TV Tattler: Celebrity Interviews
The Castaways and the Crew of 'Lost' Come Clean
|
Sept. 5 -- Previously on 'Lost' ...
We finally found out what was in the hatch, what the numbers signified and why the plane crashed on the island.
Season two answered a lot of questions, but for any true 'Lost' fan, there are always more clues to discover.
The seven disc 'Lost' season two DVD box set washes ashore on Sept. 5 and it is packed with over eight hours of extras including audio commentaries, deleted scenes, unaired flashbacks, bloopers and a montage of Sawyer's best "Sawyerisms." Season three of 'Lost' premieres Wed., Oct. 4, at 9PM ET on ABC.
In interviews with AOL Television editor Sean Doorly at the Season Two DVD red carpet party in Hawaii, the castaways and the crew chatted about their favorite moments from season two, the inside scoop on season three and, for one character, the desire for more sex.
What will be different in season three?
Carlton Cuse (Executive Producer): We had a lot of mythology in the show last year, and I think we are interested, writing wise, on telling stories more on a romantic axis and more action-adventure this year. There will be plenty of weird stuff in the show too, for all the people who love 'Lost' for the unexpected twists and turns.
This season will be filled with romance. Who do you think is best for Kate?
Evangeline Lilly (Kate Austen): For most of season one and two, I thought Sawyer was better for Kate because they were on a level with each other. They were really compatible in the way they mutually understood and respected each other, and Jack was always a little high and mighty for Kate. But I feel Kate has grown enough in these two seasons, so she is on a level with both of them now. I feel like it could split either way, and Kate will be equally satisfied.
How has your lifestyle changed since moving to Hawaii?
Evangeline Lilly: It has changed. I cannot wear scarves, boots, coats and hats anymore. I miss it like it crazy. I'm a good Canadian girl. I miss all that good stuff. I miss tobogganing and I miss snowboarding, but I have also learned to surf. I've become a water baby, which I used to be relatively terrified of the water.
How was your summer?
Evangeline Lilly: My whole summer was wonderful. I went up to Canada, and I went to Europe for a while. I tried desperately to relax and to stay away from the media -- no offense -- and fanfare as much as possible and pretend I was this anonymous schoolgirl again.
Do you like the action side of Kate?
Evangeline Lilly: I love it. My best days on set are when I'm doing my own stunts because emotionally you become so wildly drained. I will go home so much more exhausted from an emotional scene than I do from a physical scene. A physical scene invigorates me. It gives me energy. I go home pumped up. I love that Kate is an action woman and I love that she breaks the stereotype of the women sitting by the campfire cooking the food while the men go off on these heroic expeditions.
If you could change one thing about your character, what would that be?
Michael Emerson (Henry Gale): I would make him irresistible to women.
Terry O'Quinn (John Locke): More sex.
What was your favorite moment from season two?
Michael Emerson (Henry Gale): I liked when Mr. Eko cut off the little bit of his beard and offered it to me. That was a creepy moment. It was electrifying the playing of the scene and we did it several times and it was always a little bit scary.
Yoon-jin Kim (Sun Kwon): Out of Sun and Jin's moments when they bump into each other. It was supposed to be our flashback and we never worked together. We would say, "How was your episode coming along?" In the very last moment when they bump into each other. I loved it. I loved how they shot it and how that moment came up.
Daniel Dae Kim (Jin Kwon): Learning about Sun's pregnancy for Jin. I think that was a pretty big moment.
Jorge Garcia (Hugo "Hurley" Reyes): I am proud of the episode 'Dave,' and kissing on the cliff top was a cool moment. 'Dave' was great. I got to show all different sides of my character.
Terry O'Quinn (John Locke): Smashing the computer. I was tired of pushing the button.
Carlton Cuse: I loved Adewale's reciting the 23rd Psalm over the burning wreckage of his brother's plane. That moment really got to me. He did such a great job performance wise there. It was really moving.
Bryan Burk (Producer): I loved the opening of season two. We came right in and did not dance around. We saw the inside of the hatch immediately. That was an exciting moment. We are fans first and we would be absurdly frustrated if the first few episodes were "they found another hatch!" I also thought Michael's killing of Anna Lucia and Libby was tragic and shocking.
Michael Giacchino (Composer): I loved the whole Hatch thing. I loved when Hurley was passing out the food and he was going through this whole struggle and finally just said screw it and handed it to everyone.
What are you most excited about in season three?
Evangeline Lilly: Personally, I'm looking forward to yet again settling a little bit farther into the lifestyle and the industry because it is something that is all so new to me. The first year, particularly, it was very stressful and it was very intense. I like the idea that as every year goes by that intensity will mellow and I will be able to spend a little bit more time relaxing and enjoying the benefits of the job and the industry rather than trying to play catch up.
Yoon-jin Kim: To find out whom the Others are. I can't wait. It has been bothering me all summer and hopefully I and we will all find out.
Jorge Garcia: I'm excited to find out what has happened. There is so much tragedy that hit Hurley at the end of season two. I just want to see how he came out of it. How is he different and how he has changed? In the second episode, there is a little more of Hurley than in the first.
Terry O'Quinn: Potential. I'm most excited about possibility. They haven't told us anything. I just hope it is good.
Carlton Cuse: The first six episodes are going to focus on the dilemmas that were set up in the finale last year; the fact that Jack, Kate and Sawyer are in captivity. The fact the hatch blew up or did something weird. And also, there is Sayid, Sun and Jin off in that sailboat and what is going to happen to them. There are a lot of balls that are up in the air. Those questions will all be addressed in the first six episodes, but obviously new story complications will arise. There is going to be a great cliffhanger at the end of episode six, which will hopefully keep everyone chomping at the bit for the show's return in February, and then it will run straight through May, which we love. We love the momentum of that.
Bryan Burk: The first episode is spectacular. We are jumping right into a whole new season. It will set the tone for what the show will be this year. Every year we try to figure a new way to go in. It is exciting finding new ways to tell our story every year. If we can't reinvent ourselves every year, then why do it. That's what's exciting.
