Season Four Trailer Appears Online

Lost News — December 12, 2007 at 6:39 pm by Oscar

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here: our first glimpse of Lost season four.  The season four trailer that is currently playing in U.S. movie theaters hit YouTube today, and it provides some intriguing hints of what we’ll be obsessing over come February.


The trailer starts with words flashing across the screen as images from the first three seasons of the show flash by.  "On September 22, 2004, Oceanic flight 815 crashed. February 2008, rescue arrives. Or has it?"

Everything seen from that point forward appears to be new material, and while it only adds up to about twenty seconds it’s still pretty intriguing.  We see Kate saying "they’re on their way," obviously referring to the mysterious "rescuers" who were coming to the island in the season finale.  We then see someone tackling Ben, Hurley running through the jungle, and Locke looking down at someone who is passed out, or dead, on the ground.  It looks to be Juliet, but I can’t be sure.

"Every person on this island will be killed."  Those are the haunting words Ben spoke in "Through the Looking Glass," and they’re repeated in this trailer.  Someone, or something, is coming for them.

In the quick flashes that follow, we see Sawyer pointing a gun at Ben’s head, Hurley looking into a mysterious room, and Jack pointing a gun menacingly.  "Whatever they came for, it isn’t us," Locke states.

The video ends with another succession of quick shots. Something explodes, we see the Hydra logo, Hurley appears to be underwater, Naomi is dead on the ground with a knife in her back, there’s an animal skull, what appears to be blood falling on someone’s arm, Kate looking upward in horror, a cow standing on a hill, and finally, Charlie (yes, Charlie!) removing some sunglasses.

"Lost. The new season begins 2008."

Wow.  The overall tone of the clip is definitely ominous.  People are coming to the island, our castaways are in great danger, and it looks like there’s going to be a lot of action and horror when the "rescuers" arrive.

The thing that really stood out to me about this trailer was, of course, the Charlie appearance.  We know he’s dead.  Maybe he makes an appearance in someone’s flashback in the first episode.  Usually the season kicks off with a Jack flashback, but since the show seems to be shaking up its structure this year, maybe that won’t be the case.  I just know that I’m excited to see Charlie again, however briefly.
