LOST Season 4 Finale-Alternate Endings
5/30/2008 | 
Posted by
Dave and Thomas
If you missed the season finale of Lost last night or are planning to watch it soon please don't watch these alternative endings. There were 3 versions shot for the final episode but after viewing the 2 that didn't air it seems like only one (last night's) fits.
Normally I would just stick up the video (watch here) but since the preview shows details that would spoil I'll just safely link to the video instead. The finale ends a strike-shortened season with some rather fun results. A few mysteries were wrapped up but for the most part we're facing a few more years of trying to find out the real answers.

J.J. Abrams has something against planes. In these new trailers for his new show on Fox called "Fringe" we once again see a large jetliner like in "Lost" where mysterious circumstances occur. These new clips of "Fringe" shed some light on the "X-files-ish" new show coming this fall.

Also on tap is the new Joss Wheadon (Firefly) Fox show called "Dollhouse." DOLLHOUSE focuses on a secret organization that employs "Actives" -- a group of operatives who have their memories and personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with new ones, allowing them to take on various missions for hire.

The writer's strike has thrown off the season of Lost with the last new episode in awhile aired 2 Thursdays ago. Thankfully the cast and crew were quick to jump back into action and filming began only days after the strike was settled. New episodes will start up again April 24th which should give us enough to wrap up this season's storyline.

LOST Resumes Filming; Terry O'Quinn Talks To Film Students
3/05/2008 |

Terry O'Quinn is just such a great character actor that when I heard he was going to be on a new Television show back in 2004 I was immediately interested.After years of bouncing around as supporting characters on such TV shows as X-Files, Millennium, and Alias, O'Quinn landed the role of a lifetime as the complex John Locke on the hit TV show Lost.
O'Quinn is a skilled theater actor who is still humbled by the attention that people pay to him. He recently sat down with some theater students at Illinois Wesleyan University who have the luck of having Terry's brother, Thomas, as their professor.
"Actor Terry O’Quinn is in an elite circle. Not just because millions of people tune in each week to see him on the hit ABC television series LOST, but because he can call himself that rare honor – a working actor.
“Work. Work when you can, any way you can,” said O’Quinn, sharing his insights on the acting profession to a room full of theatre students at Illinois Wesleyan University on Tuesday. The actor addressed three classes and an open forum Monday and Tuesday before returning to Hawaii to resume filming of the television show." (more)
Lost Producer Carlton Cruse stated last month that they expect at most 13 episodes total. 8 episodes were finalized before the writer's strike halted production and 5 have aired so far.
Matthew Fox Won’t Return To TV After Lost

Dr. Jack Shephard is retiring. Sorta. Matthew Fox, who plays the Doctor on the hit Television show Lost, is set to end his television career and focus solely on movies. After 2 hit series on TV for a combined total of 10 years so far, Fox stated that he enjoys his current place in the Lost puzzle but being tied down to a TV series means turning down multiple lucrative roles.
The irony is that many actors have said this before and many have failed at the transition to the big screen. The reason they get the chance to turn down killer movie roles is because they are on a popular TV show. No TV show and the phone doesn't ring. But Fox seems to take it in stride.

Lost star Matthew Fox is to quit TV when the hit show comes to an end in 2010.
The actor, 41, is delighted at the huge success of the J.J. Abrams-created show, but admits his work on Lost has forced him to turn down other, more lucrative movie roles.
"He says, "I am getting these cool offers now, and often I can’t take them because of my responsibilities to Lost. I’m well aware that the success of the show is a big part of why I’m getting the offers and so my priority is to the show.
"But I won’t be doing anymore television after Lost. That level of commitment to one character is just something I won’t do again." (source)

Damon Lindelof On 'Star Trek XI' Date Change And Its Effects
3/02/2008 |

Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot Productions moved the opening date of the J.J. Abrams directed Star Trek XI film from the original date this Christmas to a May date the following year. There have been different reasons given as to why the sudden move of the opening dates that range from script rewrites that need the writer's strike to end first to the simple reason that the cast and crew just needed more time to meet the deadline.
Star Trek XI producer Damon Lindelof, who also is co-creator and head writer of the hit Television show Lost, took time to give his opinion on the change in dates.
Star Trek XI producer Damon Lindelof, who also is co-creator and head writer of the hit Television show Lost, took time to give his opinion on the change in dates.
"Moving Star Trek XI from December 2008 to May 2009 will have positive benefits, says Star Trek XI producer Damon Lindelof.
As reported by Trekmovie.com, according to Lindelof, based on Paramount's growing understanding of the movie, Star Trek XI was more appropriate for a summer release.
"It was being presented to J.J. [Abrams]," said Lindelof, "and I have been hearing the same thing from the studio, that based on the dailies they have been seeing and hanging out on the set and seeing and beginning to understand what the movie is, I think that they are starting to look at it as a big summer crowd-pleaser as opposed to a very sci-fi, not-as-accessible-to a-wider-audience Christmas release. So the reason that they have moved the release date is for their ability to market the film and sort of position it as the Pirates of the Caribbean for next summer."
There are other benefits to the later release. "On a budgetary level probably the most significant effect it will have is that we will not have to rush our post [production]," explained Lindelof. "As you might imagine there are a gazillion effects shots. I have seen some of the early work being done by ILM and [visual effects supervisor] Roger Guyett and it is nothing short of astonishing. So they’ll basically have more time to render those effects than they would have if we had to release it by Christmas. So that will probably make the movie a little less expensive to produce."
Lindelof also talked about how the move would affect the release of a full movie trailer. "Obviously the schedule is now going to change to accommodate the new release date," he said. "My guess is that the strategy will turn more into a slow burn. But at this point we also have to be cognizant of once the film is done, and the more we shoot the more likely it is to invite spoilers if we are holding everything back. So we still want to release those images. As far as for the first trailer trailer, I heard we were still on for the summer to have a full trailer for the movie. But I would not be surprised if they decide to hold that back."
Those working on Star Trek XI wanted to make the movie appealing both to long-term fans and yet attract a new audience. "When we all sat down and started to talk about whether or not we wanted to take on Trek, the question was very simple and that question has remained the same: do we think we can make it good?" said Lindelof. "And there is a way to make that movie where the fans will feel that literally four decades of storytelling and canon is not being ignored, but you make the movie so there is an access point for people who want to come in and hear the band for the first time, as it were. We talked about that and kicked some story ideas around and became totally infected with it." (source)

Lost's Matthew Fox keeps plotlines from other cast members

Matthew Fox knows how to keep a good secret.He says he is forever pleading ignorant when fans -- and sometimes fellow cast members -- try to extract juicy details about the show's many secrets from him.
And often, Fox says, he's not giving those people the whole story.
As a friend of the show's creators, JJ Abrams and Damon Lindelof, Fox has occasionally been privy to plotlines ahead of time, but is sworn to secrecy. (...continue)

It's not too uncommon to be confused after viewing an episode of Lost. Usually, there are more questions at the end of the episode than you started out with. Take for example the Oceanic Airlines hotline that popped up last week (see Lost Oceanic Airlines Hotline)
Over at E! they have broken down the latest episode of Lost, "Confirmed Dead," to help shed some light on the clues and mysteries of the week.

During the 2nd episode of this years Lost we see a lot more of the viral "Find 815.com" inspired storyline than I thought we would. Tonight we got a look at various underwater videos of the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815 found somewhere south of Indonesia in the Sunda Trench.
As various people watch the newscasts we see one scene where a hotline pops on screen. The number is 1-888-548-0034 and if you call it you get a record message from Oceanic Airlines telling you that family and friends of victims of the flight can contact their assigned counselor for daily updates.

The Oceanic Air "New" Gold Pass Commercial as aired on January 31, 2008 after the premier of the 4th Season of Lost. The viral ads being pumped out of Bad Robot right now are centering around Lost and very little has trickled out about Cloverfield.
The above billboard photo I took here in Knoxville, TN, about one month ago. Since then someone has spraypainted "Find 815.com" over the middle part of the sign. The site mentioned is a game related to Lost so if you really dig the viral mind games of Cloverfield and Lost be sure to get started with this new one.

Cloverfield, Star Trek prequel, Lost movie connection
1/31/2008 |

(via The National Post) As you prepare to get lost in Lost Thursday night, consider the creative connection between the monster movie Cloverfield and the rebooted Star Trek film. It is J. J. Abrams, the wizard who has mastered both television and film, and is poised to continue his successful ways. So that got me wondering.
The new episode of Lost will partially resolve some shocking developments for the island-stranded plane wreck survivors. The show should score one of the highest ratings for a series in the last few years.
Then there is Cloverfield which has already set a January opening weekend record of $41 millon and by the time Abrams’ Star Trek prequel hits theatres in November the anticipation should be in another dimension. Hot stuff this J. J.
How does Abrams top all of this, I was thinking? What about spinning Lost from a TV series to a climaxing movie. It’s not out of the question, and money changes everything in Hollywood. (...continue)

J.J. Abrams Loves Viral Marketing

Two weeks to go and the advertising is running full throttle. First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone who "grabbed" the exclusive Cloverfield movie widget. Thanks to all the "grabs" I won a Cloverfield Prize Pack. I just received an email from Paramount with the good news. The last time I received an email from them it was a Cease and Desist letter so I like this one much better.Cloverfield TV commercials, posters, cups, buttons and billboards are popping up around the country. The TV commercials are getting heavy rotation on our cable system here. Some people are getting sick of the viral ads already, like this guy.
While I wait to see the contents of the Cloverfield Prize Pack I was stunned to see another J.J. Abrams entity pop up in my home town. "Lost" starts up a couple of weeks after Cloverfield opens and they have instigated a new viral campaign. I don't know if the success of Cloverfield helped spur this new "Lost" viral game (or vice versa) but it turns out that Knoxville, TN, is one of the cities to be part of the FlyOceanicAir storyline. (more details on the billboards and game on my other site here)
