Abrams' "Lost" almost had an entirely different cast
Synopsis
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.. J.J. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to the Sawyer character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter instead..
The strange opening credits were designed by JJ
Jin and Sun are married and share the family name "Kwon", which becomes an important plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband's family name. In fact, it’s not even permissible in Korea to marry someone with the same family name, except in rare circumstances.. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother..
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone.. Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard of the hit show LOST. You've seen the previews, read the 5-star reviews, and heard the conversations about it at the water-cooler. If you haven't started watching it yet, you might be wondering if you should start watching.
At first, there is confusion
Well, let's put it this way.If you're into action shows, you're going to like LOST , you will like LOST.If you like shows with humor, you will like LOST.If you like shows where you can watch an episode twice and view it in an entirely different way, you will like LOST.If you like shows where each and every scene has a meaning… Get the picture?Quite simply, if you’ve ever liked a TV show at all, you’ll be hooked.LOST is a show about a plane crash on a mysterious island. 48 people survive, but the show centers around 14, all with secrets. But as the show goes on, friendships develop, and we learn that there is more to the island than what it seems…The characters are fantastic–don't pay any attention to those who say the cast is so diverse it is clichéd, those are probably the same people who would have criticized it if it were all white.In short, watch. You'll be hooked, unless you're one of those nitpicky people who has a hernia if every single detail in the very first episode isn't exactly correct.
Why aren't you watching?10/1
Otherwise, I must ask the question…
