Damon, Carlton, and Doc Jensen at Comic-Con 2011
Dan Snierson and Jeff “Doc” Jensen interviewed Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse after the LOST panel. They talk about the new “secret” footage and what it’s like being at Comic-Con this year.
Wasn’t able to embed the video, but here’s a link where you can watch it: EW interview with Darlton at 2011 Comic-Con.

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were surprise guests at Jeff “Doc” Jensen and Dan Snierson’s “Entertainment Weekly Presents Totally LOST One Year Later” panel at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con yesterday afternoon.
Darlton said they had a scene from the Season 1 finale that had never been shown before — and that it would prove, once and for all, that they had planned the ending from the start.
It was actually a joke, as the footage was shot last week. It’s pretty funny, though:
“Yahoo for you and your light.” LOL.
The new footage was shot by Jack Bender on a back lot at Disney.
Here’s a good write-up of the event: LOST producers reunite at Comic-Con.
Josh Holloway in Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol trailer
The “Bad Robot” logo made me feel nostalgic.
It’s hard to even see Josh in the clip. The picture at the top of this post is from when he flashed on the screen for a fraction of a second, around 1:04 on the trailer.
(Editing to add): Here’s a short clip of Josh Holloway talking about what it’s been like working on the film. He said it’s been “like Disneyland for men” because of all the stunts and the action, and that working with Tom Cruise was an honor. When it came to stunts, he said, Cruise was a stud.
Oh, I like this:
In case you can’t see images, it says:
Damaged people crash on damaged island. People fix each other, then island. All consumed in bright light. Yay! (or Boo!) #LOSTINONETWEET

Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson filming "Person of Interest"
The good news is that Michael Emerson has been cast as the lead in another new J.J. Abrams show, Person of Interest. He’s going to play a billionaire who hires a presumed-dead ex-CIA agent to catch violent criminals in New York.
This, strangely, combines plot elements of two other planned LOST-alumni shows: Jorge Garcia’s Alcatraz, which will be about a group of prisoners and guards who mysteriously disappeared and then showed up again 30 years later, and Odd Jobs, where Emerson and O’Quinn were to be ex-black-ops agents.
I wonder what will happen to Odd Jobs if Person of Interest becomes a hit. It seems unlikely that Emerson could star in two shows at once. I’ll be glad to see him in anything, but I really wanted to see him reunited with Terry O’Quinn.
Co-starring with Emerson are Jim Caviezel (Jesus in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ), Taraji P. Henson (Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and Natalie Zea (Winona in Justified). The writer is Jonathan Nolan, who wrote the story on which the movie Memento was based, and the screenplay for Dark Knight.
New York Magazine listed it as one of the 20 most exciting pilots of the upcoming TV season, even though they gave it only a 50-50 chance of actually getting on the air.
Alcatraz at dawn
Jorge, who was the first actor cast for the show, will play the “hippy geek” Dr. Diego Soto, a world-class authority on Alcatraz. J.J. Abrams is co-executive producer. Filming will begin in January in San Francisco and Vancouver.

The TV comedy Community took a swipe at LOST in this stop-motion animated episode (Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas).
In Santa’s workshop, Abed and Pierce look for the meaning of Christmas. A gift tag on a box promises that they can find the meaning inside. Inside the box is another box, and then another, and another. Finally Abed finds the gift inside, takes it out, and looks at it:
Abed: It’s the first season of LOST on DVD.
Pierce: That’s the meaning of Christmas?
Abed: No, it’s a metaphor. It represents lack of payoff.
Ouch. Damon Lindelof responded on Twitter and had the following exchange with Dan Harmon, Community‘s creator:
Damon: Okay, COMMUNITY. It’s ON!!!! Now if only I had a show to zing you back. And if only you weren’t awesome. Sigh…
Dan Harmon: @DamonLindelof Oh, man, Did not want you guys to see that! Relieved you are a good sport. Thank you for the flattery. Owe you a drink.
Damon: @danharmon Been a fan since CHANNEL 101, sir. There is no honor greater than being roasted. But I AM taking you up on that drink.
Dan Harmon: @DamonLindelof “a fan since channel 101?” WHAT?! That’s great. Maybe if we go out, @HartHanson will get jealous and leave his cabin.
Damon: @danharmon Two words. Laser. Fart.
Dan Harmon: Ahhhhh, I THOUGHT I detected a slight influence!
