Search for Clues With LOST Cast and Writers at PaleyFest

Thanks to Adam for the heads up about this AP video with interviews with the LOST Cast and Writers that also has the sneak peek of Episode 6x06 Sundown mixed in.

If there’s been one knock on ‘Lost’s new season, it’s that the alternate reality where Flight 815 didn’t crash has left people a bit cold. Are those storylines going to get more compelling?
I have no way to read that kind of thing; I simply do my best when I’m performing it. But I’ve been told by one person who’s seen it that in the episode coming up, [the "sideways" storytelling] really kicks in.

In one clip that ABC released, it looks like John’s box-company boss isn’t very happy with him.
Yeah, Randy is just a little upset. There are repercussions for John’s trip to Australia that send him on a new journey in that “alternate universe” – and that will overlap with other characters from the island.

On the romantic front, things seem to be going well for John and Helen (played by Katey Sagal). In that same clip, there’s mention of a wedding.
Yeah, but I wouldn’t say it’s Helen [who is marrying John]. I wont say it’s not Helen either. Yes, apparently a wedding is being planned – but John might be making that up too!

How soon will we learn why Smokey was “very disappointed” with the people there on the beach?
I’m not exactly sure why Smokey said that – maybe it was just because they were pointing guns at him when he came out? I wonder if there’s going to be a payoff to that line or not.

Is it safe to say that Smokey swiftly silenced Richard because he was afraid he’d reveal too much to the onlookers?
No, it’s not safe to say that. Locke speaks to why he silenced Richard so quickly in one of the next few episodes. He tells Richard why he did that.

I read that around midseason, you have a scene where you unload a lot of island history. Was it hard to grasp all of it as you said it?
It’s delivered so piecemeal, and I’m fed it the same way the audience is fed it, that it’s not hard to grasp. All I have to know is “What are my lines?” and “What is my character’s objective in this scene?”

Set Report and Photos - Ben Watches Locke in Wheelchair

Thanks to one of our Island contacts EsPiA who has sent through the following filming report. This could be for 6.02 or 6.03

I got a call that Lost was filming near my work yesterday. I had the day off so I thought what the hell I'll give it a try. Their filming location was right next to a public walkway and I used that to my advantage for a couple of hours.

Exterior scene. Outside the doors of a medical building. (pictured below with Ben and Ben's photo double)

Michael Emerson is sitting in the background with his trenchcoat off, he was talking to the crew and just relaxing in between takes. His photo double was being moved into position by the people behind the camera and they were taking some sort of light and camera measurement. Like I said this was very much a public walkway and they only stopped pedestrian traffic when they were filming. I walked nearly right next to the cameras on the walkway and I covertly snapped a photo. One of the members of the security staff immediately saw me and told me I could watch the filming from the public access areas but asked me not to take any more photos and to please dispose of any previous photos I may have taken.

Michael Emerson came back on set and was wearing a long gray trenchcoat with black pants. In the first part of the scene Ben is watching someone from a distance as they exit this building. It's some sort of medical building as doctors and nurses were used as extras coming in and out of the building. Because of where I was standing I could not see who Ben was watching. I shifted positions and moved over towards the building a little bit and holy shit there he was, Johnny Fucking Locke. Locke was in his wheelchair and at this time they were just filming Ben watch Locke wheel himself out of the building. Locke seemed very sad and kept his head down as he wheeled himself towards the street.

After that they moved towards the street very close to us on the public walkway. Locke is sitting in his wheelchair waiting for a cab (or some other form of transportation). He looks depressed and they showed him watching this little kid running with a red ball and the ball goes into the street and the kid runs after it and they did a stunt where a car slams on it's brakes and the car never really got remotely close to the kid but maybe it will look better on camera. They put the camera on Locke trying to save the kid but he can't walk and there's nothing he could do. Locke falls out of his wheelchair and tries to crawl towards the kid to save him. The kid is fine and he just picks up his ball and runs back onto the sidewalk. They showed Ben watching this from behind Locke and once Locke tries to save the kid Ben must have seen what he had been waiting for as he ran over to Locke and helped him up. Locke is pissed off at the world and he didn't want to be helped up.

Hey All,
Just wanted to let you all know I am back from my wonderful trip to the beautiful Hawaii!!

Thanks to everyone that helped get me around and that I visited with!!

Now before leaving I mentioned a potential MAJOR spoiler I could not Tweet about. On the last day I was in Oahu, I got a call from some one that had some really good inside information.

Of course they knew their job was on the line and asked me not to post anything we talked about. So I told them I would respect their word, but asked if there was anything I could reveal to you all and they gave me one little tidbit which I felt was big, but not shocking.

This is what they said: "At the studios it seems like they are setting up for a plane set"

When I asked them for more they would not reveal more. This person is legit, but I am not sure if the plane is Flight 815 as a reset or any other plane??

I know you all have seen a few of the pics of the 4-Toed statue set and I will post more soon, but I did want to let you all know this tip before I begin working and trying to catch up with the 1000s of emails!!

NOTE: Studios of course I am assume is Diamond Head studios, where we were able to confirm earlier this week BOTH Terry O' Quinn and Michael Emerson were filming scenes together.

Latest Details and Spoilers About LOST Season 5 Finale from TV Guide Scan

Thanks to Thirty-Fiver for the spoilery tidbits:

-O'Quinn: There are revelations about my character that are so shocking, I can't even begin to address them.
-Emerson: (in regard to Ben being apart of S6) I'm in a scene that you'll want to see the next beat of. Something is left hanging. The audience is going to be left wondering who will be on this program next season.

Hey All,
TV Guide has a new report about the LOST Season 5 Finale that confirms we will see some "dead" characters return.

Both Michael Emerson and Terry O' Quinn give their thoughts.

Thanks to the TheDemonHog for the heads up.

Here is the article:

The dead will walk again in Lost's two-hour season finale on May 13. Michael Emerson, who plays Ben Linus, tells me, “We see some people from the past. It keeps us speculating why certain people seem to be holding on and revisiting the living in some interesting ways.”

Terry O’Quinn--whose John Locke is one of the undead, says the finale will help explain why John, as well as Jack’s father, Christian, came back to life on the island. “Someone thought they’d be useful,” teases O’Quinn. “Someone is using Locke to their ends.”

So who do you think might be making a return appearance in the finale? Claire? Charlie? Charlotte? (What’s with all these C characters anyway?) And if Charles Widmore is Daniel’s father, who else might he have fathered on the island? Might Charlie and Charlotte have both been named after him?

Thanks to Jim for the heads up.

Terry O'Quinn had a very interesting interview with the Deminski & Doyle Morning Show on 94.7 WCSX in Detroit...some interesting theories and much more

A LOST fan in Canada claims they spoke to Terry O' Quinn over the weekend.

With the cast and crew working on Episode 5x01 and close to beginning 5x02, does that mean we will NOT see Locke in the early episodes of Season 5!? Well yes, it is possible for them to just shoot his scenes later, but maybe we are in the future (present 2007/08) and Locke is in the coffin as Jeremy Bentham!? MAYBE he is just filming some scenes there...!? ;)

What do you guys think??


Here is the report from DarkUFO reader Andrew.

This weekend a close friend of mine, and fellow LOST fanatic, was in Whistler, Bc, Canada for the weekend. She called me this morning to let me know that while she was up there she got a chance to meet John Locke (Terry O'Quinn). I assume they are shooting episode 5.01 right now, so this could mean we won't see any John Locke, or Jeremy Bentham, until at least episode 5.02

She tried to get something juicy out of him, but he was not budging an inch, haha

Terry O'Quinn (Locke) is the latest cast member of LOST to make an appearance on a talk show and this time it is on the The View on ABC.

It is a fun little interview and includes one of the sneak peeks for this week's episode (Eggtown) which is a Kate Centric episode.

The lucky crowd also got to take home an early release of the LOST Video Game, Via Domus.
