Lost Producers Shocked By Emmy Nominations

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 10:13:00 +0000

Lost's executive producers say the ABC drama collected its latest Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series in spite of — as well as because of — this past season's hyper-serialized, time-skipping narrative.

"We are very happy, and we are kind of shocked," Carlton Cuse told TVGuide.com. "Doing the time travel-heavy genre, we did not have any expectations that we would get nominated."

But Cuse and fellow exec producer Damon Lindelof say they are not surprised to see cast member Michael Emerson earn another nomination for his portrayal of the enigmatic Benjamin Linus.

"Michael has been such an amazing part of the show," says Cuse. "His performance, particularly in the episode 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,' is spectacular."

This year the drama series category was expanded to six nominees, but a tie resulted in seven total contenders — five of them on cable. The crowded, formidable, and by-and-large edgier field only adds to the honor of being nominated, say the producers.

"The idea that we made it into the mix with the limitations of broadcast is pretty exciting to us," Lindelof says. Adds Cuse, "Dexter, Big Love, Breaking Bad... Those are shows we think are really well done."

Titus Welliver (Man in Black) Discusses his Role on LOST

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 05:09:00 +0000

Titus Welliver (Man in Black) Discusses his Role on LOST

Here is a new interview from TV Guide from the mysterious Man in Black who is played by actor Titus Welliver. This is one of the first interviews that I can recall seeing from Welliver and it is a great read. No spoilers but more about the fandom and his speculation and insight about what he feels about his character!!

Here you go:

Welliver, who now has a recurring role on CBS' The Good Wife (premiering Sept. 22), shared a look inside the far-from-black-and-white nature of his Lost visit.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be dropped into the zeitgeist that is Lost?

Titus Welliver: It's pretty insane. It's pretty insane. This is a completely different thing for me. At the street level, it has been crazy. People — from all walks of life — come up and say, "Now, you possessed Locke...?" "Are you in fact Locke?" "Has the character of Locke been created from you, and this was a whole setup to crash the plane?"

TVGuide.com: The funny thing is they can only refer to you as "you," because they didn't give your character a name. By what name did you know him?
Welliver: He has no name. He's just "the man," because they don't want to give anything away. I know that this character has a name and I know the importance of it; that's all that I know.

TVGuide.com: So you don't know his actual name?
Welliver: No — and I think they deliberately withheld that.

TVGuide.com: Were you only given the script pages for your scene?
Welliver: No, I got a whole script. But the thing is, unless you're watching the show weekly, you've no bloody idea what's going on. It's not a show that you can just drop into the middle of. I had watched Lost during the first season, but then life and children sort of prevent one from being able to consistently stay with something.

TVGuide.com: Did the producers give you any notes on what the dynamic should be between you and Mark Pellegrino's Jacob?
Welliver: Liz Sarnoff, one of the writers on the show, is actually an old colleague from a show that we did with David Milch, Big Apple, and from Deadwood. Her explanation was that Jacob sees man as being a flawed creature, but that there is always hope, whereas my character has a much more cynical but in some ways realistic view of man. She said, "Now extrapolate from that what you will. Are they waxing philosophical? Are they gods?" What occurs to me as I watch Locke mention the loophole and pitch Jacob into the fire is, "Clearly this other man on the beach has inhabited Locke on some level" — and it never suspends your belief simply because of how intricate the mysterious nature of the show is. You never say, "Aw, c'mon." I find it interesting that the audience completely buys into what [the writers] put in front of them.

TVGuide.com: Fans have all sorts of theories on the Jacob-Man No. 2 relationship. Some see the obvious parallels with the Bible's Jacob and Esau, but there are also a wealth of Egyptian comparisons...
Welliver: Yeah, the Esau thing seems to dominate the extrapolating conversations. People on the subway say, "Are you Esau?" The interactions are that random.

TVGuide.com: Do you think it's as simple as one of these guys is good and the other evil?
Welliver: The way that I interpreted it, on a biblical level, is that it's a sort of Cain-and-Abel scenario. So by destroying Jacob, what does that prove — that [the man in black] can ultimately have power over the island? Do the castaways become solely his playthings? And why was it so important that he find the loophole to be able to kill Jacob? That moved me in the direction of thinking that if he needs this loophole, there's a greater power than the two of them that they're answering to.

TVGuide.com: Right, someone had to establish that loophole. Some giant, cosmic lawyer.
Welliver: [Laughs] Exactly. What [the producers] said to me was, "No hand-wringing" — and I said, "Certainly not," I didn't want to do the Snidely Whiplash thing — "and understand that this is kind of a chess game," hence the fact that one's in black and one's in white. But are they part of the chess game... or are they the players?

TVGuide.com: It seems like Jacob could have one last ace up his sleeve, as evidenced by him saying before dying, "They're coming." He may have put one final countermeasure in place.
Welliver: Oh, yeah. Somebody asked me about that — "Is your character going to just take over?" — and of course I don't have the answer. But as a viewer I think, "It can't be that easy to get rid of Jacob."

Man Suing ABC Claiming LOST Was His Idea First!?

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 23:32:00 +0000

TMZ is reporting that Anthony Spinner first pitched the idea of LOST way back in 1977 and then again in the early 90s??

I have no idea how true this is but there is apparently a document comparing what he wrote with the show today over at TMZ.

When I was sent this story I laughed at it. Well here is the screencap of the site and link to the document:

Thanks to David for the heads up.

Here are a couple of new promo pics of former LOST actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko) in his new movie G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra.

Adewale has expressed that he would like to return for Season 6 to make sure his character Mr. Eko had closure. The LOST writers had big plans for Eko, but had to change the story when Adewale left. Now that he is willing to return can the writers put him back in!?

My guess is yes!!

Well here are the pics. Enjoy!!

LOST Panel Comic Con 09 New Details (UPDATED)

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:20:00 +0000

**UPDATED** 7/13 12AM We can now confirm that Jorge Garcia will attend Comic Con and be a part of the LOST Panel. If you will be in attendance and would like to meet up or help live blog or have your pictures posted, please email me at mrtheodi@gmail.com

Hey All,
With about two weeks to go until the big LOST Panel at San Diego Comic Con, very few details are known about what is planned. Of course LOST writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are planned to be a part of the panel with some surprises, but not much more.

However, we have learned through one of our sources that there will be a "few" cast members in attendance including Michael Emerson and possibly Jorge Garcia if things work out. Additionally there is supposedly a "surprise" cast member scheduled!!

Who could this be!? Last years surprise guest was Matthew Fox, but there have been several rumors about returning cast members for Season 6. So could it be like SDCC07 when Harrold Perrineau (Michael) made a surprise visit before his return in Season 4?? Could it be Elizabeth Mitchell who is confirmed to appear for her new show V? There was also some chatter about Josh Holloway appearing when Lindelof said he would love for him to be there.

We have sent messages out to a few other sources to try and get some more confirmations, but what do you all think?? Excited yet??

I will be in attendance along with several of you that are also planning to attend and can't wait to meet up and hang out!

If you will be at Comic Con and would like to meet or help us at The ODI, DarkUFO and SpoilerTV live blog the LOST panel or any other part of Comic Con, please make sure you email me at mrtheodi@gmail.com so we can add you to our list and email you details on how you can help.

NOTE: If you have sent and email and not received an email from us, then please resend it, because it is possible it was buried or lost some where?

Thanks for stopping by!

LOST Cast Predicts the End of the Show

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:58:00 +0000

Hey All,
Of course with Season 6 still months away the biggest question in EVERYONE'S mind is HOW WILL LOST END!?!?

Of course the media loves to find out what the cast members think and I am sure many of you also wonder what they think, so here is your chance to find out what some of them think!! So whose theory is your favorite and does it match yours!?!?

These are great and Henry Ian Cusick and Daniel Dae Kim's responses were classic!!

Enjoy!!

Josh Holloway (Sawyer)
“There’s got to be a big blow-out war among everybody, and they’re all going to kill each other. There’ll be a few stragglers who have to make a choice, like the way ‘On the Beach’ ended, where the threat blows itself up and people will have to decide whether to stay or go.”

Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet)
“Like the end of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, I think something will happen where we all go back to where we were. Juliet was never brought to the island. The plane never crashes. These people have never met. But because of the odd nature of time, we keep on getting drawn back into the same situation again. So basically, the ending is just another beginning.”

Dominic Monaghan (Charlie)
“The remaining cast decides whether to walk the path of good or bad, and an epic battle reigns. Evangeline Lilly puts in the performance of the year and wins a Golden Globe.”

Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond)
“The resurrection of the dead—with someone singing [Hawaiian farewell song] ‘Aloha ’Oe.’”

Daniel Dae Kim (Jin)
“We all settle into Dharmaville, build our own homes and develop the island into a tourist destination and make millions of dollars.”

New Evangeline Lilly Interview with Sharp Magazine

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 21:44:00 +0000

New Evangeline Lilly Interview with Sharp Magazine

When the pilot episode of Lost was first broadcast across North American airwaves on September 22, 2004, fans and journalists alike were ravenous in trying to unearth every truth, rumor and personal tidbit they could about Evangeline Lilly, the then-obscure, barely known Canadian actress who portrayed Kate, the gorgeous and mysterious handcuffed plane crash survivor. However, almost from day one, the former Royal Airlines flight attendant (for one whole month), waitress, model and part-time actress (her biggest role at the time had been a brief appearance on Smallville) was determined to keep the prying eyes of the media out of her life.

“Keeping a low profile was definitely intentional, it was by choice,” recalls the 29-year-old Alberta-native. “To put it simply—a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don’t buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing. I think it’s more cumbersome and more of a hindrance to your life than it is the other. But the fortune is fantastic. I’ll take it, and I have no complaints.”

As Lilly remembers it, she had no intentions on becoming an overnight Hollywood sensation. “ I didn’t become an actress because I wanted to be famous,” remembers the girl from Fort Saskatchewan. “I didn’t become an actress because this is the ultimate career goal of my life. I became an actress by accident. I was doing a psychological exercise with myself, challenging myself, by going to auditions. I had no idea that it would connect to a job. I had no intention for it to connect to a job. I was doing it as an exercise. So when I got a job, I, in that moment, had to sit down and go, ‘Do I want to be an actor?’”

With the recent release of Lost: Seasons 1 + 2 in two Blu-ray collections (the Island looks like a slice of lush, green jungle heaven in 1080p high definition picture, and thanks to 5.1 uncompressed sound, the thunderous roars of the smoke monster have never sounded scarier) Evangeline Lilly has been doing a lot of thinking about her early days as a nearly first-time actress/star on Lost.

“My first year on Lost was a baptism by fire, I just was thrown in,” Lilly explains, during a promo stop in Los Angeles. “I felt like I was in boot camp. And I had no idea what I was doing, not just on set, and not just as an actor, but as a public figure. I had no idea how to cope with it, and what the best ways were to manage it. I’m constantly learning that and therefore, in learning it, I knew I didn’t want to–one of the first things I knew was, I don’t want to have this beast become so big and uncontrollable that I am swallowed up by it.”

But how does a leading lady on an iconic television series avoid it? “One of the ways is, you don’t do big blockbuster Hollywood hits. Another way is, you avoid press unless it’s really necessary,” she answers with a devilish grin.

With the story of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 slated to come to a conclusion in 2010, at the end of the show’s final season, Lilly, who has a home in Hawaii (where Lost has been filmed over the past five years) may be returning to her Canadian roots. “My home on the islands is nothing fancy, it’s just a sweet little Hawaiian bungalow. But, last year, I bought a house with my parents up in Canada, because my heart is still here. I love that country. That is where I was born and raised, and one day, I think I’ll probably go back here. (pauses) See, that’s what the fortune can do for you. The fame doesn’t help them. At all. It actually gets in their way,” she says, laughing.

Carlton Cuse Explains Origins of LOST

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:24:00 +0000

Hey All,
Here is a cool explanation from LOST Co-Creator and writer Carlton Cuse talking about their initial plan for LOST was 12 episodes until they realized the pilot was a hit and started writing out the full mythology that it would take about 100 episodes.

Thanks to back_gammon for the summary of the interview:

Carlton Cuse: The thing that made LOST popular was the fact that no one thought LOST was going to succeed at all. When the show first started, the idea for LOST came from an executive at abc network, Los Angeles, and he wanted to do a sort of scripted version of Survivor, and hired some writers to do that and --- he was basically --- he knew he was going to lose his job and he put a lot of money into making the pilot of the show.

And then, he did lose his job and so abc had this very expensive pilot --- which they --- they thought the pilot was good but they didn't think it would work as a series.

So my partner, Damon Lindeloff, and I, who run the show, we basically thought that we were going to make 12 episodes of the show and that was it. And so we decided we were going to make the 12 best episodes that we could ever make for ourselves --- the ones we would enjoy the most, and that is what we set out to do.

And in doing so we broke a lot of the conventional rules of television, particularly for American television shows. We had a large cast. Normally a cast in an American television show might be 6,7, or 8 actors. We had 15 series regulars. We had very complex storylines. We had purposely ambiguous stories where the audience had to determine what they thought a given scene meant. And we also made the show heavily serialized; it required you to watch it deeply. And we embedded clues in the show. And we also had main characters who were bad people, like murderers, had murdered people, and none of these things were really things you were supposed to be able to do on a show.

We sort of saw as our model a show called "The Prisoner," a British show made in like the 1960's, and it was 18 episodes and then it was over, but people still remember it, so we said "We're going to make the 12 best episodes that anyone will ever --- it's going to be the best 12 episode show ever."

And then they aired the pilot and the ratings came back, and normally that's like winning the lottery. And I remember when Damon, my partner, came into my office and he had the ratings sheet and he was like "OMG, we're going to have to keep doing this!" (Cuse chuckles)

And that's when we sat down and started trying to figure out all the mythology for the show, and it was only then that we realized it wasn't going to be 12 episodes, it was going to be 100 episodes, at least, and that we had to really plan and plot out what the story was going to be. And so that's when we really figured out all of the mythology of LOST.

Season 6 and Comic Con Latest Speculation

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 05:18:00 +0000

Hey All,
Last week E! Online had a chance to speak with both Michael Emerson and LOST writer Damon Lindelof about Season 6 and some plans for Comic Con.

Well once again nothing spoilery was revealed at all, but Emerson was asked about his thoughts about Ben's crush on Juliet considering she might have blown herself up. Emerson speculated that he thinks that Ben has no room for romance in his life at the moment. He also confirmed working with Elizabeth Mitchell is awesome.

Lindelof was solid as a rock not leaking anything about Season 6, but when asked if he could have Josh Holloway (Sawyer) appear at Comic Con, he did say it was a good idea and that he would love to have him be there.

So are you going to Comic Con this year?? If so, we will be there as well so please contact us and we can provide you with details on meeting up!! (Email: mrtheodi@gmail.com)

Don't forget to check out @ComicConLive on Twitter for live updates from ComicCon via Twitter. There will be a Live Comic Con page here and on DarkUFO as well.

So Josh fan are you excited at the possibility of him appearing at CC this year!?!?

You can read the full details here: E! Online

Michael Emerson Speculates on Season 6

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:04:00 +0000

Michael Emerson, who plays Ben Linus, confirmed that at least he is still an active part of the show. "My understanding is that I am," Emerson said in an exclusive interview last week at the Saturn Awards in Burbank, Calif. "For how much of season six, that's a good question."

Yes, more cryptic answers from the actor who plays the most cryptic character on the show. He even kiboshed my theory about erasing the present timeline. If the bomb prevented the crash of Oceanic Flight 815, seeing everybody live happily ever after wouldn't earn high ratings for the finale.

"I could see why you might think that, but from my perspective as playing that character who arrived late on that show, it doesn't sound terribly dramatic unless there's something in that equation that I don't quite get," Emerson said. "I'm just curious about what dramatic paths we'll follow."

One dramatic path might be further explorations of the mysterious Jacob. The fifth season finale revealed Jacob as a corporal presence, but still not quite human. Ben stabbed him, intending to kill Jacob. "I'm still not sure that he's a person like you and [me]," Emerson said. "I'm still not sure he's a person like Ben. Is he killable? I don't know. We haven't been to his funeral yet so I don't know. I don't know where all that's going."

Season six might finally give us a Ben flashback. We've seen Ben in flash-forwards, sending Sayid on assassination missions and trying to shoot Desmond. We've met Young Ben in the past, but we have yet to see Ben flash back to reflect on his own adult life.

"What constitutes a proper Ben flashback?" Emerson said. "There are some gaps in Ben's bio, and I think we may look backward a couple of times this season. I'm just guessing."

Don't expect any big changes for Ben, though. While audiences have seen him go from Henry Gale to the evil leader of the Others to a sympathetic young boy, Emerson has always acted as Ben and will continue to do so. "Ben has always seemed straightforward to me, and I don't think Ben has changed much over time," he said. "I think audience perceptions of Ben has changed."

CONFIRMED: Season 6 - Two Hour Premiere and Finale

mrtheodi@gmail.com (The ODI) — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 10:36:00 +0000

Hey All,
About over a week ago, my good friend DarkUFO made a post about Season 6 possibly being "18 hours" based on a couple of interviews from Matthew Fox and Director Jack Bender. We also made a note of the interviews and Dark was able to confirm via his ABC sources that it was true after all.

The speculation was that there would be a Two hour premiere and finale totaling the 18 hours of the planned 17 hour season.

Well for those that did not or would not believe it, EW's Ausiello posted a Tweet confirming the same thing!!

So rejoice LOST fans, there will indeed be an extra hour of LOST in Season 6!!

LOS ANGELES, CA (June 25, 2009) – Bif Bang Pow! unveils the first in a line of collectibles based on the immensely popular ABC series Lost at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009. And there’s more to come with a special array of bobble heads and articulated action figures with story-specific accessories already in the works.
The creepy and enigmatic Benjamin "Ben" Linus is the first to be released in bobble head form, available exclusively at the Entertainment Earth booth (#2343) at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2009, July 23-26. Based on recent storylines from the show, he comes bruised and bloodied with his arm in a sling… but you wouldn’t want him any other way! He stands on a Dharma Initiative logo base and comes in Dharma Initiative packaging. Only 1,008 pieces of this Comic-Con Exclusive will be produced. (Retail price: $17 including tax – while supplies last – limit two per person.)
"The twists, turns, and multiple threads that characterize Lost give rise to a host of distinctive and unforgettable characters. These characters lend themselves to the creation of unique figures and accessories that have terrific fan appeal and serve to memorialize this exceptional TV series," said Jason Lenzi, CEO of Bif Bang Pow! "We’re thrilled to be bringing new bobble heads and poseable action figures to market in the vein of what Bif Bang Pow! has done with licenses in the past. As always with Lost and Bif Bang Pow!, expect the unexpected!"
