Yes, yes, I'm aware that Lost is a TV show and this is a movie site, but since I know for a fact that a ton of redblog readers are fans of the trippy ABC series, I've made a point to cover its stars' cinematic pursuits whenever there's something interesting to report. Last year when Season Five kicked off, I provided a rundown of the cast's film projects, followed by an update in August. Now that the show's final season commencing in less than 24 hours, I thought it was time for another check-in with the actors and actresses who play the characters millions have come to know and love on that mysterious, time-traveling, disappearing island.
I was lucky enough to be in Oahu this past weekend for the advanced screening of the first hour of Season Six, shown on a giant screen right on Waikiki Beach. The waning sunlight and my lack of a high-end camera worked against me as I attempted to snap pictures from the front row of the public viewing area, but I think you can at least make out who's who in the red carpet shots below.
Executive producer, co-creator, showrunner and writer: Damon Lindelof (left)
Plans after Lost: He co-produced the massive blockbuster Star Trek and will be stepping up to both produce and co-write its sequel. He also co-wrote the screenplay for DreamWorks' upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens, which will be directed by Iron Man's Jon Favreau. So, um, yeah -- he's keepin' busy.
Executive producer, showrunner and writer: Carlton Cuse (right)
Plans after Lost: Carlton hasn't talked much about what he's got up his sleeve, but in the past he helped develop Lethal Weapons 2 and 3, as well as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (with his business partner/writer Jeffrey Boam, who passed away in 2000), so I wouldn't be surprised if he started dabbling in film again once the show has wrapped.
"James 'Sawyer' Ford": Josh Holloway (left)
Plans after Lost: He's starring in the Polish brothers' (Twin Falls Idaho) indie Stay Cool, which garnered a lot of positive buzz when it premiered last April at the Tribeca Film Festival. It's expected to hit theaters in limited release at some point this year.
"Jack Shephard": Matthew Fox (right)
Plans after Lost: Fox has seen the most big-screen action of anyone in the cast -- he starred in We Are Marshall, Speed Racer and Vantage Point, and also had a cameo in Smokin' Aces. Though he's indicated that he plans to take a bit of time off and move with his wife and kids to Oregon in order to be closer to his brother's family, he did sign on to play the lead in Warner Brothers' adaptation of the Billy Smoke comic, which is currently in development.
