LOST - Series Finale - Deleted Scene

Thanks to Bruce for the video.

Matthew Fox Says He is Open to Making a LOST Movie

Whoa so not that this is a big shock but for a couple of years now LOST writers Damon and Carlton said that there is no movie planned and The End is THE end. At the same time I believe Matthew Fox in many interviews said that he was done with LOST when it was over.

So this is an interesting turn of events.

Here is the quick video thanks to Sluky for the heads up!

Do you guys think there should be a LOST Movie??

Season 6 DVD Bonus Footage and Samples of LOST Encyclopedia via SDCC2010

So at SDCC2010 there was a panel for the LOST Encyclopedia with the authors of the encyclopedia.

They were awesome, answered several questions and confirmed that the epilogue will be a part of the encyclopedia but that because they wanted to make sure everything was included that the release date of the book was being pushed back a few weeks.

During the panel they confirmed that anything in the book is canon and said that details of Walt would be covered if it is a part of the epilogue. They confirmed the Missing Pieces Mobisodes as canon and once again confirms that the actual first scene on the island for our Losties is not Jack's Eye opening, but when Christian tells Vincent to go get Jack.

The first entry in the book is Aaron and the last is Zodiac and that the book is 400 pages long!

In addition to all the encyclopedia stuff there was a 60 second clip from the bonus footage of the Season 6 DVD set. Nothing too revealing but the clip is below.

They also gave us a glimpse of some of the pages and I posted some pictures below.

I apologize for the quality and I am sure some fans that had better cameras than my cellphone have some better images.

Enjoy!

ODI LOSTcast 72 - Series Finale Recap Part 1

WOW. I do not believe it! Yup an ODI LOST Podcast!

It feels like it has been ages and well frankly when it was the recap of the finale of the best show of our lifetime and we made you wait weeks and weeks to get part 1, well I it has been ages and I don't blame all of you for wondering WTF happened?

Unfortunately there is not one simple answer to that question. I initially decided to take some time to get some personal stuff done but knew I had time because of the giveaway and well most of you that have seen the updates know there was some cheating going on that led to some changes in how the winner was picked. It was still someone from the emails and some one picked at random.

Thanks to all of you that submitted entries we really appreciate it and of course thanks for waiting so patiently!! The lucky winner of the LOST Complete Collection DVD set and LOST encyclopedia is:

Patrick Curry who sent in the following email after winning:

When I fell for Lost I fell hard. I rapidly consumed all things that had to do with the show which, combined with my burgeoning habit of listening to podcasts during my commute, led me to The Odi. The Odi lead me to DarkUfo and so many great recaps. But really it was The Odi and the LOSTcast that I found to be the perfect supplement to the raw data of Lostapedia and it quickly became part of my daily surfing routine. Damon and Carlton have often said that the fans are just as much a part of the show as the writers and to me, The Odi is proof of this. All the content here, the information behind the scenes, in front of the scenes, cast and crew interviews and the rich content of the podcast have made me feel like part of the mythology. Something that cannot be duplicated no matter how many re-watches. I am forever grateful for this. And for things like this amazing contest! A big, fat Thank You to The Odi for all this. Through rain, snow and a house fire The Odi was always there. However, I have, admittedly, been myopic with the site, head in the Lost sand, but my daily visits continue and I'm discovering new life after Lost. Lots to be excited about. None of it will be Lost but that's okay, I recently learned how to let go.

Congratulations to Patrick and thanks to DK Publishing for sponsoring the prize!

I am really glad that after all the confusion a loyal fan won! Well there were a few other minor reasons for the additional delays but I am glad it is finally out for you all to hear!

In part 1 we cover all of the afterlife/purgatory/ALT world scenes and always throw in thoughts about other moments from LOST. Please let us know if you agree or disagree and your thoughts in the comments section below.

I will be at Comic Con this weekend so if anyone of you will be there and would like to meet up please let me know. It will be awesome to hang with some Losties again!

Now word on the street is there might be some stuff about the LOST DVD set at Comic Con so we will update you with anything we see.

As far as the plan for part 2 we will record next week sometime and hopefully have it out a week or so later. So look for a second part in a couple of weeks.

So I hope you all enjoy!

Cuse and Lindelof reaction to the Emmy Nominations

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, exec producers, "Lost"
Lindelof: "It sounds so cliche that it's great to be nominated but that's what we're basking in now. We don't take this for granted. And the fact that the love was spread to Michael Giacchino, Jack Bender, the sound mixers and art direction is great. It'll be cool to put on the monkey suits again and get together one last time."

Cuse: "My strategy is to sleep through these type of things. I checked my phone and saw there were a lot of emails. Bad news avoids you like the plague. … For Matthew (Fox) , he's labored almost unfairly on a show that's more ensemble-oriented than the guys he's competing aginst. Fortunately, the finale was Matthew-centric and he was finally given a chance to be front and center in such a way that allows voters to take notice. He was so critical to our show."

Carlton Cuse on the Finale and DVD extra "The New Man In Charge"

Thanks to Donna for the heads up on this little snippet from Carlton at the recent Saturn Awards.

Finally, Carlton Cuse, the producer of Lost, entered the pressroom, after accepting the award for Best TV Series. I asked him what reaction they had received from the fans on the finale? “It seems like a lot of people liked it,” he answered. “I think obviously there were people who didn’t like it and that was to be expected. But we stand by the finale, we made the finale that we wanted to make and we’re happy with it, and we’re gratified that a lot of people seem to react positively to it.

“In terms of specifics,” he continued, “we feel like we answered what we were going to answer in the show. There’s a twelve minute segment on the DVDs that are coming out in August that have a few answers that were not in the show, and I think fans will really enjoy that. It’s the final little quota to the experience of Lost. Several of the major stars in the show will be featured. That’s all I really want to say. It’s fun and we feel like people are going to enjoy seeing a final little chapter of the series.”
