For those of you that took part in the Dharma Wants You Recruitment program you can now see your test results and recommended position on the site. I, Samantha, have been qualified to be a gardener so I guess that would mean its the Orchid Station for me. The email sent by Hans Van Eeghen states that he and his co workers have left the states due to financial disaster, and that they have sold the Dharma Initiative to none other then Damien Lindelof and Carlton Cuse the LOST creators. What will happen to the newly recruited now?? I guess we can add this to the list of Lost’s unsolved mysteries. It would be great to hear what other positions people qualified for, so tell us by leaving a comment !!!!
UPDATE: You can read the new email here.
Below is a new article from IGN.com. (It contains some minor spoilers).
LOST’s executive producer/showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse spoke yesterday at Creative Screenwriting’s 2008 Screenwriting Expo, for an informative and fun Q&A about their creative process on the fascinating series.
The duo talked about their history together, dating back to when Cuse hired Lindelof as a writer on Nash Bridges. Cuse recounted how he’d specifically asked to see something original Lindelof had written (as opposed to a spec script based on an existing series), and was very impressed by the 17 page sample he was given of a one-act play Lindelof wrote… only to later discover Lindelof had hastily written those pages specifically for Cuse to see.
Nash Bridges star Cheech Marin plays Hurley’s dad on Lost, and Cuse revealed another Nash alum, Patrick Fischler, will be guest starring on an episode in Season 5. Mad Men fans will recognize Fischler for his recent role as Jimmy Barrett.
After working on Kevin Williamson’s Wasteland, Nash Bridges and Tim Kring’s Crossing Jordan, Lindelof recalled a meeting where he was told he’d have, “‘a great chance for you to meet J.J. [Abrams],’ who I’d been stalking for years, since Felicity and Alias.” When Abrams made it clear he had no interest in running Lost on the heels of four years each of Felicity and Alias, and also thanks to his interest in features, Lindelof knew he, “needed someone with experience” to help him, and turned to his old boss Cuse.
Lindelof admitted he was initially intimidated by the “insane creative challenges” of Lost, recalling that while they were waiting to hear if the project would be picked up as a series, he had people at the network telling him, “Yeah, the pilot is great, but there’s no series there. How are you going to do this every week?” Lindelof joked that his reply was, “I have no f**ing idea. Please don’t pick it up!”
Lost had a very expensive pilot, costing 11.5 million dollars. Cuse and Lindelof recalled that the ABC executive who greenlit it, “knew ABC was going to fire him, so this was sort of his final f**k you to them.”

Abrams, creator of cult favorites “Lost,” “Alias” and the new hit “Fringe,” offers revealing clues to his fanboy-inspiring mega-successes.
By Brian Truitt
We’re all sworn to secrecy. We can’t say anything.”
This is the mantra for most any cast or crew member on a J.J. Abrams project. On the third day of the pop-culture extravaganza known as Comic-Con International in San Diego, it’s coming from Simon Pegg, the British actor who plays Scotty in Abrams’ big-screen “Star Trek,” due out in May.
Secrets are at the heart of Abrams’ most popular works, from the ABC hits “Lost” and “Alias” and his monster movie “Cloverfield” to his new series, “Fringe.” The Fox drama’s debut episode in September scored 9.1 million viewers; the second episode rocketed to 13.4 million, the biggest second-episode increase for a network series in at least 17 years, Fox says.
There is a reason Abrams, 42, came in at No. 29 on “Entertainment Weekly’s” list of the 50 smartest people in Hollywood: He holds the secrets everybody wants to know.
Yet keeping them secret before the big reveal is about as hard as making his masterpieces in the first place. Somehow, Abrams kept his “Cloverfield” monster from leaking all over the Internet before the film reached theaters, but he also teased fans with viral websites. He does this, though, because of his fans, the ones who swarm him asking about the mysterious island on “Lost” or trying to get some “Star Trek” scoop. He is the geek deity, and waves of people part as he makes his way across the Comic-Con floor, security in tow.
There were a lot of rumors when a final end date for ABC’s “Lost” was announced that, like THE X-FILES before it, the show might have a movie in there somewhere. While you might read elsewhere on the web that this is a “maybe,” don’t believe it. I got a chance to talk to “Lost” showrunner Damon Lindelof last week and he said the idea of a “Lost” movie “makes every bone in my fanboy body cry foul.”
Lindelof explains: “People have been so patient with the show and to basically say that we’re going to end the TV show but we’re going to leave some questions unanswered so that you can pay $14 and go see it in the theater?…” I asked him if this meant we’d never see the rumored movie. “You never say never but what we are saying is that when the final episode of ‘Lost’ airs, that will be very conclusive. There will not be a question mark of the end of the words ‘THE END.’”
Add this to JJ Abrams’ comments at the MTV story (where he says “my gut is [a 'Lost' movie] would never happen”) and you can downgrade that maybe to a not bloody likely. And to me, that’s a good thing.

As some of you may already know, LOST’s co-creator J.J. Abrams has directed the new Star Trek film. What you may not know is that the movie has been produced by another LOST co-creator: Damon Lindelof. Joblo.com interviewed him to talk about the film:
Played by Eric Bana, Nero is… well, we don’t really know do we? He’s the villain and he has tattoos all over his face, but beyond that, who is Nero? Normally I’d just speculate and come up with my own ideas but seeing as how we’re pulling back the curtain so to speak, I decided to get someone on the horn who could actually provide us with some answers. It’s STAR TREK producer and “Lost” overlord Damon Lindelof!
While Damon is practiced in the art of being cagey from his years on “Lost,” he was willing to open up a bit about the movie and, specifically, Nero. Let’s see what he can tell us.
Is Nero a Romulan? “We can clearly see that Nero has pointed ears and that basically makes him either a Vulcan or a Romulan. And I would be highly dubious that he’s a Vulcan. He just does not look very logical in this picture. So draw your own conclusion.”
What is the setting for this photo? “This is the bridge of his vessel, which I will not name here.”
What’s with all the wires, tubing and duct work? “This is sort of the design of the ship. I would say that this is a very specific kind of ship - what it was constructed to do. And as a result of the kind of ship that it is, they are not very interested in the kind of Martha Stewart applications of making it pretty. You see a lot of exposed wires and ducting but it’s not like they’re having people over for tea. It’s a functioning, working ship as opposed to a Starfleet vessel, which has to be shinier because they’re ambassadors to the galaxy.”
Tell us more about Nero’s tattoos. Nero’s tattoos are unique to him and everybody on his crew has similar tattoos in that they’re covering their face but no two are the same.
