LOST Numbers Being Used by WheresMyCellphone.com Posted by The ODI at 11/12/2009 11:53:00 AM (Comments: 2) Labels: LOST Reference

Thanks to Runtz for the heads up about this.

Found this site where you enter you cell phone number if you need to find it. I tried it just to see. The incoming call was from 481-516-2342.

I could not believe this was true so I tried it out and it worked! I was able to grab a screencap of my iPhone for you all to see and yes that is my wallpaper of the Swan Logo pumpkin I carved this Halloween.

Very cool!

Evangeline Lilly Says Adoptions Could Help Save the Planet Posted by The ODI at 11/09/2009 11:54:00 PM (Comments: 40) Labels: Evangeline Lilly

Thanks to Holly Greenwood from Greenwala.com for the heads up!

I am a LOST fan, like Evangeline Lilly and I know she believes in all natural products and saving the environment. However, now we know she is worried about the planet and over population so much that she confirms she thinks some people should stop having babies and adopt. For some this might be an extreme comment, but countries with large populations, this is part of the solution for population control and is a common reason that some people even adopt.

She discusses adoptions but also the desire to have her own child in the article below.

What do you think!? Here is the full article:

Evangeline Lilly thinks people have to stop having babies to save the planet.

The actress - who is been dating her co-star Dominic Monaghan since they met on the set of 'Lost' in 2004 - believes people are procreating at an alarming rate and must slow down their baby-making or adopt to "protect" the Earth.

It makes sense not to add to the population problem

She said: "For a very long time, I have had intentions to adopt. We have a huge population problem on Earth. We're not going to protect the Earth the way we need to protect it if we don't stop making so many babies."

Best TV Pilots: Series Premieres That Made Our Jaws Drop Posted by DarkUFO at 11/09/2009 02:42:00 PM (Comments: 2) Labels: Awards, Online Article

Thanks to Ryan for the heads up on this article from AOL that list Lost as the Best Pilot Ever.

This much-copied pilot (exhibit A; 'FlashForward') displayed lavish visual flair (those expensive special effects, that vivid plane crash and aftermath, those lush Hawaiian locations), but all in the service of character and story. The episode introduced us to more than a dozen major characters (and, via their flashbacks, to the show's storytelling strategy), and it left us with all kinds of intriguing questions about, not just what was going to happen to these survivors, but what kind of show we were watching in the first place. Best. Pilot. Ever.

500 Rads - New J.J. Abrams Movie Posted by Iceman815 at 11/07/2009 12:36:00 AM (Comments: 4) Labels: JJ Abrams, Movies

Thanks to The ODI for the heads up.

With their now expected levels of secrecy and sneakiness, it seems that JJ Abrams and Bad Robot are already deep into bringing a mysterious movie called 500 Rads to the screen. At least that’s if it will be called 500 Rads and this isn’t just some kind of hazy-fantazy codename.

The leaked information so far pegs the film at a sweet little $25 million budget and alleges that production will take place in Europe. The story was apparently formulated by Abrams who handed it off to Jeff Pinkner to write the screenplay, and now it seems that some other scribes from the Bad Robot mafia will be taking a pass too while Pinker gets busy at the Fringe again.

Seeing as their source has told them to expect 500 Rads to fall in the vein of both Cloverfield and 28 Days Later, and because they’ve researched enough to find out that Rads refers to radiation, Pajiba are speculating that this might be a zombie picture of some kind. I’m just thinking there’s video cameras involved.

My research into radiation has yielded little more of any definite use, though I can tell you that 500 Rads is the absorbed dose that will turn a guy sterile - a woman would need to be hit by 600 Rads - so there’s an off chance that Abrams and co. are playing with fertility sci-fi, ala Children of Men, ZPG and so on. Having said that, other sources I surfed to in my research told me that 500 Rads would be enough to kill you… well, I guess the dead are pretty sterile. I await the actual factuals from our well informed readership in the comments section below.

Seeing as there’s no director attached as yet, this could be a project Abrams himself decides to take ownership of. On the other hand, it probably won’t be and he’ll pull in somebody else.

Damon Lindelof - NYU Alumni Interview Posted by DarkUFO at 11/06/2009 03:23:00 PM (Comments: 4) Labels: Damon Lindelof, Interviews

Thanks to Miri for the heads up.
In the late 1970s, in the days before VCRs gained ubiquity, Damon Lindelof’s parents bought him some 16-mm prints of scenes from Star Wars because they were sick of taking their son to rewatch the film. He played the prints so much that they soon broke. Lindelof (TSOA ’95) admits that he probably had an “unhealthy obsession” with the space adventure, but it was also his first experience with the escapist power of mythology. “It made me want to be a storyteller,” he recalls.

So fans of ABC’s Lost might credit George Lucas, in part, for inspiring one of the most confounding, dizzying, and literary-infused shows ever to grace prime-time television. As co-creator, head writer, and executive producer, Lindelof will steer the series through its sixth and final season beginning in January 2010. The show, which has racked up Emmys, Golden Globes, and other awards, trails a group of plane-crash survivors on a mysterious tropical island who navigate a revolving door of obstacles—from global power struggles to personal demons and unwillful time travel. The characters are developed through nonlinear flashbacks that meticulously connect to the overall mystery.

Though Lindelof now enjoys deity-like status among many sci-fi fans—he also produced the recent movie blockbuster Star Trek—the road to fantasy guru was paved through some pretty mainstream storytelling; he previously wrote for the Don Johnson vehicle Nash Bridges, MTV’s Undressed, and the crime drama Crossing Jordan. But penning and producing the sequel to Star Trek (due out in 2011), along with developing a film based on Stephen King’s fantasy Western series The Dark Tower, should keep him in the myth-making business for some time.

NYU Alumni Magazine recently spoke to Lindelof about life at the helm of a network hit, confusion as a motif, and what comes next.

You were brought in by J.J. Abrams (Felicity, Alias, Fringe) to help develop the Lost pilot. What was it like dreaming up the show with him?

We met on a Monday, talked for two hours, and started to get really excited about it. That Friday afternoon we had written a 23-page outline, and on Saturday morning ABC picked it up.

So there was immediate chemistry.

I was like, “I can’t believe I’m in a room with J.J. Abrams,” and he was just treating me like I was his buddy. Within a week we were writing together, meeting at Starbucks, and hanging out. The mystical side of me says we must have known each other in a former life, but I think sometimes you just meet people and immediately click in a way where it’s like, “Oh…you.”

You sprinkle each show with references to literature, philosophy, and even ancient cultures. Do you ever think you’re giving the audience too many dots to connect?

I feel like for the audience member who wants to ski the black diamond, that run is available to them, but there’s also a bunny slope. And hopefully the episode makes sense. Here’s the story [to the Season 5 finale]: This guy’s trying to blow up a hydrogen bomb; this guy’s trying to stop him. But if you want the more advanced version of the show, there’s all these clues and nuggets, like Flannery O’Connor’s Everything That Rises Must Converge. Those things are there for the superfan.

So there’s a conscious effort to make Lost fans do some deep thinking, if they choose?

The show is not just called Lost because the island is lost or the people are lost in their lives. We want the audience to always feel a little lost, too, a little disoriented. As opposed to a cop show where you know the objective is to get the bad guy, or a hospital show where the objective is to save the patient, you don’t know what the objective is on Lost. Our characters don’t even know; they’re trying to figure it out every week. Next [season] will be a slightly different experience.

Speaking of which, fans and TV writers are constantly speculating about how it will all end this spring. Any secrets you might want to leak to your fellow NYU alums?

[Laughs] Mum’s the word.

I had a feeling you’d say that. So you’re about to wrap up this monumental TV series, you’ve just produced Star Trek…what’s left on your creative wish list?

It’s all gravy at this point. In my heart and in my soul I am still a fanboy myself, and the only standard I ever hold any project I’m working on to is: If I were 11 years old, would I be into this?

Elizabeth Mitchell cast in indie drama Answers to Nothing Posted by DarkUFO at 11/05/2009 01:15:00 PM (Comments: 1) Labels: Elizabeth Mitchell, Movies

Elizabeth Mitchell is carving out some time to shoot a movie too: She’ll star in the indie ensemble drama Answers to Nothing, EW.com has confirmed. In the film, which is set against the backdrop of a child abduction chase and focuses on lost Angelenos in search of redemption, Mitchell is a woman consumed by her desire to have a baby with her husband (Dane Cook). “Playing a hormonal woman whose marriage is shaky and who has lost her way through her ultimate obsession—I love stuff like that. That’s where I live,” she tells EW.com, adding: “The movie is a little bit like Magnolia where you get this glimpse into people’s lives and it may not be exactly what you want to see, but it is accurate.” Currently shooting in Los Angeles, Answers to Nothing also stars Julie Benz, Barbara Hershey, Zach Gilford, Kali Hawk, Eric Palladino, Mark Kelly, Miranda Bailey, and singer Aja Volkman. Matthew Leutwyler (Dead & Breakfast) is directing and co-writing the film, which is being produced by Ambush Entertainment (The Squid and the Whale).

Lost's Naveen Andrews to Guest on Law & Order: SVU Posted by DarkUFO at 11/03/2009 08:53:00 AM (Comments: 11) Labels: Naveen Andrews, TV appearance, TV Guide

Thanks to Serengeti and Marilyn for the heads up.

Lost star Naveen Andrews has signed on to film a guest spot on an episode of Law & Order: SVU, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

The details of his role are being kept under wraps for now, but the episode starts filming in the next week or so in New York.

Andrews, 40, plays Sayid Jarrah on ABC's Lost, which is still shooting its final season in Hawaii. (A source tells us they're on Episode 6 of 18.)

Let's not jump to any conclusions though. "As with previous seasons, not all cast members are in every episode," says a studio rep. It's entirely possible that Andrews will finish his SVU gig and return to Hawaii to shoot more Lost. But the timing does at least raise the question: Is Andrews, and thus Sayid, done for the season?

Before Lost, Andrews was best known for playing a sensitive explosives expert who wooed Juliette Binoche in Anthony Minghella's The English Patient.

Andrews' SVU episode will air in January 2010, right around the time that Lost's sixth and final season premieres.

Jeff Fahey finds Capitol Hill Posted by DarkUFO at 10/29/2009 04:47:00 PM (Comments: 2) Labels: Interviews, Jeff Fahey, Video

Thanks to Annie for the heads up.

Jeff Fahey, who plays helicopter pilot Frank Lapidus on ABC's hit show, "LOST," spent two days this week meeting politicians and journalists in order to bring attention to the issue of refugee warehousing and the refugee situations in Algeria and Thailand. Fahey, whose work on this issue is in concert with the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, recently met with escaped refugees from camps near Tindouf, Algeria.

POLITICO sat down with Fahey Wednesday to talk about these issues and, of course, whether members of Congress are die hard "LOST" fans.

Former 'Lost' actress Elizabeth Mitchell 'cried for a couple of days' after being written off show Posted by DarkUFO at 10/29/2009 04:20:00 PM (Comments: 27) Labels: Elizabeth Mitchell, Evangeline Lilly, Online Article

Thanks to Magic Box for the heads up.

Former 'Lost' actress Elizabeth Mitchell 'cried for a couple of days' after being written off show
Elizabeth Mitchell, former "Lost" fertility doctor Juliet, says that when she found out she was being killed off on the ABC drama, she and co-star Evangeline Lilly went on a bender.

"I cried for a couple days," Mitchell says in Entertainment Weekly's latest issue, on stands tomorrow. "Evangeline and my sister came over, and we drank until we fell asleep on the couch, which was not good, because none of us are big drinkers. We woke up and said, 'Let's do ice cream next time, okay?'"

Up next for Mitchell is ABC's "V," yet another sci-fi thriller - which is just fine with the actress, who labels herself a "dork and a nerd."

"They know I'm one of them. Completely," said Mitchell. "Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, I'm a sci-fi fan - with a soccer mom on the outside."

Clancy Brown Might be Playing Lobo Posted by The ODI at 10/29/2009 04:52:00 AM (Comments: 0) Labels: Clancy Brown

Looking at the more recent successful films, it's becoming clear that star power is no longer a guaranteed box office draw for audiences. Unknown actors and actresses are garnering as much attention as their A-List counterparts. It looks like the creative team behind the upcoming Guy Ritchie adaptation of DC Comics' Lobo is paying attention to this trend as IGN says a source close to production told them that actor Clancy Brown might be the man to step into Lobo's shoes. Apparently with the amount of special effects needed to create the character, there isn't too much concern in bringing in a high profile name to lead this project.

"Ultimately regardless of whether you do it all CG or its a guy in a suit, with CG, you'll still end up doing a lot of CG animation. So do you need a celebrity? Do you need a name or do you just get someone who is good and who's gonna nail it?"

Evangeline Lilly: I'm a loner Posted by DarkUFO at 10/27/2009 03:27:00 PM (Comments: 55) Labels: Evangeline Lilly, Interviews, Online Article

Evangeline Lilly has revealed she struggles in relationships - as she enjoys being alone.

The 30-year-old actress - who plays Kate in hit drama Lost - did date her co-star Dominic Monaghan but revealed she can't imagine herself getting married.

Evangeline said: "It's a real struggle for me - I am very independent and I do very well on my own."

She added: "I don't get lonely, really. I like to be alone. Some people have to focus to make themselves spend time on their own, but I'm okay with that. I'm the opposite. I'm always alone and I love it."

But Evangeline revealed: "It's been my goal to socialise more this year because I am such a geek and I thought I should try to do a bit better with my socialising skills. I'm the ultimate geek when it comes to socialising."

Kate is adoptive mother to Aaron in season five of Lost - which is out now on DVD - and Evangeline revealed she has thought about adopting herself.

She said: "For a very long time, I have had intentions to adopt. We have a huge population problem on earth. I have always wanted to have a child of my own and I will always want to go through the gift that women have been given to experience that, so I hope to be a mother at some point. I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt."

Ay, brother -- Henry Ian Cusick is off the hook.

Cusick -- who plays Desmond Hume on "Lost" -- has settled a sexual harassment lawsuit with a former production staffer who sued him back in April for allegedly grabbing and touching her inappropriately.

The woman sued Cusick, ABC and a Hawaiian production company. Her lawyer tells us she has settled with all the defendants and the terms are confidential.

Lost on The Colbert Report Posted by DarkUFO at 10/27/2009 10:48:00 AM (Comments: 3) Labels: TV appearance

Thanks to Marco for the following.

I’ve found a possible media mention in yesterday’s Colbert Report. After the first commercial break there was a sequence where they showed a job application letter. The name on it was “Jim LeFleur” (not LaFleur) from Portland. It’s nothing big, but I thought I’ll give you a heads up. I made a quick screenshot of the application letter mentioned and I now noticed some of the Lost numbers under the name.
