Darren Aronofsky will direct 'Lost'

Categories: 'Lost'

Who knew cult director Darren Aronofsky was a fan of the boob tube? The Requiem for a Dream helmer has just signed on to direct an episode of ABC’s Lost, which will likely air at the beginning of May sweeps. “It was one of those fantastic calls out of the blue,” says Lost exec producer Carlton Cuse. “His agents let us know he liked the show, and we jumped at the opportunity. Apparently, he had been watching Lost while up in Montreal shooting The Fountain and got hooked.” Speaking of which, won’t this interfere with completing Fountain, the director’s six years-in-the-making sci-fi epic starring fiancée Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman? “I think he will be done,” speculates Cuse. “We scheduled it so that [the episode] is coming on the heels of finishing The Fountain. And we will try to put together a story that will be well-suited for Darren’s talents and visual imagination.”

Not much on my mind lately, but that's how it is. My life's been dull these days, but such is life. I haven't been up to much recently.

I haven't been up to much today. What can I say? I can't be bothered with anything lately. I just don't have anything to say these days, but eh. I don't care.

Google Stillstand? Seit gut einer Woche taucht kein einziger Artikel, den wir schreiben, in den Index aufgenommen. Hat jemand ahnliche Erfahrungen? Normalerweise dauert das nur 1-2 Tage bis Google die Artikel im Index auffuhrt. Gehts es anderen auch so?

I can't be bothered with anything recently. I've pretty much been doing nothing to speak of. Not that it matters.

I haven't been up to anything lately. I've just been letting everything wash over me recently. My life's been generally boring lately.

I haven't been up to much , but I guess it doesn't bother me. Pfft. I just don't have much to say lately, but maybe tomorrow. Basically nothing seems worth doing.

I've just been letting everything happen without me these days. I've pretty much been doing nothing , but oh well. More or less nothing notable going on to speak of. I just don't have anything to say these days, but maybe tomorrow.

I just don't have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I've basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn't bother me. Not much on my mind.

My life's been bland. I've basically been doing nothing to speak of, but what can I say? Not that it matters. Eh. Such is life.

Addison Lee Tue, Feb 14, 2006 at 08:11 PM EST

Sounds cool. I'd love to see Chris Nolan or Spielberg do an episode. And EW should do a Nolan vs Aronofsky feature in their mag. Both directors have different styles but similar beginnings. Might be interesting.

Hip Hop montages in Lost.... it will be amazing...suspenseful, even scary.... he is going to do visually amazing things to Lost...

Kudos..!

and he's from Brooklyn!

Karen Thu, Nov 3, 2005 at 11:40 AM EST

We like the show, but it is filmed to dark (we can't see). Also would like continuing story.NOT RERUNS!!! We are thinking of finding something else to watch weekly.

hugo Fri, Oct 28, 2005 at 01:31 PM EST

They have more information on the episode here: http://www.lowculture.com/archives/2005/10/the_eyes_have_i_1.html

Dave Thu, Oct 27, 2005 at 03:17 PM EST

Of course they will have a good story for him. Its May sweeps, so all those eps will have great storylines either way.

But I wouldnt be surprised if they tried to give him a really good one, as the whole eye-opening thing seems like an homage to reqiuem for a dream. Im sure theyre fans (who isnt?), so they will do him justice.

I mean look at tarantino and CSI.

Doc Arzt Thu, Oct 27, 2005 at 03:14 PM EST

http://www.thetailsection.com has a bunch of info about this show. Lots of hires screen caps too...

Esther Kustanowitz Thu, Oct 27, 2005 at 11:16 AM EST

This show is consistently amazing on all fronts, and I'm sure Darren will do an amazing job as well. And while we're all salivating, let's imagine future eps helmed by Quentin and Joss, and maybe if we hope and wish hard enough, it will come true...

m1k3y Thu, Oct 27, 2005 at 02:18 AM EST

this is awesome.. given how good the little surreal bit we got at the start of Everyboy Hates Hugo was, imagine what Aronofsky could do!!

john Wed, Oct 26, 2005 at 07:51 PM EST

Aronofsky is one of our generations genius directors. Lost is cool. they better actually have a story for him though.
