back to the small screen.

Yes, according to Fancast, the man who played the 19th Centruy’s original proto-goth Richard Alpert will be appearing on USA Network’s ‘Psych’ for a multi-episode arc during the show’s upcoming fifth season. Carbonell is slated to play Declan Rand, who despite the name is neither a ‘Battlestar Galactica’ pilot nor an extra on ‘Legend of the Seeker,’ but is rather “a criminal profiler who over the course of two episodes will shape up to be Shawn’s professional – as well as romantic – rival.”

Of course, coming off such a high-profile gig as ‘Lost’ may be a challenge for some actors, as some fans will likely have a hard time imagining Carbonell as anyone other than the iconic Others second banana. Luckily for Carbonell, he has plenty of experience off the island as well; besides recurring roles on shows like ‘The Tick’ and ‘Suddenly Susan,’ Carbonell also took a brief hiatus from ‘Lost’ in 2007 to co-star in the ill-fated Jimmy Smits vehicle ‘Cane,’ which may have flopped but at least reminded viewers that there’s life off the island of Carbonell.
Still, considering this will be among the first TV gigs to feature an ex-Lostie, chances are this arc on ‘Psych’ will have quite a few more eyeballs on it than usual. Just how many of those eyes will be framed with thick black liner remains to seen.

The newest season of ‘Psych’ kicks off on July 14.

Why Is Anyone The “Next Lost?”

July 15th, 2010

I know why they say shows could be the “next Lost” (it was a rhetorical heading and question) but I want them to be their own shows.  They could pique my interest more if they said that Lost fans would be interested in the show, but nothing will ever be Lost just like there will never be another X-Files.  The

Fox show “Terra Nova” sounds intriguing, but they really need to stop with the comparisons and let the show stand on it’s own.

Fox’s Terra Nova

Jason O’Mara, star of ABC’s 1970s-set Life on Mars, has officially been cast in the Fox midseason series Terra Nova, from executive producers Brannon Braga (FlashForward, 24, Star Trek: Enterprise), David Fury (24, Lost, Angel), and Steven Spielberg. According to Variety, the show revolves around “humans from the year 2149 who are forced to find a way to save the human race — and discover a rip in the time-space continuum that can send them back to pre-human Earth.”

“Writing the character of Jim Shannon, we’ve thought of Jason O’Mara as something of an archetype,” Braga told the trade. “He has an everyman quality to him, but there’s something dangerous underneath.”

In May, EW’s Hollywood Insider blog got a peek at the first script. (Fox has given the show, which will start shooting this summer in Australia, a 13-episode commitment.) “The scene: a large group of settlers are preparing to leave the apocalyptic world they live in to time travel back millions of years via a massive, high-tech contraption,” EW’s Lynette Rice wrote. “Their goal is to see trees, enjoy a blue sky, eat real food — basically, to start over in this so-called Eden. But what they find is unlike anything they were expecting.”

Does this sound like the next Lost to you?

Henry Ian Cusik on SVU

July 13th, 2010

Watching our beloved Losties appear on other shows feels like watching your ex get a new boyfriend/girlfriend.  You want them to move on and be happy but the first time you see them together can be unsettling.  So I would guess it will get easier in time to see our Losties move on with their lives.

Law & Order: SVU Signs Lost Alum

Lost alum Henry Ian Cusick, who played the time-traveling Desmond Hume on the ABC series, is leaping to NBC. He has signed on for at least two fall episodes of Law & Order: SVU, playing a graphic artist named Erik Weber.

Emmy Nominations

July 11th, 2010

Hooray!  Totally deserved nominations and not just because I love Lost.  This was a fantastic season!

‘Lost’ producer says Emmy nominations are akin to ‘playing in the bonus round’

Of all the dearly departed series this year, “Lost” is the only one that got some real Emmy love. With 12 nominations, including outstanding drama, outstanding writing for executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and acting nominations for Matthew Fox, Terry O’Quinn and Michael Emerson, the ABC series could be on its way to a big send-off.

Cuse said he didn’t rise early to receive the good news in case it was bad. But Lindelof said his “masochist” nature forced him to watch it live, taking in E!’s “100 Celebrity Oops Moments” before the announcements were made.

“So I was taken out of my misery,” Lindelof said. “Some years we’ve been up on the board and some years we haven’t. The is enormously gratifying. After all the hoopla over the finale, whether you loved it or you hated it or found it polarizing, what feels good is that people still care. The ending of ‘Lost’ still matters, which is a sweet feeling. So many shows just peter off into existence without being recognized.”

The producers’ writing nomination is for the series finale, which was titled “The End.”

“The expectations of the finale were incredibly high,” Cuse said. “We knew it would be impossible to please everyone. The fact that we got the nomination is a reflection of the fact that we connected with enough people. We feel proud of that.”

Lindelof acknowledged “Lost” had its highs and lows throughout its run, and said that aspect of it was just “part of the process.”

“We’re really lucky that we were able to end the show on our own terms,” Cuse said. “To be recognized is the whipped cream on the frosting of the cake. It’s like playing in the bonus round.”

Nominees in major categories for the 2010 Emmy Awards announced Thursday by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
