The end of Lost may not be the end of Lost

We are all gearing up for the end of the behemoth tv extravaganza that is Lost, but it seems the writers Carlton Cuse and Damen Lindelof are not so sure it will be the end.

In a fascinating interview with The Hollywood Reporter they revealed the following:

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.

Lindelof: Somebody made a sequel to "Gone With the Wind." Sometimes the franchise transcends the storyteller. The definitive edition of "Lost" ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell. It has a beginning, middle and end. That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, "Clearly they're going to make more of these." We don't have any connection to another TV series or movie, but there's a new "A-Team" movie coming out, for god's sake. This is a business that thrives on known commodities. "Tron" is the most buzzed-about Disney movie for next year, and it has been gathering dust for 20 years. I cannot imagine there will not be something with "Lost" on it involving smoke monsters and polar bears and time travel.

I had a dream to make my own commerce, but I did not have enough of cash to do this. Thank goodness my colleague advised to use the loan. Hence I took the credit loan and made real my old dream.

Thank you, it's very brilliant description it might be very kind for students. For example last year when I had a difficult of time at the end of semester with a ceaseless flow of academic assignments and tasks, I had a astonishing idea to buy it somewhere and than use plagiarism checker. I was so crippled that I did not care for what can crop up when my academic work was written by different person. To my greatest surprise, research paper was desirable the price I paid for it. I was so pleased with the quality and now everytime i use this service.

If you don't run after what you desire, you'll never have it. If you don't suggest, the acknowledgment is regularly no. If you don't get used to dissertation , you're regularly in the same place.
