The Casting Call Continues

This week, I cast two of the more memorable characters on "Lost": Desmond and Ben (aka Henry Gale).

As played by Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey.

"Lost - The Movie" Gone But Not Forgotten Casting

With seven more weeks before the season resumes, let's see who should be cast as two tail section passengers who survived the plane crash but not the island: Ana Lucia and Mr. Eko.

For Ana, the equally irritating Rosie Perez and an actor perfect for capturing Eko's presence, Djimon Hounsou.

Your Weekly "Lost - The Movie" Casting Update

This week we focus on two characters that played important roles in seasons 1 and 2: Michael and Walt.









And for the Hollywood version, Jamie Foxx and Dakota Fanning (c'mon, you gotta admit she's the quintessential child actor).

Good News, Bad News

First the bad news: ABC announced today that when "Lost" returns in February, it will air at 10:00 PM EST on Wednesdays, one hour later than it previously did. The network fears losing viewers to "American Idol". Apparently, they weren't afraid of losing viewers due to drawn-out storylines, ongoing mysteries, and unresolved relationships. What does this mean for my weekly blog postings? Probably that I will not be posting until Thursday evening after I've had a chance to review the show. Oh, and get some sleep. Not necessarily in that order.

Now for the good news: Fellow Lost and Founder Helen (and not Locke's girlfriend) came up with a great suggestion for who should play Sayid. I agree that my first choice was not the best, but Helen has found the man for the job. As seen in "The Mummy" movies and Showtime's "Sleeper Cell": Oded Fehr. I'm getting his agent on the phone now.

More "Lost - The Movie" Casting

Nine more weeks to go! But until then, enjoy the next fantasy castings.
Sayid, Sun, and Jin.



Played by "Harold and Kumar's" Kal Penn (not a lot of choices to pick from), Lucy Liu, and Chow Yun Fat.
