Small Filming Snippets - HPU - 21st November

2009-11-20T20:21:00.003Z

Thanks to briar910 for the following

I received this email this morning from my Hawaii Pacific University email account

Hello, HPU Community:

This is a notice that LOST will be filming a scene on Saturday, Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to early afternoon in the alley behind the FS and MP buildings.

The moped parking area will still be available near Fort Street Mall, but will be not be available closer to the alley. There will be signs posted to that effect.

This is a chase scene involving a female actress who is “running away from the cops.” Fake police cars will also be involved in the scene, on Bethel St. and Beretania St.

Any faculty, staff and students who are at the Downtown campus this Saturday not to be alarmed by a (possibly shrieking) woman running in the alley, or other strange noises, as it is only Hollywood. Thank you!

Latest Filming Updates and Photos - 19th November

2009-11-20T10:27:00.003Z

Thanks to Annie for the heads up and to Ryan as usual for his excellent reports.

Spotted on the set were Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and Alan Dale (Charles Widmore), under the direction of Jack Bender. I stopped by on the way home from work today, they were filming one last shot down the submarine hatch with Holloway. Then, Holloway and Dale followed the crew as they disembarked the submarine as the sun began to set, moving over to the enclosed exhibit.

Lost Episode 6.08 - Recon - Filming Details

2009-11-19T20:35:00.002Z

Update: 20th Nov Thanks to my source who wanted to clarify something from their earlier post.

alerted me to the fact that I said Sawyer wanted on the boat and that I made it sound like they wanted on the boat that took Charlotte and the other people to the island. This is not the case, and they made it seem like a completely different vessel in a different timeframe than the boat Charlotte and the others used to get to the island.

We recently posted this in the rumours section but today I can confirm this as legit from a number of others sources.

The scene is actually very boring but it's overtones tell you where they are going with the show. Sawyer is working with someone on the telephone. He gets up from the table and uses the restroom and receives instructions from the person on the phone. Sawyer is playing the redhead Charlotte because he knows she has been on the island. Sawyer runs his usual con but Charlotte doesn't bite. She senses Sawyer is trying to play her and she calls him on it. Sawyer tells her the truth and about him knowing she was on the island as a child and this entire thing connects back to Charles Widmore. Sawyer wants "on the boat", and the man he is talking to on the phone seems to be in charge of Sawyer. That's about it. Nothing to exciting.

Other small stuff

Sawyer is dressed very nice as is Charlotte.
When Sawyer uses the phone he says he is going to the restroom but he just walks into a little hallway near the restroom
Sawyer picked her up earlier in the day and charmed her (this is referred to)
Sawyer knew exactly what Charlotte would want to eat and drink and this raises red flags for her
Charlotte keeps looking at an asian man in the restaurant and Sawyer notices this. This is when they quickly walk out of the restaurant together.
We were told they were filming a fight scene later in the day at another location.with Sawyer in the scene with the Asian man

Short Interview with Michael Emerson

2009-11-19T19:16:00.000Z

Thanks to Annie for the heads up.

Having survived the experience again - this was his second win in four career nominations - Emerson returned to Hawaii in August to shoot the sixth and final season of "Lost." Though he confirms that completed episodes are "very dark and bloody," he's able to offer little about where the plot is going.

"I thought I would be able to see the ending that was coming, but I can't," he says of the series finale. "It's still so opaque."

Nor does he have any idea how the character will evolve, though he can guarantee Ben will never veer toward monotony. "I've had some vintage Ben stuff already, in the great tradition of Ben Linus manipulating a turnaround or surprising the audience. And there's lots of that this season."

Damon Lindelof Interview at Paramount's DVD launch party for Star Trek

2009-11-19T09:17:00.002Z

Thanks to Stegrelo for the heads up. Nothing much new I'm afraid.

Unexpected dish from 'Lost' creator Damon Lindelof falls like manna from heaven.

You never know when it's coming. When it does, you have all the answers you were seeking. Such was the case in Hollywood at Paramount's DVD launch party for 'Star Trek,' which Lindelof produced with his old 'Lost' friend J.J. Abrams.

"We have written 112 episodes, with about 9 more to go. We have come this far, so just trying not to screw it up," Lindelof told AOL at the 'Star Trek' event. "We really want the focus in the last year to be on the original castaways that we have been following since the beginning. But that doesn't mean there won't be a couple new flavors in the mélange. There are a couple new faces, but not as many as there have been in past seasons."

Those new faces will include John Hawkes (of 'Deadwood' and 'Eastbound and Down') as Lennon, a scruffy and charismatic foreign corporate spokesperson, and a cunning negotiator, wielding more influence than someone in his position should. They also include Sheila Kelley, best known from 'LA Law,' as Kendall, an intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit who is caught committing corporate espionage and has to lie her way out.

A variety of several former cast members -- including Ian Somerhalder, Dominic Monaghan and Elizabeth Mitchell – have been confirmed to make return appearances.

"Obviously, we have 18 hours over which to do the ending. I feel we have found the right pace," Lindelof continued. "You only have so much room in your stomach to eat, and you have to digest sometimes too. So we're trying to modulate the season so it doesn't feel like you're waiting, getting little meals, then you get one big meal. It's a flow of courses. You will probably get a little more than you were expecting a little sooner than you were expecting."

Since 'Lost's' premiere in 2004, the show has gone through five seasons of metaphors, islands sinking, smoke monsters, The Others, and walking dead men. Its final season begins reportedly in January. Now that the end is here, it feels "amazing," Lindelof says.

"I can't believe we're going to be able to end the show on our own terms," he says. "To be able to cancel something yourself is a rare treat in the TV biz. And there are no excuses. We get to do the ending on our own terms, and hopefully people will like it."

More 'Lost' dish came from Lindelof to other outlets:

To E! Online: "The questions that count will be answered, and the questions that the fans don't want answered won't be answered, but I think what they're looking for is a real sense of resolution, particularly on a character level. Who's going to live, who's going to die, who's going to hook up with who, why were they all brought here in the first place, was it arbitrary, is there meaning behind it? That's the kind of stuff [we] have to answer, or [we] should be prepared to get rocks thrown at [us]."

To TV Guide Magazine: "All I can say is that we've spent the last five years answering the question, 'Were you guys making it up as you go along?' 'Do you know what you're doing?' It's a great comfort to know that in about six months people will stop asking us that question. They'll basically say 'You were making it up as you go along,' or they'll go 'Wow, you really had a plan.'"

Lindelof also said: "What we don't want to do ... is explain what our intention was. At a certain point, it doesn't matter what our intention was, and we want the fans to vigorously debate certain aspects of the show. Some things will be very conclusive, other things people will think are more conclusive than we meant them and some will be more ambiguous than we meant them, but it wouldn't be Lost if five years from now people weren't still arguing over what they wanted it to be."

Episode 6x08 Recon - Another Small Filming Update

2009-11-18T07:41:00.000Z

Once again the crew was busy in downtown Honolulu and our good friend Ryan has the details via a few fan reports.

Today, was a setting for an LAPD Police station once again involving Josh Holloway (Sawyer), but today Ken Leung (Miles) was also on set along with someone named "Liam".

Could this be the return of Charlie's brother Liam!?

Also according to Ryan, "there was no word on how the scenes were unfolding, but crew chatter suggested two apparent settings: the police station, and a locker room."

Mark Pellegrino confirms Season 6 Return

2009-11-17T15:13:00.004Z

Thanks to http://llegaronparaquedarse.blogspot.com/ for the heads up on this interview with Mark Pellegrino who confirms that he will be in multiple episodes this season.

Lost is one of the most complex and dense series ever produced. Having stepped into the show so late in The Game, with your first appearance in the fifth-season finale, "The Incident," how much do you need to understand the Lost universe in order to play a character as enigmatic as Jacob?
My wife can usually know the end of a movie from the beginning. She knew within five minutes that Bruce Willis was dead in The Sixth Sense. Very annoying sometimes. And she doesn't even know what it means yet or where everything is going in Lost. And that's the beauty of that show. They always surprise ya. Since I'm not quite as clever as her -- when the ring rolled across the floor, so did my jaw -- I prefer to be on a need-to-know basis. I know what I need in the scene and how I feel about it. And that's it, although I occasionally get an ominous hint or two...which I can't reveal.

How much have (Lost writers-producers) Damon Lindelof and Bryan Burk and the guys told you about Jacob? And to your thinking, who -- or what -- the hell is this guy?
On this account I can say very little. The things I do know, I am sorry to say, will be revealed at a later date.

We tried. Let's go at it this way. How many episodes can we expect to see you in? And what are the chances you'll be around long enough to appear in the series finale?
There will be a number. But the amount and placement are locked away in a safe, deep in a cave in Diamond Head.

Episode 6x08 Recon - Sawyer and Charlotte Meet!?

2009-11-17T01:48:00.004Z

Update: 11:25 We've just posted some as of yet unconfirmed extra details from inside the shoot itself here.

Here is a very interesting filming update from our good friend Ryan in Hawaii who received a nice little set report from a visiting fan named Damian. Apparently the scene took place at an upscale restaurant (Diamond Head Grill), which is in Waikiki and not too far from the Diamond Head Studios.

Several well dressed extras were a part of the shoot along with stars Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and Rebecca Mader (Charlotte). I remember when we interviewed Mader on the ODI LOST podcast I believe she said that Josh was awesome and she would love to work with him again. I guess it looks like she got her wish!

I really wonder if we are still in an ALT storyline or there is some connection to Sawyer and Charlotte we never knew about?

Here is a snippet from Ryan's report:

Josh Holloway (Sawyer) was spotted, looking quite handsome, wearing black pants and a purple shirt. But his companion was an even more striking sight, in a colorful evening dress: Rebecca Mader (Charlotte).

There is not too much more because it was an indoor shoot, but you can view the full report here: Hawaii Blog

Thanks to Nicole for the heads up on this. I'm not sure if this was an officially sanctioned video from ABC or not.

Hi Dark, I was just taking a look at the Barracks Round Up post over on lostargs.com and they have a video which was taken at the reveal. At the end of the video there are a few fast pictures.

Lost Filming Snippets

2009-11-13T10:13:00.004Z

Here are some little filming snippets from one of our spies on the set, Celestial Beauty.

Dark- This is what I managed to find out on the set I visiting during the filming at the High School Last Week. You already have a few bits of this but here goes.

- At the school, Alex (Tania Raymonde) is actually a student at this school where Ben is a teacher. She is still "close" to Ben.
- Also spotted at the school are both boom boom Doc Arzt and Rose! No signed of Bernard
- One of the new guests that you posted, William Atherton, was on the set. He is actually the Principle of the school, however I'll leave you with this cryptic snippet. Although he is the principle, that may not actually be his only role!
- Locke and Ben both work at the School

Which of these is the title for Episode 6.08

2009-11-12T18:48:00.002Z

Update: 20:00 My source has just emailed the Title. It is Recon although I preferred Satan's Ferryman!

Lost - Episode 6.09 - Casting Call

2009-11-11T21:23:00.005Z

Update: 12th Nov A few other details. Produced by Jean Higgins. Shoot Dates: 20th November - 9th December. No director attached yet.

Any guess as to whose Episode this might be?

[ISABELLA] Latina, 30s, fluent in Spanish. Strong sense of self and adores her husband. Devout Catholic who is battling a long-term illness...GUEST STAR.

[FATHER SUAREZ] Latino, 50s to 60s, fluent in Spanish. A well educated, old school Catholic priest who is stern and has an inflexible opinion of right and wrong...VERY NICE CO-STAR, POSSIBLE GUEST STAR.

[JONAS WHITFIELD] Early to mid 30s; English; must speak with authentic accent. He’s crisp and his bearing is of a British military officer. Athletic and agile, he’s worked hard to rise up the corporate ladder and make something of himself. He believes in survival of the fittest...GUEST STAR.

[DOCTOR] Latino, 40s-50s, fluent in Spanish. Sophisticated, wealthy, and a somewhat mercenary upper-class doctor who has an imperious bedside manner but knows his stuff...NICE CO-STAR.

[IGNACIO] Latino, 30s, fluent in Spanish. Poor, religious and street smart. On the wrong side of the law but only because he’s a victim of his circumstances... NICE CO-STAR.

Latest from Ryan

2009-11-11T07:15:00.002Z

Thanks to Iceman for the heads up.

An early morning Twitter post from local social media star Russ (a.k.a. @ParkRat) revealed the tell-tale presence of production trailers near Kahala Mall. It was a modest, interior shoot, so there were few details. But those few details are still worth pondering.

A visiting fan followed Russ’ clue to a residential street just off Kilauea Ave. All the magic was happening inside a plain looking home. But two actors were seen coming and going from the set: Michael Emerson (Ben) and Jon Gries (Roger Linus, Ben’s father). Later in the day, Tania Raymonde (Alex) was spotted.

There’s no telling exactly where and when the scene was set, but the visiting fan was able to overhear one tantalizing line of dialogue for Roger Linus, as referenced by the script supervisor:

“This is not the life I wanted for you, Ben.”

Whatever Ben’s been up to, mixing with students and teachers in a high school, it sounds like he’s still disappointing his dad.

Casting News

2009-11-10T17:58:00.000Z

Actress-turned-erotic exercise pioneer Sheila Kelley has found a plum role on the final season of Lost, sources confirm to me exclusively.

Kelley — best known acting-wise for her three-year stint as secretary Gwen Taylor on L.A. Law — will play the recurring role of Kendall, an intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit who is caught committing corporate espionage and has to lie her way out.

At least that’s the info Team Darlton circulated around town when they were casting the role. For all I know Kelley is replacing an AWOL Mira Furlan as Rousseau.

Update: 16:30 Thanks to TomPhillips151 and Vincent for the summary.

-Scene Sun is seen working on her tent, Frank is tending a large fire, as the director calls action Jack, Hurley and Richard emerge onto the beach. Sun sees them and runs over followed by Frank, Ben, Illana, and Miles. Sun gives Hurley and Jack hugs as the whole group gathers together. Ben is a little outside of the group. Jack and Frank shake hands.

Lost Filming and Episode Analysis

2009-11-07T11:00:00.000Z

Update: 16:50 Thanks to my contact in casting "Oh, hi Lost" I've updated the dates to include a few more episodes and slightly more accurate dates.

Last Season I compiled a list of rough Episode Filming dates so that we could try to work out which filming reports went with which Episode. As filming has just started and we're slowing getting Casting Calls I thought I'd do the same this year.

These are all rough estimates and there appears to be some overlap in episodes currently due to the information posted in the casting calls.
The links after each Episode will take you to filming reports that we've posted.
