Lost Producers Shocked By Latest Emmy Nod Posted by b3rt4 at 7/17/2009 05:01:00 AM (Comments: 5) Labels: Benjamin Linus, Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, Emmy Awards, Michael Emerson, Online Article, The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham, TV Guide

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."

Jack Bender in Israel Posted by DarkUFO at 7/15/2009 02:47:00 PM (Comments: 16) Labels: Interview, Jack Bender, Video

Update: 18:50 Thanks to Pawel here are some more videos of Jack Bender in Israel.

Thanks to our very own Carmel for sending us this.

Lost director answering fan questions, talking about series ending and more. highlights:

* his wife Laura is a rabbi also does looping of the whispers on the show. He confirms some of the whispers contain hidden messages.

* I kinda push him with the production errors till he suspects I'm a script supervisor... we get confirmation that the "woman" behind Sun when meeting Christian is from the crew and not Claire, that Little Ben's bullet location is a mistake BUT the dialog from the Marina (s5ep4) that later is shown from different character perspectives and is written differently - it was done so for a reason!!! read Vozek69's theory on that:

* spoilers: Damon saw the marketplace in Iraq set on the web because of someone who shot it from across the street. they fear of finale being spoiled so they consider shooting it outside Hawaii, maybe in Israel (joke?).

* describes the series ending as thrilling and satisfying.

* season 6 will be focusing on the core world of the series like season 1.

* at the end there's was a weird mic sound like a horn, very smoke-monster like. was funny.

Man Suing ABC Claiming LOST Was His Idea First!? (*Updated*) Posted by The ODI at 7/14/2009 06:00:00 PM (Comments: 50) Labels: TMZ

Update: 16th July Here is a link to the original claim back in 2005
Update: 18:20 Here is a little update since The ODI posted this last night.

1) Anthony Spinner produced and/or wrote for The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Cannon, Search,The FBI, Return of the Saint, and Baretta
2) He claims he was paid $30,000 for the show outline back in 1977
3) He sued both ABC and Touchstone Television back in 2005 but was thrown out due to a technicality



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:

Titus Welliver (Man in Black) Discusses his Role on LOST Posted by The ODI at 7/14/2009 05:49:00 AM (Comments: 8) Labels: Interview, Man in Black, Season 5, Season 6, Titus Welliver, TV Guide

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."

Matthew Fox Lies Low in Scots Town Posted by DarkUFO at 7/12/2009 11:34:00 AM (Comments: 15) Labels: Interviews, Matthew Fox, Online Article

Thanks to Donna for the heads up.

HOLLYWOOD actor Matthew Fox thought he could get away from the pressures of fame on a trip to the north of Scotland.

So the star of mould-breaking TV series Lost was shocked when he was spotted by fans in the harbour town of Lossiemouth.

Matthew, 42, was sight-seeing in the north-east with his 12-year- old daughter Kyle on their first visit to Scotland.

He said: "I was very surprised by how excited everybody was that I was there.

"It is always very strange to me because I try to convince myself that nobody in the world knows who I am and I am just going to do what I want.

"But the Scottish people were very nice and polite and the countryside is absolutely spectacular. It was a very good stay. I enjoyed it very much.

"We flew to Aberdeen then drove to Lossiemouth and it was stunning - a beautiful town.

Sunshine

Matthew brought Kyle to Morayshire to go to a world-renowned summer school after hearing about its programme of academic, art, drama, sport and adventure courses.

Speaking at the Rome Fiction TV Festival, he said: "We had a nice couple of days there. My daughter Kyle is having a great time in Scotland.

"It stays light. The sun did not set until 10.30 at night then it just got dusk for a few hours till the sun came back up again, which was pretty awesome - I loved that."

The actor may have loved all things Scottish but admits he was not brave enough to try our national dish.

He said: "I didn't try haggis but I had lamb. I didn't go for any of the more radical things. I might try haggis next time."

Matthew is now off to film the sixth and final series of Lost in Hawaii with co-stars Evangeline Lilly, Ian Somerhalder and Dominic Monaghan.

He revealed the end of the awardwinning show about the bizarre adventures of the survivors of a plane crash will be a landmark in his life and career.

After the final scenes are shot, he plans to move his family - wife, former model Margherita, Kyle, and eight-year-old son Byron - to a ranch in Oregon and take as much as six months off.

Matthew, who grew up on a ranch in Wyoming, said: "I am not a tropical island, sunshine every day person.

"I am 42 and a father of two children and I don't want to miss them growing up. I don't want to find myself 10 years from now feeling like I was an absentee father because I was so focused on my career."

When he is ready to work again, Matthew wants to have a less all- consuming schedule by making just one or two movies a year.

He said: "I am not going to do television again. That's not because I think film is better than television. Not at all, in some of the respects some of the best storytelling is happening on television.

"But I have done two TV shows - Lost and Party Of Five - that have each run for six years. When you add it all up it is in the vicinity of 300 hours of television."

"I want to find a way to have more control over when I am working and when I'm not. I'm looking for more flexibility.

"And when the movie is finished I really need to spend time with the people who are the most important in the world to me."

The global success of Lost has turned Matthew into a hot property and he has appeared in films such as the thriller Vantage Point, kids adventure Speed Racer and true life sports drama We Are Marshall.

Not surprisingly, since he first got on horseback when he was only six years old, Matthew's dream is to make a Western.

Westerns That wish might come true since the Wild West is back in fashion in the film world. There is even talk of the Coen Brothers - Oscar-winning makers of No Country For Old Men - doing a remake of True Grit.

Matthew said: "If there are more Westerns made then I would be happy. I love them and someday I would love to be in one."

Despite being one of the world's most famous faces, the actor is an unlikely star.

At university he got a degree in economics with the aim of getting a job on Wall Street. But after one interview he figured a life in high finance was not for him. Nor did he seem ideally suited to an acting career, as he was born into a home where therewas no TV set.

Matthew said: "It was not so much that my dad didn't like television, he just really loved books and I'm trying to carry on the old man's tradition.

"We allow our kids to watch a little bit of television. An hour a day is the rule but they are very manipulative and wily about finding ways to extend that.

"I don't want to be as a hard core as my dad was, though I respect him a great deal."

Matthew reckons that it is not a bad thing if kids complain they are bored because they do not have TV to watch.

He added: "When you are bored, you are going to use your imagination to develop some version of the world that is exciting to you. That was something my father encouraged."

Perhaps restricting his own children's viewing in the same way will lead them to become international TV stars? Matthew said: "I don't think my dad has ever fully explored the irony of that."

Damon and Carlton Interview Posted by DarkUFO at 7/09/2009 04:21:00 PM (Comments: 5) Labels: Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, Interviews, Video

Thanks to DerAndre for the heads up.

C21TV catches up with Lost showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to discuss the art of storytelling, the state of US drama and what the duo will be up to after the sci-fi blockbuster finishes its six-season run on ABC next summer.

The video special, published under C21's Content Lab brand, follows C21TV's interview with Heroes creator Tim Kring, as well as LA Screenings specials with NCIS LA showrunner Shane Brennan and the execs behind shows such as The Beautiful Life, Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries.

In the interview, co-creator Lindelof and executive producer Cuse discuss the impact Lost has had on American drama, as well as the challenges the industry faces in the current climate and the growth of sci-fi on US TV.

The duo also discuss how they plan to manage fans' expectations as the show heads into its final season, and talk about forthcoming projects including Stephen King's The Dark Tower and Star Trek 2.

Thanks to Marisa for the heads up.

Sterling Beaumon, who played little Ben on Lost last season, has managed to find an even creepier role. The 14-year-old will play a meth-addicted drug dealer (that's right!) in a mid-August episode of TNT's The Closer, which will also feature Christine Lahti. Coincidentally, 13-year-old actress Madeline Carroll, who played little Ben's Dharmaville playmate two seasons ago, pops up on another Closer episode at the end of July. So far, no polar bears are scheduled to scare Kyra Sedgwick's Brenda Leigh Johnson anytime soon.

Island Fever: Exploring LOST Posted by b3rt4 at 7/08/2009 01:45:00 PM (Comments: 1) Labels: Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, Online Article

Ben Falk gets the lowdown on Sky One’s smash hit Lost from executive producer/writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

“It goes directly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” laughs Damon Lindelof, thankful to his assistant for protecting him from the worst of the post he regularly receives. “There is some threatening mail, like ‘if you dare have Sawyer and Juliet consummate their relationship, I’ll never watch the show again’.”

Unfortunately for Angry from Cleveland – and Lindelof, 36, co-creator and exec producer of Lost – that ship has sailed. Luckily, there are millions more around the world who continue to be glued to one of the most intricate, daring, grand and successful shows in television history.

Despite the extreme reactions (“It’s never our intention to raise ire,” he insists), Lindelof and his co-pilot Carlton Cuse, 50, often listen to the fans and their opinions. “The kind of feedback we get in those forums is actually fairly constructive for us,” says Cuse. “After the season ends, it’s always good to get a sense of how the viewer responded, and that filters into our thinking.”

Fans will get a chance to air their views when the pair come to BAFTA for a Q&A in July, and the anticipation is already mounting, since the programme has recently finished its fifth and penultimate series on Sky One and audiences are now preparing for next year’s final 18 episodes. The audience then will finally get to see the loose ends of the many, many strands of mythology tied up, mainly thanks to a unique deal the creators struck with host network ABC.

“The American television model is like the Pony Express – you ride it until it drops underneath you,” says Cuse. “We didn’t want that to happen and we were able to negotiate an end-date three years out, which was unprecedented. We owe a debt of gratitude to JK Rowling.When she announced there would be seven Harry Potter books, that completely defined the journey. People knew exactly what they were getting into.”

Of course, even for regular viewers of the show, precisely what they’re watching is frequently open to discussion.

Ostensibly, Lost is about a group of plane crash survivors (played by Matthew Fox, Terry O’Quinn and Evangeline Lilly amongst many others) struggling to exist on a desert island somewhere in the South Pacific (actually Oahu,Hawaii).

If only it were that simple. Throw timetravel, electro-magnetism, sentient smoke monsters and polar bears into the mix and you’ve got one of the most dissected serials ever produced.

“The Prisoner was a big influence for us,” admits Cuse. “It was 17 episodes and the enigmatic nature of that series had a lot of influence in constructing Lost as a story where the audience had to participate and interpret events.We thought maybe we would be like Twin Peaks or The Prisoner and we’d end up having a cult DVD following. But then the ratings came in and it was huge.”

“I guess it was my dream to create a television show that created a culture around it like the shows I grew up loving, like X-Files and Buffy The Vampire Slayer,” adds Lindelof. “I think it came along at exactly the right time, when the internet became the water-cooler for people to aggregate the show – and that culture’s really blossomed.”

Despite today’s climate of spoilers and web reveals, the surprises, which often include major character deaths, have managed to stay fairly intact,much of which is to do with the dedicated and enormous team who put the show together.

Over 425 people work on Lost, whilst its crew include or have included DOP Larry Fong (Watchmen, 300) and JJ Abrams (Star Trek, Cloverfield) who co-created the show and directed the pilot. Meanwhile, seasoned TV director Jack Bender, says Lindelof, came in and showed “what we could do with eight days of photography and how we could still retain this filmic look.”

Though not involved in the initial episodes, Cuse (who created Don Johnson vehicle Nash Bridges) was soon brought on by Lindelof (previously a supervising producer on crime show Crossing Jordan) who took over the day-to-day running of the show when Abrams left to make Mission: Impossible 3.

“I’d given Damon his first job and he was calling me and asking me for advice,” remembers Cuse. “I fell in love with the material and believed something special could happen, so I came over.” Now the duo are the creative hub, presiding over a small group of writers. And before you ask – yes, they do know how the show’s going to end.

“The mythology is all planned out,” says Cuse. “We’ve known the ending for quite some time.”

That’s not to say they’re happy about it. “I’ll probably work on other shows or movies, but I will never outdo the accomplishment that is Lost,” says Lindelof. “Nor will I set the bar that high for myself. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

May we suggest a journey to the island, Mr. Lindelof. After all that’s where miracles happen...

The Last Season of 'Lost': 'Anything goes.' Posted by b3rt4 at 7/08/2009 01:39:00 PM (Comments: 2) Labels: Online Article

As Lost fans are keenly aware, exec producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof usually remain in "radio silence" (their term) after the conclusion of every season until their annual summit meeting with thousands of geeked-up loyalists at Comic-Con each July in San Diego. However, in advance of this year's much anticipated appearance (slated for the morning of July 25, according to insiders), Cuse and Lindelof have been giving interviews to press over in England while they attend a salute to Lost at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Not that they are saying much: in an interview with Digital Spy, the producers declined to answer questions about the season 5 finale (specifically: is Juliet really dead?) and wouldn't comment on their last season vision. But when asked what seems to be the burning question of the moment--will we be seeing departed characters like Boone, Shannon and Charlie make return appearances next year?--Lindelof teased that they do hope to give many fan favorites some sort of "curtain call." How might Lost accomplish that creative feat, given most of these departed folks are, like, dead? TBD, though Lindelof does remind us that Lost was figuratively time traveling (see: flashbacks and flash-forwards) long before it was literally time traveling (see: season 5). Then again, when it comes to Season Six, Lindelof tells Digital Spy, "anything goes." (You can also view the entire video interview at darkufo.blogspot.com,. though be warned: the clip is housed in the site's spoiler section, despite not being overly spoilery.)

There's been other Lost news recently, too. Last week, word got out that there will be 18 hours next season instead of the planned 17. The extra 60 minutes will be used to mount a two-hour season premiere. Also, ABC and the producers are asking fans to write and record their own "mock theme song" for Lost. Now this is a challenge that just may inspire me to pick up the guitar that my wife and kids gave me for Father's Day, despite my total lack of six-string experience. But it's never too late to learn. And as it happens, I work with a pretty aces guitar player: none other than "Totally Lost" co-host Dan Snierson. Maybe he can give me some pointers. Maybe we can write our own Lost mock theme song! And maybe we could even perform it... at our own "Totally Lost" panel at Comic-Con! Yes, you read that right: we're doing the panel thing. And if you're going to Comic-Con, we hope you'll come! I'll have some more details for you the week of July 20. Until then, send me your questions, theories, and funny pictures to DocJensenEW@gmail.com--I am answering email this summer!

Video 1

Interviewer 1)... recently, talking about a plane disaster (the French Airbus gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean), many on the web started saying "they went on the Lost Island"; a latin american television came out with an exclusive video which turned out to be a clip from your show. How did you manage to break into the popula culture?
How did you do it?

Damon: Good morning....

Interviewer 2) .... (sorry I couldn't hear the first part of the question because of the background voices talking about the lousy translators) now that you are a worldwide phoenomenon which is the funniest criticism thet you ever received?
For example The Beatles didn't were rejected by the Decca and were told that their music didn't work, something like that?

Video 2

Interviewer 3) What do you think about the importance of writing? How do you work with you writers? Can you tell us about your typical work-day while creating a Lost episode? Then we'll watch another clip.

Interviewer 4) Jack, how do you interact with them (Darlton)?

Interviewer 5) How do you track everything that happaned in the show? Do you remember everything? Is there anybody helping you or do you have any instruments?


Interviewer 6) Now's the time for another clip


(....)

(the question is cut from the video but of course it's about the final scene from Exodus part I which was shown in the clip)

Video 3

Interviewer 7) How do you all work with the actors?


Interviewer 8)I think that a festival duty is to encourage the meetings so, ladies and gentlemen, Matthew Fox (background voices "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, I'VE GOT AN HEART ATTACK)

Interviewer 9) Matthew, talking about actors, how is working in this show and what did you think when you first read the script?

Interviewer 10) I'd say we watch another clip and then you can ask questions; the ladies will bring you the microphones and we'll try to let everyone talk.(....) So this was Chalie's Death in the flooded swan (public :"IT'S THE LOOKING GLASS, YOU IDIOT")
I was joking

Video 4

Interviewer 11) Why did you personally choose this clip?


Interviewer 12) Ok, let's start the questions.


Public 1) Hi, I'm Giuseppe Cozzolino, I teach "Multimedial Work Analisys" at the Eastern Naples Univeristy (Even I don't know what he means, in Italy we have a lot of lame courses in the Univeristy, kept by lame teachers) and I have dedicated a lot of lessons to your show which, as Marco (the interviewer) said it's more than just entertainment. This is a two part question, one serious, the other semi-serious. Let's start with the serious one, quiste easy: how do you imagine your professional future after Lost? are you thinking of any other projects?
The second one; let's talk about the big absent from this meeting: J.J. Abrams. We've recently seen him playing keyboards at the MTV movie awards with Neil Diamond. Tell us the scoop: after Lost you'll be joining him in a rock band with Matthew as lead singer.


Public 2) It's in english so my services are unnecessary

Video 5

Public 3) I am 60, my daughter is 24 and we both are enthusiast of Lost (applause and the rest is in "English")

Public 4) First of all I want to pay many compliments to everyone here. My question is for Matthew: there are many literature references in the show, what is your relashionship with literature?
And, being here among friends, I've read that you are the only actor in the cast who knows the series finale so if you want to tell us...

Public 5) I'm a screenwriter and I have to say that this work situation is quite unusual in Italy becase we screenwriters usually think that the directors are incapable, they think that we are illiterate and we all think that the actors are dogs so the question is don't you never argue? Did ever Damon and Carlton think that Jack (Bender) totally mistook the scene and misunderstood what they meant? Or did ever Jack think "What a lame scene they wrote, it doesn't really make sense"?
And by the way what happened to the executve that came out with the idea of Lost and then was fired (I think it was Jeffrey Lieber)? Do you pay anything to him or not?


Video 6

Public 6) English again, less work for me

Interviewer 13) Let's see the clip now

Interviewer 14) I'd see another clip so we can talk about both of them

Video 7
