Shooting for episode 4x06: October 16-30
[CHANDLEY PRICE] : mid 30s to early 40s. Female. She is tough, no-nonsense and beautiful in an unadorned way. She is a therapist by profession and yet could benefit from some therapy herself. The qualities that make her a leader and effective at seeing into other people also cause her problems in her own life -- she can be overly controlling and obsessive. Her strength of personality is undeniable. GUEST STAR/RECURRING

- By sawyer840's blog: Filming news (Jack, Kate, female guest star + *pics*); soon back to the beach
They were filming today a court scene with Jack and Kate. [...] Earlier I met this mysterious new actress and she told me her name is Susan and she acts as a lawyer. She is an extra and really nice!
I saw a lot of what is behind the scenes and it all was really interesting and i could talk to several people (other actors) and got some information:
Apart from Evie and Matt, no one is filming right now, the other main actors are partly busy with other stuff, other movies or just have leisure time.
Soon they will start filming at the beach again.
The crew is really nice and i was a lucky one today! I could seen policemen, jutors and visitors for the scene and it was really amazing.
And Lost will stay at Wednesday, no one ever heard of the changing to Monday!
They are not filming chronologically, because of the other work of the actors, so all what you"ll watch is not for one special episode, they do the scenes in timing with the actor's other work

- By Ryan's blog: Jack/Kate scene
Down in the underground parking lot for the capitol building, near the guard booth and lower entrance off Miller St., a clean-shaven, leather-jacket wearing Jack has a brief conversation with the striking, poised Kate we saw at the end of Season 3. Jack steps away from an older, brown pickup truck, not unlike the one Locke drove in one of his flashbacks, to talk to Kate. There’s some awkwardness, but there are also some smiles. Eventually, Jack helps Kate get into a yellow taxi cab, and watches as it drives away.
*
From The Fuselage: The two do cross paths, at least in a parking lot, and apparently they're both in the courtroom scene shooting today.

One of the things that she managed to find out is that they are also about to film a death on the show. The info is being kept very secret currently and we don't have details of who the death will involve. Hopefully she'll have some more info soon which she'll be able to pass onto us.

From her blog: On this place beside the Nuuanu Pali Drive, where Ryan recently found the Lost tracks there they shot again: a scene with Kate! Perhaps a flashback! It is the place where they once filmed the scene where Kate, Jack and Charlie found the pilot.

- By Mike via DarkUFO's blog: Kate's trial + PICS
This morning I went down to the State Capitol Building and saw the filming of a scene involving Kate in a flashback. In the scene, Kate is stepping out of a Town Car which is escorted by police. The building was set to the Los Angeles Criminal Court. When she steps out of the car, there are dozens of camera/news reporters snapping pictures and trying to get an interview. One person even yelled “MURDERER” at her character.

Ask Ausiello @ TV Guide online: Episode 4x04 is Kate-centric


October 2, 2007

Radio interview with Nestor Carbonell () trascribed by Dan for DarkUFO
DJ: "So are you coming back to Lost or what?"
Nestor: "Um.. no.[laughs] I haven't been contacted by the producers yet; haven't heard anything from them, actually, so I don't know, but I wouldn't
rule anything out. Contractually, I can't do both; I can't be on two networks at the same time. But stranger things have happened. I shot the
Cane pilot before I heard from the LOST producers, they said they wanted me in the last five episodes [of season three]."

- From Daniel Dae Kim's MySpace - Intriguing new characters, cool new storylines, more flash forwards.

Shoots: 10/5 - 10/18

[RAY] 40s-50s, any ethnicity, psychiatrist, cold, professional type who can do what's necessary to get the job done...VERY NICE CO-STAR THAT COULD TURN INTO A POSSIBLE RECUR AS A GUEST STAR

[ALFRED] 40s-50s, Caucasian, British, cool and calm under pressure, knows his place in society and knows how to handle members of the upper classes...CO-STAR. IMPECCABLE BRITISH ACCENT.

[BANNERMAN] Mid 40s, any ethnicity, narcoleptic, can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, but has an important piece of information to tell. A very smart technician by trade...GUEST STAR.

[BILLY] Mid to late 20s, Caucasian, British, a good buddy to have, willingly to listen but won't take too much gruff before he'll knock you in line...NICE CO-STAR. IMPECCABLE BRITISH ACCENT.

[FOLEY] 40s - 50s, any ethnicity, British, physically fit, tough task master, unrelenting. A performance reminiscent of R. Lee Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket"... NICE CO-STAR. IMPECCABLE BRITISH ACCENT.

[LARSON] Late 20s - 30s, any ethnicity, smart, dangerous but capable of charm and humor. Tough military type. Follows orders and doesn't question them...GUEST STAR, POSSIBLE RECUR.

- By annione @ The Fuselage - Brazilian interview from a Darlton virtual press conference
** 'O Globo' scans by Dude!WeAreLost --- Complete transcript **
After three seasons of flashbacks was it inevitable you’d employ flashforwards because there were less ideas for flashbacks? Will we see predominantly flashforwards or will they be compensated with flashbacks?
DL : Absolutely inevitable . . . not so much as to abandon flashbacks, but at least to find a paradigm for the narration which will develop the nature of the series. With the flashforwards you get a mixture, each week we hope it’ll be a guessing game to of not only WHO the episode is centred on, but WHEN the action is taking place.
The third season distanced Kate and Jack. But the final episode shows their relationship is as strong as ever. Was this deliberate? Why do you want the fans to think they have no chance together?
CC : The Jack / Kate / Sawyer triangle is something that will continue for a long time. And who says they have no chance?
Since you revealed the secret of the Island is related to Time Travel a lot of unanswered questions seem to have an acceptable explanation. Why did you decide to reveal this?
CC : When ABC / Disney allowed us to end the show with 48 more episodes it was the time to start a new way of telling the story, which includes flashforwards. The show is like a mosaic. There are pieces in the present, in the past, and now also in the future. When all the pieces are in place, Lost has finished.
Was the person in the coffin at the end of season 3 someone we’ve seen before?
CC : Yes.
After all the expectation you created with Walt, are we really going to see him again?
CC : Oh, you’ll see him again. But you’re going to have to be patient. Sorry.
Does the Island have a name? Will we find it out?
DL : The name of the Island is Herbert Jablonski.
Do you really know what the last image of the last episode of Lost will be?
CC : Yes, we know what the last image of the show will be, and it won’t be a black screen.
Will you use a lot of flashforwards this season or does that give too much information on who will survive?
CC : The flashforwards will be a component of season 4. But it’s not true that the flashforward you saw was the end of the show.
How many days have the survivors been on the Island? If you follow that rhythm of days in the next three seasons the pregnant Sun won’t die before the show finishes. Well, at least not as a cause of the pregnancy illness on the Island. Is this right?
DL : At the end of the third season the survivors have been on the Island for less than a hundred days. Yes, your theory about Sun is correct . . . but don’t forget that we can jump into the future in the next season, so anything can happen.
So you know how the show is going to end, and does it fit into what you had planned from the beginning (at least the concept)?
DL : We always knew the ending, we didn’t know how long it would take us to get there. So, yes, it still fits completely with the point in the story in which we find ourselves right now. With 48 episodes ahead, it’s exciting to be working towards an ending with which we are already familiar.
Do you know what actor will play the mysterious Jacob? And has there been any episode in which he appeared before his meeting with Locke?
CC : Yes, we know how Jacob will be represented. Notice the careful use of words in my answer. No, Jacob didn’t appear before his meeting with Locke.
If Michael comes back this season, will we see Walt physically or only a ghostly presence? Or has Malcolm grown too much to convincingly play a child?
DL : Michael IS coming back. Definitively. With regards to Walt . . . we always knew Malcolm was going to grow faster than we could film. And we took that into account. Believe us. PLEASE, believe us.

- By secretagentman @ TWoP - episode 4x05 could be Desmond-centric

- Sci Fi Wire - Lost Season-Four Spoilers Leaked (Jacob, FFs, Charlie's death reverberations
[...] The show's producers have already figured out what they will do with the mysterious character of Jacob, who was introduced at the end of season three. Picking his words carefully, executive producer Carlton Cuse said, "Yes, we do know how Jacob will be depicted. Notice the careful wording of my answer. And no, Jacob did not appear before he was met by Locke." Cuse also declined to say whether an actor had been chosen to portray the character. [...]
The producers said that it is inevitable that the time-bending story of Lost will continue to use looks both backward and forward. "It's absolutely inevitable, not to migrate completely away from flashbacks, but at least to find a new paradigm for storytelling that changed up the nature of the show," Cuse said. "Moving forwards, you'll get a mix. Every week will hopefully be a guessing game as to not just who will be focused on, but when we're focusing on them. Flash-forwards will be a part of season four, yes."
The reverberations of the death of Charlie Hieronymus Pace, played by Lord of the Rings's Dominic Monaghan, at the end of the last season will inevitably continue at the beginning of season four. "The reverberation of that death echoes right into the premiere of season four," Lindelof said.

MovieWeb - Interview with D. Lindelof and C. Cuse about S4
DL:Season 4 is gonna be a whole new show in a lot of ways. [...] Michael is coming back. Definitely. As for Walt... we've always known Malcolm was going to grow faster than we could shoot the show. And we planned for it. Trust us. Please trust us.
CC: Flash forwards will be a part of Season 4, yes. But it would be wrong to think that the flashforward you saw is the end of the series.

Honolulu Advertisment - 'Lost' takes over Cassis, brings Chinatown snow
About 100 "Lost" cast members and crew jammed the wine bar of Cassis by Chef Mavro for 12 hours Saturday (from 4 a.m.).
This much is certain: Scenes were shot for a February 2008 show and Chef George Mavrolathassitis was interviewed for a segment for a "Lost" DVD bonus package. "I'm sworn to silence on the details, of course," Mavro said.
After leaving the premises, the Losties moved to Merchant Street, where snow fell and filled the street for the cameras. Hmmmm.
Singer Azure McCall had a speaking part on "Lost," opposite new cast member Ken Leung. With her own trailer, chair and hair/makeup crew, she felt like a bona fide star. ...

- Set report by Ryan - Jack & Hurley (pics)
Interestingly, "LOST" is back at the historic YWCA on Richards Street in downtown Honolulu. It was again an interior shoot, closed set. But, trailers indicated accommodations for "Jack" and "Hurley," and sure enough, I spotted the pair leaving the building just as I was leaving for work.

Set report from Hawaii Lost Yahoo Group - Sayid, Germany *pics*
I was in downtown Honolulu today (Saturday 9/22) and they were filming Lost. It was suppose to be in Germany. They had snow(shaved ice) all over the road. Some of the security said it was a Jack scene. It was not it was Sayid. There was no dialog I could hear, just naveen crossing the street several times. they only did about 7
takes and wrapped.
After naveen and jack Bender were talking in the street and the crew was throwing snowballs. It was a strange sight to see. Most of the snow/ice was almost melted except where there was a pile of it they used to cover the street.
I got to talk to Jack and Naveen and get a hug from both. They are so nice. I talked to some of the crew i know and then left. don't know the eppi as they said they are shooting so many right now it's hard to keep up with the shows. They are working 6 days a week except Sunday. I don't know if it so they can do season 4 and part
of season 5 or if it's so they cast and crew can have some time off to work on other projects.

New Lost official podcast (with DL and CC)
- Estimate going back on the air in Feb, night and time yet to be determined.
- Flashforwards, flashbacks in Season 4.
- Losties have only been there about 100 days.
- They have agreed on whether Kate ends up with Jack or Sawyer (one of Darlton is a Jater and one is a Skater, although they won't say which).
- The flashforward we saw is not the end of the show--there is a lot of story beyond that.
- Darlton not fans of the idea of multiple futures. The future is the future.
- Time, space time, time travel are still going to be themes. The rules that Ms Hawking gave Desmond are the rules. The future is fixed, not parallel.
- They will 'park' Richard Alpert until they can figure out how to get him back on the show around his commitment to Cain. They have plans for Richard's story.
- Nikki and Paulo are dead. They had bigger plans for them but didn't have enough time for them and needed to get back to the regular characters.
- We will find out if Kate is pregnant with Sawyer's baby, we will find out by mid-March. They said a few times it might be episode 4.
- Mikhail is dead. Christian Shepard is dead. When you die on LOST you are dead.

From TV Guide: Libby is back
'OK, so technically, the ABC hit isn't bringing Cynthia Watros' short-lived character back from the dead. But Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse confirms to me exclusively that the actress will be playing Hurley's dearly departed sweetheart again this season for multiple episodes, presumably in more of Desmond's flashbacks.
"She'll be in enough of the show for us to fill in the missing pieces of her story," says Cuse. "We could not be more pleased. Cynthia is a smart and engaging actor, and [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof] and I have some very cool parts of her story left to tell."'

Question: Lost scoop. Please. Now. Begging. — Adele
Ausiello: What is this, a telegram? Never mind. Episode 4 will introduce three new characters, all guest stars, not recurring, presumably for someone's flashback (or flash-forward). They are a fortysomething corporate shark who's willing to put his lofty job on the line to get an even loftier one, his female counterpart and the old-timer who will decide their fates.

LOST-TV Forums: Filming sightings

From TourniquetMan: "They are here right now as I type this, in my town shooting a scene. Whitmore Village in Wahiawa, There seems to be a lot of activity near down a path leading to a stream area.
They were asking for kids in tattered clothing as extras, Josh Halloway was sighted."

From HaleiwaDiva: I saw them filming in Whitmore Village yersterday too,TourniquetMan. They were right behind the baseball field. It looked like they might have been filming in a house right there. I didn't see anyone outside, just the big white trailers and the usual signs.


August 24, 2007

From Jacobe via DarkUFO's blog - First filming sightings

I live in Kalihi, Hawaii. Yesterday, LOST was filming on N King Street by the Discount Store and Tamashiro Market, for those that live in Hawaii.
I was able to spot Josh Halloway (Sawyer). So I'm assuming a Sawyer flashback. OR maybe a flash-forward??
The scene involved a car being chased by two police cars, leading to the first car to jump a ramp and crash.
That's all I was able to see.
Sorry, I wasn't able to record or take pictures.

From Timetraveler @ TWoP: The "bad guys" arriving to the island via helicopter in ep. 4x06


October 17, 2007

The Odi replies to the Turkish rumors asking his source
1) The freighter people say they are looking for someone and it is planned as long story arc which will last most likely the whole season. We will get some answers to who and why in last few episodes of season. Someone WILL leave the island, but at this point it will ONLY be the freighter guys. Freighter guys leaving will not be important at "first" but will play role later.
-- I questioned our source and they followed with:
"How can I say this...they are looking for someone and we will like them but they can not be trusted because they are there for more then just someone and it will be explained more by Ben [FB] and in the Dharma Episode, the episode that will be about before Ben was on the island"
2) In the first episode that Michael returns he has hit "rock bottom" from the guilt of his actions.
3) As Dark's rumor states and as I posted in a previous blog...we will see the temple at some point in the first half of the season (8 episodes) and we will be surprised.
4) Desmond will play an important role this season and Penny will be on the show but NOT on the island. Plus we will also get to see the man she was going to marry.
-- Asking our source for further clarification we got this:
"After Desmond's release from prison, Penny tracked him down in the U.S. She asked him why he never wrote to her, and whether he ever had a chance to read Our Mutual Friend. When Desmond asked how she found him, she replied that with enough money and determination, you can track anyone. She then learned that Desmond had been told by her father that she had given up hope and had become engaged to another man. She neither confirmed nor denied this, only stating that they hadn't set a wedding date yet."
5) Sawyer has NOT filmed a FF and the FFs are being kept very secretive with a very small crew.
6) No confirmation about the chance of a cameo by Nathan Fillion (Kevin Kate's Ex-Husband) yet.
7) The footage of Jack's scenes for the Kate's Trial episode might not be aired
-- We asked for clarification and got this reply:
"I was pissed when I found this out and didn't like this idea at all"
8) The death will be a MAIN character that is a fan favorite and a male character, plus it will occur on island most likely by mid-season. It will be likely one of the four: Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid or Jin.


October 16, 2007

By Turkish blogger Dizidizi who got spoilers from an extra (corrections by ozguroyus)
"Jeremy Davis and Ken Laugh are playing very interesting characters and most probably their characters will be loved by many ppl."
"There's no such thing as 'rescue from the island', so let's put an end to this matter." (I understood more like; the rescue won't be the issue for this season or won't happen in this season (because he says that a flashforward for Sawyer has been filmed too,-as previously reported- and we all know that Kate has a flashforward, so eventually there will be a rescue, if not, he contradicts with himself very badly) I mean as it's my take, eveyone can correct me.)
"You will be introduced to the temple in the first 8 episodes" and it says we will be very surprised.
"Harrold Perrineau entered the show and brought joy to the crew" - "Micheal is in a miserable situation", "You'll be surprised when you see them (Walt & Micheal)", and "Walt MIGHT NOT be a good/decent person as you might have expected and this is only a clue."
"None of the actors actually knows EXACTLY who was in the coffin" - "The guy in the coffin is not Sawyer, Ben or Michael" and in addition it's written that we CAN be SURE about this.
Desmond will have a very important storyline in the new season.
"Penny joined the island crew. She is expected to enter the (Television) series in episode 4".
The mystery of the magnetic forces that surrounded the island will be resolved in the new season... Penny's father is involved in this story.
"Everybody asks "Is Charlie really dead?", he isn't included in the film shooting, therefore it is explanatory enough I think."
"There wasn't any explanation about the Black Smoke in the scenes shot including it."
The people who will bring evil to the Island won't be the rescue team.
Sawyer has filmed a flash-forward.


October 9, 2007

By The Odi: Nathan Fillion, Richard Alpert, the hatch implosion, Desmond's next FB, Charles Widmore, John Terry
1) Nathan Fillion who played Kevin Callis (Kate's Ex-Husband) is in talks with producers to return to the show for another cameo role.
2) Nestor Carbonell (Richard Alpert) may be killed off or depending on how Ben's story unfolds he may not be coming back to the show just for this season.
3) Locke will explain the hatch implosion.
4) Desmond's next flashback is to be about his time with the British Royal Scots.
5) Charles Widmore will be part of Desmond's FB.
6) John Terry (Christian Shepard -- Jack's Dad) returns in Matthew Fox (Jack) FB/FF episode and it will finally put the whole is he dead or not topic to rest.


September 25, 2007

The Odi - New info on S4
1) Dominic Monaghan & Maggie Grace are in talks to come back for more flashbacks.
2) Aaron Littleton will be seen in a flash forward.
3) The Rousseau Flashback is on hold untll later in the season or next but she will be seen in 2 other FBs that will give us fans more of a reason not to trust her.
4) We will get another episode that will detail what DHARMA has been doing on the island long before Ben and his father came to the island.
5) The person inside the coffin is not Locke but another castaway...also disregard the newspaper article in the finale...it will be rewritten....
6) The first episode with Michael will take place right after "Live Together, Die Alone".
7) A new love triangle will begin episode 4 (not involving Jack or Sawyer).
8) Two more Losties will die....a male and a female. The male will die on the island, while the female will die in a FLASHFORWARD via suicide.
