Entertainment Weekly reports that Lost is looking for a female in her mid-30s to play Kendall, an “intellectual beauty with a sharp edge to her wit” who is caught engaged in corporate espionage and wiggles her way through it by lying. Possibly a recurring character, they say. Ideas?
The sexual harassment suit filed against Lost star Henry Ian Cusick has been settled, reports say. The actor was accused of groping and making suggestive actions to former production staffer Chelsea Stone back in 2007. She was fired 12 days after she filed a complaint, and was seeking unspecified damages.
Authorities say both parties have reached a settlement early this month, although details were kept confidential, and nobody from the Lost crew would give comment.
Last night, Carlton Cuse revealed via Twitter that William Atherton will be stopping by Lost for the final season.
Of course, as always, there’s no exact word on what role he’ll be playing, but since he’s William freaking Atherton, I have to imagine it’s going to be a kick-ass villain. If you’re like me, you remember Atherton as Walter Peck, the villainous EPA agent in the original Ghostbusters film. He has a distinct voice and attitude that could rival Jeffrey Jones in the creepy department.
Who do you think he’ll play? A good guy? A bad guy? A relative? A random red shirt who gets killed off quickly?
Lost’s final season won’t air uninterrupted as hoped: it’s been confirmed that the show will take a break in February, when the Winter Olympics are underway. Nonetheless, according to showrunner Carlton Cuse, the show will still return in January.
TV Guide Magazine confirms that Maggie Grace is returning to Lost’s final season. She is set to shoot her scenes in November. It took a while for the actress to clear her schedule for a possible return, as she was working on three films. Her scenes are expected to be cut into those of her on-screen brother Ian Somerhalder, who shot his scenes earlier.
Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello revealed that Emilie de Ravin will feature throughout the entirety of Lost’s final season. But we should expect to see a Claire that’s very much like Rousseau. Apparently, Mira Furlan’s not joining the final season because of a prior commitment.
If you’re looking for more season 6 details, then look no further - because there won’t be anything in store. E! Online’s Kristin Dos Santos reports that the producers have convinced ABC not to release any photos or videos from the first few episodes of Lost’s final season, and for good reason: the twists are apparently so min-0blowing, they’d rather keep the lid on it until next year. So we can only expect to know who’s returning, but not why, and not how. At least not the absolute specifics.
One of the best things about Lost, according to Henry Ian Cusick, is that he gets to live in Hawaii. “My children are in school and to pull them out now would be tricky,” he told TV Guide Magazine. “We really love life here.”
But it seems he’s got no idea about the fate of both Desmond and Penny, since Sonya Walger’s now doing Flash Forward. “Are we going to see less of him than last season? I hope not,” he said, “because we didn’t see much of him and there are a lot of things I’d like to know about him. I think Desmond’s character has become more of a peripheral character. I think now we are zooming to the end and there are a lot of questions that need to be answered.”
