Lost star Evangeline Lilly has hinted that she is ready to give up on acting after the end of the hit show. Lilly, 30, has played the role of Kate Austen in the hit ABC show since it started in 2004. The series will end after the upcoming sixth season and Lilly said she isn’t sure what the future holds. She said to E! Online: ‘Acting is something I appreciate, and I think it’s been an amazing experience. But I’m not passionate about acting the way you probably should be to call yourself an actor.’ Lilly added that she will probably continue her career in the film world. She said: ‘I just haven’t found where that is yet. I don’t know if anything has gelled yet. I don’t know if it fits.’ Talking about her plans after Lost, she said: ‘I want to have some quiet space. [I want to] drop off the radar a little bit and enjoy a little bit of normalcy again.’ Source: Monsters & Critics

Lindelof, Cuse, Lilly, Holloway and Lost and found: Back to the island one last time	Jan 14 2010
Published by Gioia in Lost. Add Comment
PASADENA, Calif. — Lost, too, must end. And, deep down, Damon Lindelof, the enigmatic ensemble drama’s head writer and co-executive producer with writing partner Carlton Cuse, knows that finding the right note to go out on will be a tall order. Lost’s sixth and final season — 18 hours spread over 16 consecutive weeks beginning Feb. 2, with no reruns, pre-emptions or interruptions — will ultimately be judged against the classic TV series it has emulated, borrowed from and ingeniously incorporated into its labyrinthine tale of disparate personalities marooned on a desert island following a plane crash. Vanity Fair, in a January, 2004 photo spread, noted that Lost matched, and, in some cases, transcended, those very same programs it had ingeniously looked to for inspiration — The Twilight Zone, The X-Files, Survivor, Twin Peaks, and even Gilligan’s Island — because of its deeply textured, stereotype-defying cast of characters, and a hellacious, devil-may-care approach to storytelling that relies on flashbacks, flashforwards and “omigod” plot reversals. Looking surprisingly casual, relaxed and in control for a writer-producer facing what might be the toughest task in television, finding that perfect ending, Lindelof talked about the burden of responsibility and the need, at the end of the day, to simply tell a good story —albeit, with all the layers of mystery and enigmas wrapped inside riddles that Lost’s loyal audience has come to expect. “Get ready to scratch your heads, America,” Lindelof said, deadpan. Of Lost’s five seasons so far, the final season will resemble the first season the most, in voice and in tone. “There’s an inherent process, as writers, when you’re ending something, to be thinking about the beginning,” Lindelof said. “This season’s story has to specifically go back to the beginning to examine a lot of things, such as taking a look at where a certain character started, and where they’ve come to in the time since. One of the things I think we’re trying to do this season — all of us, actors and writers — is show the audience the ‘before,’ so they have some sense of what they used to be and where they are now, so you know how far that person’s come. Obviously, the process of actually doing that, as opposed to just thinking about it, really makes you feel the way you felt in Season 1.” Lindelof admitted he’ll be walking a tightrope between alienating Lost’s fans who were there from the beginning, and those viewers who may tune in during the final weeks out of curiosity. When in doubt, Lindelof said, he will favour those Lost fans who were there from the beginning. “To suddenly tell the story in a different way, to make it more accessible to people who don’t watch the show, would be such a quantum mistake, and so alienate the people who do watch the show, it would be, in a word, horrible.” Lindelof said he will be eternally appreciative for being allowed to end Lost on its own terms. “I’m tremendously gratified by the idea of being able to end something while anybody still cares, while we still kind of love each other, as opposed to everybody saying, ‘It’s about time.’ We’ve been given a tremendous gift, being able to end it this way — knowing that the end is coming, and that we have time to prepare for it. As Evangeline (Lilly) was saying, as I walked out here just now, I’m experiencing a kind of ‘I-can’t-believe-they’re-going-to-actually-let-us-get-away-with-this’ feeling of gratitude. “I know it sounds like it’s a blatant, ass-kissing thing to say, but when you look back at the hundred and four hours of Lost that we’ve done — I think about that stuff all the time — what we’ve been able to do on the show is pretty incredible.” Lost’s endgame season calls for a two-hour premiere, followed by six weeks of hour-long episodes, culminating in a two-hour finale. There was a chance that the Feb. 2 season premiere might be pre-empted by U.S. President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address, but in a strange case of art intruding on life, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs announced Friday that the State of the Union address will be on another date. “I don’t foresee a scenario in which millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in Lost are pre-empted by the president,” Gibbs told reporters, with a straight face. In response, Lindelof ’s writing partner Cuse playfully promised on Twitter that he and Damon would promise to answer any questions the president has about Lost, our of gratitude. “What’s amazing is you realize how fickle your political affiliations are,” Lindelof said. “I’m a lifelong Democrat, but when I first hear that they were considering February 2nd, I was like, ‘That motherf—er.’ Being honest.” Lost will leave a lasting legacy, Lindelof feels, for better or worse. “We talk about what we think the legacy of the show will be, and it will probably be two things. There will be the legacy left by the final. . . . It’s almost impossible, in the moment, to have any perspective on the 120 hours that preceded the finale. Look at The Sopranos. After the finale aired, we remember every shot of the dinner scene and, of course, the cut to black. But then, as time goes on, you think about The Sopranos as a whole, as opposed to just the finale. “There will be two separate legacies, and all that we can hope is that the legacy that really matters is the one where people look back and feel the experience of watching Lost was really rewarding, and they’re happy that they dedicated all that time and energy to watching the show.” Lost’s sixth and final season premieres Tuesday, Feb. 2 on CTV and ABC at 9 ET/PT. © Copyright (c) The Montreal Gazette Source: The Gazette

Lilly ‘not rooting’ for ‘Lost’ triangle	Jan 14 2010
Published by Gioia in Evangeline, Lost. Add Comment
Evangeline Lilly has admitted that she was not keen on her character’s love triangle plot in Lost. Since the show’s first season, Lilly’s alter-ego Kate has been involved in romances with both Matthew Fox’s Jack and Josh Holloway’s Sawyer. However, when asked by SFX who she is rooting for Kate to end up with, Lilly claimed that she hopes her character ends up on her own. “I am not rooting for either one,” she said. “Kate used to be driven by the two men in her life; Jack and Sawyer. “I didn’t want to see Kate coming back to the island and falling in love with Sawyer again after three years of a relationship with Jack, but they didn’t do that.” She continued: “I had always hoped the writers would find a purpose for her outside of them – and they have. Motherhood has changed Kate completely and will define her actions for the rest of the show.” The sixth and final season of Lost premieres Tuesday, February 2 on ABC. Source: Digital Spy

The Lost actors have now filmed nine episodes of their 18-hour,16-week final season, and nostalgia is setting in, reports USA TODAY’s Robert Bianco today from press tour. “There’s a lot of camaraderie on the set,” says Josh Holloway (Sawyer). “There’s a lot of magic. It’s like the first season…It’s been fabulous.” What’s he doing next? “I’m retiring” Holloway jokes. “I’m only doing conventions,” as he mimes signing and distributing pictures. And what will they do when the show actually ends? Says Evangeline Lilly, who plays Kate, “I am going to cry like a baby.” Source: USA Today
