J.J. Abrams. Lost was great this past season! Cloverfield, a love-it or hate-it movie, had people talking up a storm! And he brought us Fringe, a show with a great amount of potential. Plus in 2009, Star Trek will be rolling in. He should definitely be an option for Entertainer of the Year. —Vicky

It’s been six months(!) since Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment announced the December 9th release – on both DVD and high-definition Blu-ray Disc – of Lost – The Complete 4th Season: The Expanded Experience. In the press release from the original announcement, a nice list of bonus material was mentioned. And in May we followed up to mention that additional extras would be included: “The Lost Flashbacks” (flashback sequences that didn’t air on the original TV broadcasts) and an “Oceanic Airlines Safety Guide”.
However, neither report was able to confirm whether the 13 installments of “Lost: Missing Pieces” would be included in the North American release of the 4th Season Set. As a reminder, these are “mobisodes”: short (1.5 to 3.5 minute-long) “webisodes” that were original distributed for viewing on a mobile phone (through Verizon), but they were later made available online (at ABC.com) as well. It has been said at various Lost fan sites that the foreign DVD releases, including the U.K. and in South America, were including the mobisodes. But for some reason the USA/Canadian information has not yet been clear on whether these are part of the sets!
There were a lot of rumors when a final end date for ABC’s “Lost” was announced that, like THE X-FILES before it, the show might have a movie in there somewhere. While you might read elsewhere on the web that this is a “maybe,” don’t believe it. I got a chance to talk to “Lost” showrunner Damon Lindelof last week and he said the idea of a “Lost” movie “makes every bone in my fanboy body cry foul.”
Lindelof explains: “People have been so patient with the show and to basically say that we’re going to end the TV show but we’re going to leave some questions unanswered so that you can pay $14 and go see it in the theater?…” I asked him if this meant we’d never see the rumored movie. “You never say never but what we are saying is that when the final episode of ‘Lost’ airs, that will be very conclusive. There will not be a question mark of the end of the words ‘THE END.’”
Add this to JJ Abrams’ comments at the above-linked MTV story (where he says “my gut is [a 'Lost' movie] would never happen”) and you can downgrade that maybe to a not bloody likely. And to me, that’s a good thing.
Could There Be A ‘Lost’ Movie? Creator J.J. Abrams Says ‘Maybe’
For four seasons now, millions of “Lost” fans have tuned in each week to follow the mysterious, deeply complex adventures of Jack, Kate, John, Sawyer, Hurley and rest of the Island’s ever-growing population. But with only two seasons left in what’s arguably the most successful episodic series on television, producers are already looking towards the future…and that could potentially mean a trip to Hollywood for the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
Entertainment Weekly has named DriveShaft as a part of their list of the Top 20 fake Television and Movie bands.
