LOST Spoilers - The ODI

Hey All,
Here is the latest filming report for the LOST Season 5 finale Episode 5x16/17 The Incident.

The key thing to note is at least in this scene that Ben is still alive at this moment.

Thanks to a fan named GamblingMan from the STV Forums for the report and do not forget you can access the forums by click the tab above that says "Forums"

They were filming on the beach. Set up were multiple tan tents. I believe the new guy that looks like Syied was sitting outside one of the tents with a metal basin, like one you would put water in. I believe these tents belonged to the crash survivors of the Ajira flight. (yes I know my spelling is probably way off). Sitting on the beach were Ben, Sun and Locke. Richard walks up to them and has something in his hand, maybe the compass he gave John, I don't know. They talk for a minute and then he walks away. What I found interesting is that John and Ben were with Sun and they were talking to Richard. We also went to camp erdman and there was a house, hut, cabin whatever you want to call it that was blown up. Not sure if that is from a previous episode or something coming up.

Last we reported that Said Taghmaoui was joining the cast of LOST as a recurring character for Season 5 and possibly Season 6.

However, today comes word via a recent interview that Taghmaoui will be in 5 or 6 Episodes for Season 5 and will be a part of the regular cast in Season 6. According to the report he will actually play a key part of show and the series finale!!

Wow, this is some interesting news. If Caeser will be a key to the finale, is he the leader of the Others or Hostiles...!? Is he connected to Dharma or even possibly Jacob!? Or is he maybe The Economist or connected to Widmore....!?

So many questions already!!

Well here is the report enjoy!

Thanks to Dark for the heads up.

I`m a French journalist from the website "AlloCine" (the number one site about cinema and tv series in France) and this afternoon, I interviewed the French actor Saïd Taghmaoui who will play Caesar in "Lost".

I have a little information : he goes to Hawaii around the 15th of October. He will appear in about 5 or 6 episodes of the season five and he will be part of the regular cast in season 6. He hasn`t read any scripts yet so there`s not much he can say about his role. Just that he is one of the key which leads to the big series finale ! He won`t play in French but in English.

(A video of the interview will be available soon on our website)

Hey All,
One the casting calls from a couple of weeks ago mentioned a new recurring character by the name of Caeser. Well today, we get confirmation from EW that Said Taghmaoui will be playing this character who will also play a important role in Season 6.

Speculation by fans is already flying all over the place with fans feeling that Caeser is related to the Danielle storyline or perhaps the Dharma Initiative.

Taghmaoui is an up and coming actor and recently shared the big screen in Matthew Fox's Vantage Point and plays one of the Joes in the new G.I. Joe live action movie.

The casting call and report from EW inform us that the new character is a mysterious, dangerous and intelligent character. The article also provides us with some additional information about the other new reccuring character Illana and that we will definitely see more of Jeff Fahey as Frank Lapidus.

Here is the article:

Hungry for an appetizer of Lost scoop as you impatiently starve for the start of season 5, which bows in early ’09? Then feast on this: Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof tell EW they’ve just completed casting of two major new characters joining their saga next year. Last week, Michael Ausiello reported the addition of New Amsterdam alum Zuleikha Robinson. This week, we’d like to introduce you to Saïd Taghmaoui, a French thesp most recently seen in the Don Cheadle thriller Traitor. He’ll play Caesar, a mystery man who... um... well, that’s all we got. But the producers say the actor’s skill set fits the part. “He has an innate intelligence, intensity, and danger we really responded to,” says Lindelof, who declined to specify whether Caesar is good or bad, though he did tease that the character will be playing “an important part of the setup for the final act of the show in season 6." He also confirms that Robinson’s Ilana is associated with Caesar, and Cuse likens her to Heath Ledger’s Joker in The Dark Knight. “There was something very unsettling about the way the Joker kept telling different stories about his background -- something very similar to what we had planned for Ilana,” he says.

Look for a delayed introduction for the duo, beginning with an intriguing set-up followed by a gradual increase in screen time that won't detract from established faves, much like how season 4’s newbies, the Freighter Folk (Jeremy Davies, Rebecca Mader, Ken Leung, Jeff Fahey), were worked into the mix. (The producers say we’ll be seeing more of the FF next year, too — even Fahey, last seen escaping the Island with the Oceanic 6).

FYI: Zuleikha rhymes with You-Like-A, while Saïd sounds just like Lost’s own Sayid. In fact, Taghmaoui also played — get this — the Iraqi soldier who tortured Mark Wahlberg in Three Kings. Should theorists be looking for hidden meaning in this seemingly coincidental linkage? “No,” says Lindelof. “Just... no.” Oh, okay. But how about the theory that Smokey is... [Click] Hello? Hello?!
