Sorry, guys. Kristen Bell is not joining Lost

by Anna Johns, posted Aug 11th 2007 4:09PM

kristen bellAll casting rumors for Lost seem to have been debunked almost as quickly as they spread.

Last week, Isabelle reported on word that Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell and Prison Break's Peter Stormare were being considered for two new recurring roles on Lost. The Stormare rumor got squashed pretty quickly, and today TV Guide's Ausiello is reporting that Kristen Bell won't be joining the cast, either. The reason, he says, is because Bell didn't want to relocate to Hawaii.

Well, shucks. I adore Stormare and would love to see Bell get a gig that'll give her a wider audience.

"The reason, he says, is because Bell didn't want to relocate to Hawaii." I dont think that is true.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_3ftCS5TBs&feature=related in this interview she claims says that she was never offered the role. Plus, she talks about wanting to go to Hawaii.

Personally I'm glad as I'm not a big fan of hers. Also, I'm not interested in too many more cast members being thrown in the mix (unless it helps tell the story of the island). Waiting until February is hard enough without worrying about new people!

I'm glad Kristen passed on Lost. Most people seem to think the move would have been a step up, I would definitely see it as a step down. Kristen was the main character on Veronica Mars, on Lost she would have been one character in an ensemble. Lost is no platform for actors seeking advancement. More power to her for staying the course and not taking the easy option... Also means I don't have to catch Lost to see her =)

Wow, what a shame... but Kristen still has a pretty good at shot at increasing her profile soon-- she's doing Judd Apatow's FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL, and FANBOYS.

What a drag. First Veronica Mars is canceled and then Kristen passes on Lost. Fans of good TV can't catch a break.

Last I heard she wasn't going to be in Lost because nobody actually approached her (or her 'people') and it was a load of internet crap.

As if there weren't enough dogs to save on Hawaii.

I bet my fat ass that there are other, real rasons.

Sshhh... the Shuttle crew is about to be wakened up :-)
