Comic-Con 2009: Team Darlton Ready to Tease Season 6

ABC, Cast and Crew of Lost, Comic-Con, Season 6 1 Comment »

Comic-Con 2008. SL-LOST’s Bif met Damon and Carlton.

Scifiwire.com:

In a separate interview at the Saturns, Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse told a group of reporters that he would not answer any questions about the coming season, not even with vague, dodgy answers. But he promised that he and fellow executive producer Damon Lindelof will be ready to answer questions for fans attending the Lost panel at Comic-Con International in San Diego next month.

“I hope you’re coming to Comic-Con,” Cuse said in a group interview. “Traditionally, Damon and I go into radio silence this time of year, and then at Comic-Con, we will answer questions. We want to give the fans a chance to speculate and theorize about what they saw in the finale, so we don’t want to kind of be interpreting the finale at this point. Come Comic-Con, we’ll have a few more things to say about what’s going to happen in season six.”

Michael Emerson on Season 6, Jacob, Ben and More

Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 6 2 Comments »

SciFi Wire has published a new interview with Michael Emerson:

As usual, all things about ABC’s Lost are hush hush, lest any posters on the Fuselage message boards get wind of spoilers, but rumors persist that long-departed cast members such as Maggie Grace may return for at least one appearance in the show’s sixth and final season.

First things first though: Are the regulars still coming back? Season five ended with a bomb exploding in the past, possibly erasing the entire present of the show.

Michael Emerson, who plays Ben Linus, confirmed that at least he is still an active part of the show. “My understanding is that I am,” Emerson said in an exclusive interview last week at the Saturn Awards in Burbank, Calif. “For how much of season six, that’s a good question.”
