The makers of the Wolverine movie tie-in video game are apparently big fans of Lost. Check out this video captured by a player who discovered an interesting — and very recognizable — easter egg hidden in the game!

Lost: Messages from the Island is a gorgeous, full-color, 176-page coffee table book from Titan Books, the same folks that publish The Official Lost Magazine. The short description is that the book compiles the best feature articles from the magazine’s coverage of the first two seasons of the show.

But that hardly does it justice. Messages from the Island is a behind-the-scenes, “making of” junkie’s dream come true. The book has interviews with every member of the entire original cast — and several newcomers that joined in Season 2 — and many of the show’s production crew as well, all of whom talk about the origins of the show and reveal little-known secrets about how it first came together. As such, it makes a perfect companion to any Lost fan’s DVD or Blu-ray collection, since it bears the “official” Lost seal, so to speak.

I particularly enjoyed the separate interviews with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who both detail their origins with the show, what a typical day is like for them, and their overall philosophies for how they make the show work. But my favorite parts of the book are the conceptual designs, floor plans, never-before-seen images, and storyboards that show just how much thought, planning, and details go into creating everything on Lost. One feature shows off pictures of the Swan station set, and the attention to detail inside that pivotal location is fascinating. Another shows off side-by-side comparisons of a high-tension moment that has storyboards on one side and stills from the final episode on the other. It’s probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to a true, fully illustrated production diary from the show.

The only caveat I can find is that all of the book’s content is drawn from magazine articles written about Seasons 1 and 2. (Presumably materials from the other four seasons’ worth of magazines is being saved for additional volumes.) Needless to say, all of the book’s content feels quite dated. On the other hand, it is pretty nifty to effectively have a “time capsule” look back at the show’s earliest days, when the cast and crew were excited and full of optimism about Lost’s popularity, yet had no idea where the story was going.

A must-have for all true Losties.

A new article in The Hollywood Reporter breaks down the impact and importance that featuring a genre television show at Comic-Con International can have. Within that piece, there’s a tidbit from an ABC spokesperson about their plans for Lost at the event, which they credit as “the first TV show to launch at Comic-Con.”

ABC has taken an increasingly unique approach to its Lost panel. Instead of simply screening footage and answering questions, the event is a carefully planned production that typically includes specifically shot footage and surprise guests.

“We’ve been working on the Lost panel for literally months,” said Mike Benson, executive vp marketing at ABC Entertainment. “We want the audience to experience Lost in a fully entertaining way.”

That sound you now hear is the roof breaking from my anticipation level skyrocketing through it.

What in the world are they smoking in Bolivia these days?

A Bolivian news station forever soiled its credibility last week by airing screen captures from the pilot episode of Lost, and claiming it was “exclusive images” recovered from the digital camera of a dead passenger from the Air France flight that crashed on June 1st. (I tell ya, you couldn’t make up stuff like this.) The news agency in question is claiming to be victims of a hoax, and yet none of them seemed to notice that the Lost images depict a daytime plane crash, while the Air France tragedy occurred at night. Not to mention the very obvious presence of actress Evangeline Lilly in the forefront of the supposed “photographs.”

Watch the footage below, and then decide for yourself just how dumb one has to be to fall for such an obvious prank…

Entertainment Weekly reports that actor Mark Pellegrino, who was unveiled as Lost’s Jacob at the end of Season 5, is joining the cast of The CW’s Supernatural playing none other than Satan himself. (Hopefully he’s not being pigeonholed for playing rather spectral, non-human characters.)

If you’re wondering (and of course you are) if this means that Jacob’s time on Lost is over, and Jacob may really be dead after all… EW points out that Pellegrino’s status on Supernatural is as a recurring character, not a regular. So he should still have free time on his schedule in case some trips to Hawaii are requested of him…

Okay, so we know that Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Maggie Grace (Shannon), and Ian Somerhalder (Boone) are all keen to return to Lost in its final season, and at least one of them has been in active talks with the show’s producers about that very possibility.

Now Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, the actor who famously played Mr. Eko — and then asked to be released from his contract long before his planned character arc was finished — says he wouldn’t mind going back to Lost. “To be able to give that rich character some completion would be nice,” he told TV Guide Magazine. Quite a change of heart.

But as TVG points out, the actor burned a lot of bridges with the show’s producers when he left it prematurely, forcing them to compensate by ending their long-term plans for his character. What do you think? Could a full-on reunion with Lost’s dearly departed be in the cards for Season 6? Or would Lost’s producers even consider bringing the actor back, after their difficult first experience?
