Video: A Very Funny Homage to 'Lost'
4 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »
By Josef Adalian
Love "Lost"? Dig those Lonely Island dudes? Then you'll be tickled pink by this.
Some viral video producers calling themselves The Donkey Wheel have created a super-funny clip that pays homage to both ABC's about-to-end drama and Lonely Island's very clever video "We Like Sportz."
It's called (what else?) "We Like Lost." And Carlton Cuse, creator of "Lost," liked it enough to tweet about it to his thousands of Twitter followers Monday.
ABC's marketing department ought to find a way to use this in the promotion of the fina... »

'Mad Men' Finale, 'Call of Duty' Parties, And 'Doctor Who' Research In Today's Twitter-Wood
16 hours ago | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The "Man Men" season finale Sunday night had more than a few Twitter accounts waiting to see what the third season's cliffhanger would be. Matt Fraction, Jon Favreau and Mike Costa all had reasons to be pleased by the time it was all over. Don't worry though; their tweets are spoiler free.
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" launches this week, and quite a few comics folks seem to have gotten their hands on advance copies. At least one got in to the launch party last night as well. Find out who that was after the jump along with a pair of "Doctor Who" posts, a Bryan Lee O'Malley prediction for "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World" and a new Elvis discovery by Chris Staros.
It's all in the Twitter Report for November 9, 2009.
@mattfraction also Mad Men gave me a weird mixture of nostalgia and Ptsd. what a great episode, season, show, »

[TV] Television Snippets - Sweeping Up
9 November 2009 2:42 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
As we approach Fall Sweeps, the fall season is full ramped up and ready to go, with a slew of renewals and suspensions, new ratings giants, old favorites continuing to fade out, and the World Series finally ending so we can go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
In ratings news, the headline for Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday was "World Series dominates ratings." The World Series hit a 5 year high this year with viewers, ranging from 16 to 22 million viewers a game. In Tuesday ratings news, V, which faced a large number of hurdles in getting on the air, debuted to huge numbers. While not able to beat TV ratings goliath NCIS (19.4 million viewers), the ABC science fiction had a healthy 13.9 viewers and won the ever important 18-49 age range for viewers.
Sadly enough for me, a repeat of Bones on Friday night at 9pm brought in 4 million viewers, far more »

CinemaSpy's Week-End TV Recap (Nov. 7)
7 November 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Many television viewers — and pop culture critics — are wondering just what's up with Fox's Fringe. Watchers of the show were caught unaware this past week, not realizing that the network was airing a new episode of the skein until they read about it the next day in various news outlets. Fringe simply wasn't in the listings. People's DVRs didn't pick up the show, because Fox was listed as running Game 7 of the World Series. People believed that the show would be absent one more week.
All of this is raising serious questions about how seriously Fox is treating the show, or indeed, if they're trying to kill it. The Thursday night time slot was their first error in judgment, but lapses in playing to the viewer base by neglecting to promote episodes and air times is something else entirely.
The impression left is that Fox used first-run programming as a backup to a sporting event. »

New Characters Coming to 'FlashForward'
7 November 2009 10:28 AM, PST | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »
The following article was originally posted on hyperMosaic.com by Sam McPherson. You can read the original article there.
If you haven’t already caught on to it, FlashForward is getting into a habit of playing its hand slowly, especially as far as cast goes. As opposed to many other serialized shows, where most of the main characters were introduced in the first episodes, FlashForward means to add to its main cast gradually. We’ve already seen this in the introduction of characters like Gabrielle Union’s Zoey and Dominic Monaghan’s Simon, and we should be seeing it in the future, according to showrunner David Goyer.
“We’re introducing quite a few new characters down the line,” Goyer told MTV. Among those characters is the Japanesse woman from Bryce’s vision. “…her name is Keiko,” Goyer revealed, though he was deliberately tight-lipped about any more details, instead simply telling »

TV Reviews: The Vampire Diaries 1.07: “Haunted” & 1.08: “162 Candles”
7 November 2009 10:12 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
What is it about female vampires that consistently earn them a stake through the heart on The Vampire Diaries? It’s almost as though the show is attempting to (or maybe unconsciously?) make a statement about women and power... Either way, it appears that The Vampire Diaries is hell bent on offering audiences these wonderfully colorful characters for the sole purpose of ripping them away from us in less than an episode or two.
As anyone who is watching The Vampire Diaries knows, the two female vampires I’m referring to are Vicki Donovan (yep, Damon turned her… because he was bored) and Lexi (guest appearance by Arielle Kebbel), a vampire friend of Stefan’s who arrives in Mystic Falls at the beginning of episode 1.08, “162 Candles”, to celebrate Stefan’s (Paul Wesley) 162nd birthday. Episode 1.07, “Haunted”, is Vicki’s (Kayla Ewell) time to shine. Although her schizophrenic mood swings and »

Busy Mitchell Puts Halloween On Hold
6 November 2009 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Halloween is on hold for Lost star Elizabeth Mitchell's four-year-old son - because mommy was working on a movie as the trick or treaters came calling.
The actress, who played kindly Mrs Claus in family film The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, was too busy to organise a Halloween party last weekend, so she has decided to trick her son into thinking the spookiest night of the year hasn't happened yet.
She explains, "Every single time kids in costumes would come up (to the door) my husband would be like, 'Look over there'. We're gonna stage a Halloween. I talked to my neighbours (and) we're gonna give them all candy and they're just gonna give it all back to us.

J.J. Abrams Producing NBC Pilot Undercovers; May Direct
6 November 2009 12:43 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
“Star Trek” director J.J. Abrams is once again using his producing magic to get another TV series off the ground. Yes, I know that “What About Brian” and “Six Degrees” were both cancelled, but he’s had some success with the last two projects he helped launch, “Lost” and “Fringe”. Now he’s going to try to give NBC a dramatic hit they sorely need in their line-up with “Undercovers”. Hit the jump for details.
THR reports that, schedule permitting, Abrams will make “Undercovers” the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004’s “Lost” opener. According to THR, it was the success of that pilot which helped Abrams get the gigs for “Mission: Impossible III” and later “Star Trek”. This means that no one took much notice of the episodes he directed of “Felicity” and “Alias”. Good thing that “Lost” turned out to be one of the best television series of all-time. »

NBC wins bidding war for J.J. Abrams' new series
Abrams, who is also executive-producing the married spies project, hasn't directed a TV pilot since the blockbuster, two-hour opening salvo of Lost in 2004. About a year later, he segued into directing such films as Mission: Impossible III and the Star Trek reboot.
Abrams' other TV directing credits include a 2007 episode of The Office and an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2006...

Micronauts the Movie? J.J. Abrams? Wth?
6 November 2009 9:11 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
The Wall Street Journal, of all places, currently has an article on Hollywood’s gold rush to make movies out of toys and board games following the phenomenal success of Michael Bay’s “Transformers”. Toward the end of the article, it mentions that “Star Trek’s” (and “Lost” mastermind) J.J. Abrams is currently in discussions to produce a movie based on the Japanese toy line Micronauts, which, coincidentally, Hasbro (the same people behind “Transformers”) has just acquired. Opines Abrams: “Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor’s talent, sex appeal, looks, ability — their everything. But then they get the role, and suddenly they are on the cover of every magazine, and nobody questions those things again. In retrospect, everyone says, ‘Of course that person is a star.’” I don »

Abrams’ TV Spy Show Gets a Title, May Direct
6 November 2009 8:14 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
As mentioned last month, J.J. Abrams is returning to the TV spy game with a new TV show, but we didn’t know the title of his husband-and-wife spy show then. Now we do: it’s going to be called “Undercovers”, which I suppose is a decent enough title. I guess. Hey, he’s J.J. Abrams, if he thinks that’s a cool title, I guess it is. In any case, the other big news is that Abrams is directing the pilot for NBC. Described as a cross between “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” and (of course) “The Bourne Identity” (seriously, someone please make another great action movie so I can stop hearing how this movie or that TV show is “like ‘The Bourne Identity’”), “Undercovers” will be Abrams’ first pilot since 2004’s “Lost” pilot. The show was co-created by Abrams and Josh Reims, and will center on two married spies »

Welcome to your Friday morning television briefing. J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct his NBC espionage drama pilot Undercovers for Warner Bros. Television, marking the first time that he has directed a pilot since the series premiere of ABC's Lost.

Project is written by Josh Reims (Felicity, Dirty Sexy Money), who will executive produce with Abrams and Bryan Burk. (Hollywood Reporter) Spoiler!

J.J. Abrams In Talks For 'Micronauts' Movie
6 November 2009 6:32 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
The Transformers and G.I. Joe have had their time to shine, now "Star Trek" director and "Lost" creator J.J. Abrams could be granting these franchises' action-figure forebearers a chance at the big time.
According to The Wall Street Journal Abrams is currently in discussions with Hasbro to produce a Micronauts film, the latest in a line of properties the toy company has optioned.
Hasbro recently acquired the rights to the Micronauts from Japanese originators Takara. Originally marketed under the Microman banner, the interchangeable-style action figures were imported by the now-defunct Mego toy company in 1976, later to be revived by Palisades Toys in 2002.
Of course, this isn't Hasbro's first partnership with Takara. Back in 1984 the toy companies essentially transitioned their shape-changing Micronauts and Diaclone toy lines into what would come to be known as the Transformers.
The success of Micronauts in toy stores lead to comic book series published by »

J.J. Abrams takes on the Micronauts
6 November 2009 3:42 AM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »
J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Lost, Alias) is reported to be in discussions to produce a feature film based on the Micronauts toy franchise, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Micronauts toy line was created by Takara, later acquired by Tomy, and debuted in 1974 in Japan, where the line is known as Microman. Two years later the Mego Corporation introduced Micronauts to the Us, and released five series of toys through 1980. Palisades Toys acquired the right to reproduce the toys in 2002, and the entire line was recently acquired by Hasbro. Additionally, Marvel Comics, Devil's Due and Image Comics published Micronauts comic books, with several paperback books based on the property published by Byron Preiss Visual Publications.
At one point, they were so tightly integrated with the Marvel Universe that they crossed over with the X-Men and spun out a character that has crossed over with most of the rest of the line, »

J.J. Abrams in talks to direct the pilot episode of Undercovers
5 November 2009 11:14 PM, PST | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »
On top of executive producing his "Undercovers" Warner Bros. pilot at NBC, J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the opening episode. Schedule permitting, Abrams will make "Undercovers" the first TV pilot he has directed since 2004's "Lost" rwo-part opener which is considered one of the best-directed pilots of all time. This aided in skyrocketing Abrams' career to directing roles like "Mission: Impossible 3" and the recent blockbuster "Star Trek." Abrams served as producer for various TV shows including "Fringe" and also directed an episode of "The Office" in 2007. »
TV News: J.J. Abrams Wants to Direct NBC Pilot Undercovers, Cartoon Network Adds Live Action Shows, Comedy Central & The Onion Team Up for Pilot, HBO Developing Transgender Series
5 November 2009 9:46 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
We have a bevy of TV updates tonight: First up, it appears that J.J. Abrams is in talks to direct the pilot of his newest series on NBC, a spy drama entitled Undercovers. We previously reported the fact that he was developing the show, and that it seemed to be strikingly similar to Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It's been a while since we've seen Abrams behind the directors chair for one of his own shows. He directed Lost's fantastic pilot, but hasn't yet done anything for Fringe. Alias's pilot was his first foray into directing action, and he's definitely honed that craft in his subsequent works, especially Mission: Impossible 3 and Star Trek. It's going to be interesting to see how he translates his recent big screen experience to television. Also, Cartoon Network has given the production green light to two live action series.

J.J. Abrams Is Secretly Radiating Someone
5 November 2009 3:16 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
J.J. Abrams has a sci-fi project in development. No, not Star Trek 2. Or that other movie you're thinking of. Or the other. Yes, there's yet another sci-fi project with Abrams' name on it, and as usual, he's trying to keep it top secret. Pajiba got word of 500 Rads, a project that's budgeted at $25 million, being set up in Europe, and will probably be in the vein of Cloverfield and 28 Days Later. Which means it could be anything, really. Jeff Pinkner, a veteran writer from Abrams TV shows like Alias and Lost, started work on a script, but some other people are apparently jumping in to finish it up. Oh, and "rads" probably refers to "absorbed radiation dose," which Pajiba predicts might mean that there are zombie-type creatures lurking in this film somewhere. We can probably assume that Abrams isn't directing, given the zillion other projects he's got going on, »

Jj Abrams loves big sci-fi and mysteries, but apparently he also digs little toys. Buried in a Wall Street Journal article about studios scrambling for "toyetic" (sorry, their term) properties to transform (ahem) into movies is this brief statement: J.J. Abrams, who created the TV show "Lost" and directed this summer's Star Trek film, is in discussions to produce a movie about Japanese toy line Micronauts, which Hasbro just acquired.
