Hey All,
Our good friend and LOST podcaster Heath from The LOST Revisited podcast was one of the lucky few who had a chance to meet Josh Holloway up close and personal during an even in Santa Monica this week.

As always it seems like Josh was a true gentleman and I hope to meet him one day as well because he seems super cool.

Here are a couple of pics of Josh and you can check out the full details on Heath's blog here: Heath's World

I was lucky enough to be a guest at Josh Holloway’s appearance with acting coach Tom Ardavany in Santa Monica, Ca on Tuesday night (July 28th, 2009)

LOST San Diego Comic Con 09 Panel Opening

Here is the opening reveal of The Final Season (Season 6) Banner with the characters being revealed. You can clearly see Boone and Shannon appear and the last person is Locke facing backwards.

Locke facing backwards could be a reference to Locke coming back or Darth Locke, but what do you all think?

Here are two more videos with cast interviews after the LOST Panel at Comic Con.

Nothing new, but enjoy!

Thanks to Linton for the heads up!

LOST's Sonya Walger (Penny) can be seen in the first leaked footage of her new show FlashForward.

The first 16 minutes of the pilot episode were screened at Comic Con and we have it posted in the TV Spoilers Section here:

"A new Lost Season 6 promo poster has been seen at Comic-Con 2009! This poster includes all of the main characters from the show (both dead and alive). In the center is John Locke (or Flocke, Mr. X, Esau, Jacob's nemesis, etc.) with his back facing us. I almost passed out when I saw this promo poster; the excitement for Season 6 is killing me!! All of the main characters appearing on the promo for Season 6 could be seen as major foreshadowing for what we will see this upcoming season. This is an awesome, amazing promo poster, and has gotten me more excited about the upcoming season than ever. Share your thoughts and comments on this new promo!!". Source: Lostpedia

Thanks to NoOne for the heads up.

While Lost fans still have 18 hours of supernatural storytelling to look forward to come 2010, one harsh reality stands true: The ABC serial's appearance at the San Diego Comic-Con this Saturday will be its very last visit to that very big show.

"As Carlton [Cuse] says, it's 'the Cher farewell tour,'" fellow executive producer Damon Lindelof tells TVGuide.com. "So he will be performing 'Believe' in a unitard." Without missing a beat, Cuse confirms his plan to get "hair extensions" in time for his big number.

In all seriousness, the Lost bosses are taking this year's Con-fab very seriously, seeing as "it's our chance to commune with our most committed fans," says Cuse. "We go to Comic-Con to put on a really good panel, and this year will be the same."

What can the lucky throngs pouring into the San Diego Convention Center's Hall H on Saturday morning expect from one of the convention's hottest tickets, the "Lost: The Final Season Begins" panel?

"We're going to be showing some things, some new material," Lindelof teases. "And then we open the floor to fan questions, and answer them as honestly as we can."

But will that fan Q&A be spoilery? Lindelof says he and Cuse plan to "leak out some of the things we want to share," yet he also affirms the producers' resolve to keep details about Lost's swan song under the biggest lock and key in the drama's already-covert history.

"We're going to be very protective of the story in this final season," says Lindelof, "because we want people to watch."

But lest Comic-Conventioneers worry about walking away empty-handed, Cuse promises this: "There will be some cool stuff revealed, no question."

Hey All,
Well another unorganized event at Comic Con survived and ended successful for a few lucky fans including myself and reader of the site Alexis!

We were among the FEW that were able to get ourselves into the line to get a few moments with EM. She was super sweet and took a few extra seconds to chat.

I told her that ALL of the us love her on LOST and hope to see much more of her. Thay she rocks and can't wait to see her on V. She was very happy, shook my hand and took a pic as well!!

Enjoy!

Thanks to Erin who found this whilst at Comic-Con.

Anyone know what it is? it was found among the items at the LOST auction booth.

From Erin:

Make sure to check out the photo that comes after the Lost University card; that's the back of the card, and it's on every card, it's NOT a random scribble!



I called the number and below is the message you hear, nothing revealing as it confirms that the Prof. is on sabbatical until Sept 22

Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez are to star in the movie Machete, it has been claimed.

The film, which is to be co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, was featured as a mock trailer in the 2007 flick Grindhouse.

The plotline centres on a Mexican ex-federate that works as a day labourer while he hides out from a crooked politician that double-crossed him.

It is understood that the Oscar-winning actor will take on the role of Senator McLaughlin, while Rodriguez is to star as Luz, a source told BloodyDisgusting.com.

Danny Trejo, who portrayed the weapon-wielding individual in the faux coming attractions segment of Grindhouse, was also reported to be reprising his role. 21 Jump Street director-actor Jonah Hill has been suggested as being on board as Julio.

Filming for the movie is set to begin on July 29.

Michael Giacchino Directing The Lost Suite in Spain

Thanks to Lostzilla for the heads up

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

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."

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:

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!!

**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!
