Nice last season interview with C&L

No spoilers in the interview in case you were worried.

This part I found interesting:

THR: Can you say definitively, after this final episode, there will never be another produced hour of "Lost" on film, TV, Web, any medium -- this is it?
Cuse: The Walt Disney Co. owns "Lost." It's a franchise that's conservatively worth billions of dollars. It's hard to imagine "Lost" will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with "Lost." Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of "Lost" -- whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May.

Man they always have the perfect answers to interview questions. Maintaining that there will be a certain end after this season but still leaving the door open.

There's no way the writers/producers can guarantee something like that. THey could all move on then five years later, some ABC executive going through a folder of 'properties' could say out of the blue "We're making a LOST movie".

I'm intrigued by the new narrative device they talk about. Also:

Cuse: We ended with Juliet pounding on this atomic warhead. There's Jack's prediction that the bomb will reset events and the plane will never crash. There's the possibility that it doesn't work. We want the audience to be pondering what is the consequence of Juliet hitting that bomb. Our cliffhangers are designed to frame the question that we want audience thinking about.



I've had this crazy theory (that I might have picked up from someone else somewhere on the internets) that the show, instead of jumping to the past or future in its flashes.... is going to jump timelines - ie we're going to see BOTH outcomes, their life if they'd never crashed, AND the continuation of the island stories. Confusing as hell, I know, but hey it's LOST. that's what they do.

Or, possibly... the DHARMA-era LOSTIES get thrown into the "None of this ever happened" timeline, but they remember everything... but the modern-day LOSTIES stay in this timeline. Either way I feel like timeline/reality jumping could be this year's narrative device.
