            <title>New drama from Lost writers coming to ABC</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>It has to be said that this - http://www.youtube.com/CastTheCurse - looks like it could be worth a look for a number of reasons.</p>
<p>Once upon a time there was an enchanted forest filled with all the classic characters we love. One day the evil queen placed a curse upon all of them. This is their story.</p>
<p>From the inventive minds of Lost executive producers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis comes a bold new imagining of the world, where fairy tales and the modern-day are about to collide</p>
<p>What I do know is that the trailer is the most inventive use of You Tube I have seen and also includes a bit of black smoke and a rather blatant reference to the number 108!</p>

            <title>Lost: 7 years on...</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>It's been a whopping 7 years since ABC premiered Lost on our screens.</p>

<p>It seems like a lot less. In my opinion the greatest TV drama of all time.</p>

<p>Here's a nice fan tribute.</p>

<p>It has to be said - aside from looking amazing this looks like something fresh out of Lost.</p>

<p>Shipwrecked on mysterious island, held captive... etc etc</p>

<p>I think we could have done without the Steffi Graf style grunts all the time though!<br /></p>]]></description>

            <title>Lost: Writers pen Once Upon A Time - new fantasy show starting soon</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Lost writers Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis have penned a new fantasy series due to air in the US on ABC.</p>

<p>It's about a young son who believes his mother comes from an alternate world and is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming.</p>

<p>According to ABC Entertainment president Paul Lee: "Once Upon a Time is completely unlike Lost.</p>

<p>"But in some ways it's like Lost because it's about a group of people who are trapped." </p>

<p>While the new series will use flashbacks like Lost, those flashbacks will be of the fairytale world the characters come from.</p>

<p>Here's the trailer!</p>

<p>What you see in front of you is a screen-grab from the original Battlestar Galactica TV series from 1979.</p>

<p>That my friends is a Dharma logo! I nearly spat my cup of tea out...</p>

            <title>Cult classic: Hawk The Slayer</title>

<p>Sometimes when you trawl the internet it takes you to strange places and unlocks things in the vaults of your mind that you thought had gone forever.</p>
<p>That happened to me today when I stumbed upon a trailer for Hawk The Slayer - a cult film that was so bizarre and at times awful that it was actually brilliant.</p>
<p>Included in the cast of this 1980 film were Bernard Bresslaw, Jack Palance, Roy Kinnear and Mrs Victor Meldrew.</p>
<p>I loved this film,&nbsp;and finding this clip has inspired me to hunt it down again and relive those memories.</p>
<p>Here's the best bits in three minutes - allegedly.</p>
<p>More suprising to me was that the lead character Hawk was actually played by no other than John Terry - aka Christian Shepard of Lost fame... small world!</p>

            <title>Dominic Monaghan: I knew Lost would be big</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/lost_image_dominic_monaghan_charlie_pace_01.jpg"><img alt="lost_image_dominic_monaghan_charlie_pace_01.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/assets_c/2010/10/lost_image_dominic_monaghan_charlie_pace_01-thumb-360x240.jpg" width="360" height="240" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></span></p>

<p>Dominic Monagahan has revealed that very early on he knew that Lost was going to be huge.</p>

<p>The star who played popular character Charlie Pace said:</p>

<p>"I had always thought it was going to be a big show. I remember talking to JJ (Abrams) about it and saying how there had never been anything like it on television before and I thought it would blow up. </p>

<p>"So it was not that big of a shock for me when it did. It had a great cast and crew and an exotic location and a story that had not been told too often so I always thought it was a slam dunk."</p>

<p>He also stated that he didn't feel that much a part of the show at the end:</p>

<p>"I made my peace with that show a long time ago. I died in season three and probably halfway through series four I was happy with the story I told on that show. </p>

<p>"Coming back was always a bonus so doing those last scenes in season six I did not feel particularly involved in the show any more. It was good to go back but I had said goodbye a long time ago. It finished at the right time, I think a show like that cannot drag on and needs to end in the correct way.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Lost : does the mystery continue in Alan Wake?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Just finished the Alan Wake computer game, a brilliant Stephen King-style psychological thriller with an ending that leaves more questions than the Lost finale.</p>

<p>But, and here's the rub, the forces of darkness in the game tend to manifest themselves in clouds of dark smoke that can hurl a man across a room.</p>

<p>Sound familiar, smoke monster fans?</p>

<p>Then there are the 'Taken' who are controlled by the dark force, in much the same manner as The Others in Anorak City's fave show.</p>

<p>But the killer is the video prequel to the game, produced in the form of six webisodes under the title Bright Falls.</p>

<p>Take a look at the opening of Episode 3, which seems strangely familiar....</p>

            <title>Alien: Scott teams up with Lost's Lindelof for 'dark and nasty' prequel</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"><a href="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/dark_alien_big.jpg"><img alt="dark_alien_big.jpg" src="http://blogs.sundaymercury.net/anorak-city/assets_c/2010/09/dark_alien_big-thumb-480x318.jpg" width="480" height="318" class="mt-image-center" style="text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;" /></a></span></p>

<p>Movie director Ridley Scott says the two-part Alien prequel he's set to shoot will explore the dark side of the franchise.</p>

<p>The two films will trace the origin of the killer Alien species, and pose the question: were they created as biological weapons?</p>

<p>"The film will be really tough, really dark." he says.</p>

<p>"It's the dark side of the moon. We're talking about gods and engineers - engineers of space.</p>

<p>"Were the Aliens designed as a form of biological warfare? Or biology that would go in and cdlean up a planet?"</p>

<p>Scott is working with Lost producer Damon Lindelof on the script, so there's huge anticipation for his long-awaited return to the franchise he began.</p>

<p>It's being filmed in 3D and is set 30 years before the events of Alien, meaning that there's no place for Sigourney Weaver's Ripley.</p>

<p>Could we have just one, little, smoke monster, please?<br />
