No, actually, I don't want to see a Lost movie - VIDEO
So J.J. Abrams says that there might be a Lost big screen movie in the future. This is a terrible idea.You know what that would mean? It would mean that the ending we've been promised - after the sixth season - really won't be the complete ending. We'll get a lot of answers but not all of them. They'll save that for the movie that we'll have to pay $10 to see. At least the X-Files movie came in the middle of the series run, and the sequel was a stand-alone story, so you didn't feel you were getting ripped off or teased. A stand-alone Lost movie wouldn't make much sense.
To be fair, he says that a movie version of the ABC series isn't a definite at all, and his "gut" tells him it won't happen, but he's less against the idea now than he was a couple of years ago, and I'm sure other forces could convince everyone to make the flick (for example, money). I don't want to see a "continuation" of the story on the big screen. In fact, I'll tell Abrams and Lindelof and everyone else over at the show this right now: if you make a movie of the show I won't go see it. I'll just wait and rent it on DVD.
Here's the video. Keep watching the segment after it ends as Abrams talks about William Shatner, bad interview questions, and Stanley Tucci.
