JJ Abrams bringing 'Lost' to the big screen? For the past few days, we've been hearing speculation regarding a motion picture based on the hit television series "Lost". Of course, we were one of the first sites to write it off as false, but as it turns out, it may not be so false after all.
JJ Abrams spoke briefly with Entertainment Tonight about his latest series "Fringe" which airs Thursday nights on Fox. In the midst of the interview, Abrams slipped up when he said that a "Lost" movie was indeed in the works. Apparently, the announcement wasn't suppose to be made until sometime this Summer, but as you know, it can be rather difficult to contain a secret as big as that.
Knowing he was already in trouble with Warner Brothers, the studio he confirmed would be distributing the movie, Abrams did what anybody would do in his situation, he went on to reveal even more top secret details about the picture. He states, "I probably shouldn't have said that and Warner Bros. is going to have my ass for this one, but yes, a big screen version of 'Lost' is already in pre-production. We have a great script by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio and we're working with a $145 million budget."
Can you say awesome? Elliott and Rossio are responsible for writing the "Pirates of the Carribean" films. Abrams didn't announce a director nor did he mention anything about the casting, but damn it, our beloved series is actually coming to the big screen. What do you guys think? Are you excited?
