Tara Bennett and Paul Terry, co-authors of the LOST Encyclopedia, have announced on their Facebook page that the book will hit stores in mid-October in the US, Canada and UK. The exact date has not been set yet:
Honestly there’s no exact date. It’s when they make it from the printer to the warehouses for delivery so it’s not like a DVD release which is a hard date.
There is life beyond the great white light for at least one Lost actor: Sam Anderson has been tapped for a guest-starring role on NCIS, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
The veteran character actor will appear in Season 8′s second episode as Walter Carmichael, a middle school teacher whose classroom becomes a crime scene when one of his students is kidnapped. The episode also features William Devane (Knots Landing) as the grandfather of the abducted girl.
The Examiner’s Matt Carter interviewed LOST’s Henry Ian Cusick and “Law & Order: SVU” showrunner Neal Baer to talk about Ian’s upcoming guest appearance on the NBC show:
Matt Carter: Henry, after being on such a successful show for so long, how important was it to get back on TV soon? What drove to this project in particular?
Henry Ian Cusick: I was looking to get back into TV right away — I was looking to get away from Desmond. I was no longer Henry Ian Cusick, I was Desmond. So I wanted to shed that skin. Then when I met Neal and he called me into his office I was very charmed by him. I talked quickly to the writers [about the characters] and I was sold, really. It was as simple as that. I like them, I like their idea, and it seemed like a really cool thing to get involved with — so I went for it.
So how would you two describe the character of Erik Weber?
Cusick: He’s a graphic designer that you meet very early on in the episode, and he’s very taken right away with Mariska Hargitay’s character and tries to help them out.
Neal Baer: I know ['Lost' executive producer] Carlton Cuse very well, so I joked that ‘Carlton, we’re going to take everyone from Lost and put them on. We’ve run out of people from Oz and The Wire — we gotta go to Lost.’ Naveen [Andrews] was on last year, and I love the show and I love Ian’s character so it’s like ‘great, I have this two-episode part.’

Spike TV has announced the nominees for the 2010 Scream Awards. LOST has been nominated for The Ultimate Scream, Best TV Show and Best Ensemble. Evangeline Lilly, Matthew Fox, Josh Holloway, Yunjin Kim and Terry O’Quinn have received individual nods for their performance on LOST’s final season.
Television shows on DVD may peter out after the first few seasons, but not “Lost.”
The celebrated TV show’s sixth and final season debuted as the top-selling DVD and Blu-ray Disc release the week ending Aug. 29, despite a price tag three times higher than the average new movie.
On the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart, “Lost: The Complete Sixth Season,” from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment, snatched the top spot from another Disney release, the Miley Cyrus film “The Last Song,” which slipped to No. 3 its sophomore week.
Sony Pictures’ “The Back-Up Plan,” a romantic comedy with Jennifer Lopez that grossed $37.5 million in theaters, debuted at No. 2, selling 75% as many units as “Lost.”
“Lost” also debuted at No. 1 on Nielsen VideoScan’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart, with the newly issued “Lost: The Complete Series” bowing at No. 2, despite a suggested retail price of $279.99.
But then again, Blu-ray Disc and “Lost” seem made for each other, with 20% of all “Lost” season sets sold last week in the high-definition format.
Looks like Michael will appear in the first episode of the PBS miniseries. Michael plays John Winthrop:
Episode One, “A New Adam” ( October 11, 9-10pm ET on PBS ): The first hour of God in America explores the origins of America’s unique religious landscape—how the New World challenged and changed the faiths the first European settlers brought with them. In New Mexico, the spiritual rituals of the Pueblo Indians collided with the Catholic faith of Franciscan missionaries, ending in a bloody revolt. In New England, Puritan leader John Winthrop faced off against religious dissenters from within his own ranks. And a new message of spiritual rebirth from evangelical preachers like George Whitefield swept through the American colonies, upending traditional religious authority and kindling a rebellious spirit that converged with the political upheaval of the American Revolution.
