'Lost' set for computer game treatment
Tuesday, May 23 2006, 16:55 BST - by Dave West
A Lost computer game is being produced to accompany the release of the show's fourth series.
Programme producer Touchstone Television – owned by Disney – has struck a deal with French game publisher Ubisoft to make an interactive version of the ongoing thriller.
Those involved with the show are looking forward to the prospect. Executive producer Bryan Burk said: "With the ability to tell new interactive stories within the Lost universe, we're giddy to be developing a game that will be as engaging and fun to play as it is to create."
Lost creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof are known as keen gamers and it is thought they will be involved in production. In 2004 Abrams helped make an Alias game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
It is not yet known which cast members will feature as voices or actors in the Lost production. |

'Lost' star enjoyed life as a binman
Saturday, May 27 2006, 09:55 BST - by Daniel Kilkelly
Lost star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje has admitted that he sometimes misses his job as a binman.
The actor, who plays Mr Eko on the desert island series, revealed that working on the show is far more tiring than collecting rubbish.
"Doing the bins was a hustle but it was a good job because I had a 3am start and finished early enough to go to college lectures in the afternoon," he told The Mirror. "It was a peaceful job. You'd get up early in the morning with no one around but the foxes.
"You did stink but in a weird way you were very much at one with humanity. I wouldn't say it was fun exactly, not all the time anyway, but it paid well."
On his role in Lost, he added, "We are quite literally stuck in the jungle much of the time. It's very hard with long hours over six-day weeks for three months at a time. It's not easy - but it is a beach and that has its fun moments." |

'Lost' star shocked writers with swimming fear
Sunday, May 28 2006, 12:05 BST - by Daniel Kilkelly
Lost star Harold Perrineau shocked producers of the show when he revealed that he couldn't swim.
The actor, who plays Michael Dawson, was instructed to take a crash course before filming for the second season began.
"They like to hold part of the finale as a secret and last year the secret was that our boat was gonna blow up and they were gonna take the kid and they would throw us in the water - but we didn't find out until that day," Perrineau told WENN.
"I was like, 'Hey, I can't swim!' Suddenly you see the producers all freak out. They called me back and said, 'Before the second season, maybe you should learn how to swim because you start in the water.'" |

'Lost' star nearly gave up on acting
Sunday, June 25 2006, 12:01 BST - by Daniel Kilkelly
Josh Holloway considered quitting showbiz before he secured a role in Lost.
The actor, who plays Sawyer on the US hit show, nearly decided to become an estate agent after struggling to find parts.
"I'd been in the business for eight years and I was working about twice a year, which is really not enough," he told the Sunday Mail. "I was going to give up. I thought, 'OK they broke me.' It's a brutal town. It was like I've pounded against a cement wall with a toothpick.
"When I went to test for Lost I showed real anger - after eight years of pounding on that door I was hungry and I wanted that part." |

i don't know if any of you have heard of this already
but i was excited to hear of this or read of it at least
Lost" co-creator/executive producer Damon Lindelof, executive producers Bryan Burk and Carlton Cuse, and stars Jorge Garcia (Hugo) and Daniel Dae Kim (Jin) attended the San Diego Comic-Con today and talked about the upcoming season three starting on October 4. The presentation was briefly interrupted by a planned protestor, a Rachel Blake, who yelled at them for supporting the Hanso Foundation and told people to go to HansoExposed.com.
Here are the highlights of what they said!
- Season three will have a vastly different feeling, but at the same time reembrace the roots of the series.
- Season three will focus more on adventure.
- The first six episodes in the fall will be like a mini-series and focuses on the captivity story of Jack, Kate and Sawyer.
- We'll learn more about The Others and Alex's story.
- An event will happen mid-season that will blow people away!
- J.J. Abrams will co-write the first episode which is titled "The Tale of Two Cities." He'll also direct the seventh episode, which is the first episode of the second half of the third season (early next year).
- They are going to reveal what happened to Locke, Desmond and Echo.
- They are adding new regular characters, which they are casting for now.
- You'll see more scenes from the outside world (taking place at the same time they are on the island).
- Desmond and Penny's relationship forms a new seed for a new element in the series.
- Libby will be back to fill in the gaps.
- Within the first few episodes Kate "gets with someone".
- They are going to explain the medical miracles.
- They debunked the rumor that the monster is a cloud nanobot.
- The hyroglypics on the countdown clock are signs of the underworld.
- They have 4 to 5 seasons planned out, and they knew the beginning and ending from the start. Going beyond 5 seasons would be stretching it, they said.
- If they introduce a question on the show, they already know the answer.
- They do look at fans' reactions and that does affect how they do things on the show.
- They showed a promo for the 13 "Lost" diaries that will be on Verizon, which featured Hugo finding a camera and interviewing people on the island.
- A "Lost" game from Ubisoft is coming next year which features a new story.
- On the season two DVD, you can expect one feature which has all of Sawyer's famous lines!

| From characters being murdered to characters being discovered - and next season on Lost there will be at least three new additions to the cast. The first is Elizabeth Mitchell , who will play Juliet, one of the mysterious "Others" and a new love interest for Jack. Also joining is Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro as a "handsome yet mysterious" islander. Aaaand.. we're finally going to learn why Locke was in the wheelchair. |

Does that men that the first 6 episodes will be about them only? I don't like that,
i want all the survivors :(

I just got the new TV Guide, and it says Lost will air six new episodes starting Oct. 4. Then go on hiatus til Feb. and return with non-stop episodes through May. The season will be more action than mythology.
Damon Lindelof says, "It's gonna feel more like an Indiana Jones movie this year than it has in the past,which we're excited about."

Boone--aka, Ian Somerhalder--was just spotted back in Hawaii
- In the first four episodes, she [Kate] does confess that she loves someone on the island. It is one of the most heart-wrenching (in every single possible meaning of the phrase) scenes you will ever witness. Prepare to freak.
- Jack is in a glass enclosure and interacts a lot with a character we haven't yet seen [Juliet?]. Kate is in an examining room and interacts with a character we know! [Henry Gale?]
- 3x01 Flashback: Jack. We see more of his dad guilt.
- Rodrigo Santoro's character actually appears very early on this season
- She [Elizabeth Mitchell's character] is not a plane-crash survivor. She is a woman. She is romantically linked to someone we already know, and she could be romantically linked to a second someone we know.

Okay...this doesn't really qualify as news, but let's just say an amusing Lost reference...
I went to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure today and decided to go to the Turtle Talk with Crush because my dad had never seen it. It's like a mini-theater and you can see the "pacific ocean" (the Finding Nemo version of it anyway) on the screen. There's also a microphone dangling in the ocean at the upper right hand. Our host started to talk about what questions to ask, and blahblahblah...and then he started to explain that what looked like a microphone was a special hydrophone produced by the Dharma Institute. A few people, myself included, clapped at this, but it went over everyone else's heads. I tried later to tell my dad about the Dharma Initiative, but as soon as I mentioned Lost, he was like "Ohhh" and the conversation was done. hehe Oh well.
