On submission of the second season of Lost, Damon Lindelof had a long meeting with the community of Lost Addicted, telling the secrets of Lost and a talented writer. We offer the first part and short of the second. Lost is a compendium of literary influences, cultural and film really ampia.In Lost is somehow a way of making films in televisione.Come remember the beginning of this experience?
The true beginning of Lost was when the television executive producer Lloyd Braun, who later became president of ABC staying for a long time, he intended to take advantage of great ideas for ABC and produce new TV series. When he saw the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks thought it was a good idea to make an ABC TV series to all but laughed in the face because they did not think you could adapt to a series. After all, who wants to see for weeks one that lights the fire or break the coconut on TV (laughs ed)? Lloyd's idea was different. Having more people, a group of people, falling down a plane, a situation more dramatic, and for years has tried to convince people that it was a good idea even if no one disagreed. Allorapreparò a script and sent it to Aaron Sperling, famous TV producer ... has made Beverly Hills, Melrose Place, and many others ... and he really liked the script and went to JJ Abrams who was working at Alias \u200b\u200bfor ABC, of which I am a big fan, and said "I want JJ \u200b\u200bto prepare a program and I need help." Because nobody wants to see a group of people on an island and in fact said that JJ was a terrible idea for a show television, maybe a movie, maybe six episodes a season so much to say but not a TV show. Also said she was too busy with other projects for which Alias \u200b\u200band "thank you but I can not." Lloyd told him that if he could help him achieve it in some way, he would be very grateful to JJ and said "ok I will talk to someone." Seven years I was a fan of JJ and a friend of mine worked at ABC for another, and contacted me to tell me that Lloyd Braun wanted to do a TV series about a plane crash and the guys on an island. I said, "is a terrible idea ! Nobody will see it past the first episode, "and my friend said," JJ said the same thing "and I" JJ ???"( ride ndr) and I said if we wanted to meet and talk about horrible idea he was and I accepted ... this Friday ... so then she called me back and we met that Monday and stayed long to talk about that and I thought I had quite a bit about this idea and thought that maybe if they had been many people and all very mysterious, and if half of the show was before the crash and half after the accident on the island was maybe something good can get us out. And if we were able to make everything so mysterious was all the more intriguing and I went to JJ with all these ideas in mind and when we began to talk seriously about it and I realized that we were on the same wavelength and smile because the idea began to form. I saw that he agreed on my ideas and I proposed to open up a man and not the accident airplane, opening up a man would have told viewers that it was all about the people who are on the island and every week we would have dealt with one of them, we wanted to give the experience of show through them as seen the episode. The first episode of the second series opens with Jack, and we go with him in the hatch, as has happened in the first episode of the series with the first plane crash. He is a mysterious character because he is a doctor, but do not know much because I do not want to talk and after we have accepted this idea we started talking about what had left the island and we have many, many, many ideas of what it was, where was, how it worked, who was there before and what people on the plane we were there. And from that Monday afternoon for 11 weeks we have prepared a pilot for two hours, we have written or have made the cast, we ran away like crazy across the United States and we shot it in a few weeks. This was the time we had and this is the time that we used. There was not much time to think, there was hardly time to put on his pants! However, the Italian dubbing is fantastic! I expect any minute to come out now and put someone to dub me (ride ndr)
When did you start writing and what you saw as a boy that made you take the passion for writing?
Since I remember I always wanted to be a scrittore.E my father was a big fan of films, particularly films of Orson Welles and when I was very young to take me to see films in New York city and at that time, we talked about 70 years later, they began to exit the various Star Wars Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Jaws, that's probably why Lost is so dark and I saw these films 15,16,17 times and I became a big fan of adventure stories but also cartoons and since then I wanted to be someone who tells stories. I watched too much television when I was young, probably were not masterpieces, but remember that I loved The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice. It was all great fun but I think that great big movie and television are made by great people, and to respond to people about my writing, because the television I feel good because you can develop the characters: we Lost in 49 hours we did, in 2 years the characters have gone incredibly well and in a film you only have two hours and your characters have to evolve quickly, but on television you can go deeper and deeper into a particular show like this. In this episode, we already know that nothing will happen to Jack's serious, but the dramatic effect is the fact that we do not know why he does not want to enter the hatch and this because they are afraid to believe, and this because when I grew up, and I saw people wondering why the characters did certain things, and television has evolved in this direction.
In your autobiography, you say that maybe you've seen too much TV. And your saying that you? And since we first watched too much TV and now that you think?
My father said nothing. My mother used to say two hours a day and then to have two more hours I woke up early in the morning while they were still asleep and then went back to bed and when I was awake again I said "OK, Mom, now touch me 2 hours." Cheated to watch more TV as possible!
What Welles movie you remember seeing your father?
That favorite of my father, after Citizen Kane, Touch of Evil was that I have seen many volte.L 'Magnificent Ambersons was also a film stupendo.Un' but had been trying for a long time was Mr. Arkadin Confidential Report, which was recently restored. I guess what I did to my father, Orson Wells was that it was a showman but also a genius. The very idea of \u200b\u200bThe War of the Worlds, crossed the line of what is true and what is fiction, allowing your audience to identify with the events is great. If you see a film like Citizen Kane first came to certain conclusions. You can watch a movie in a way you feel is what is in mondoreale, even though you know it's only fiction. In the way of telling stories that appeals to me is a mixture of fantasy and reality and Orson Welles liked to look like a crook or a con man Sawyer and is largely based on Orson Welles was a great inspiration as it was for the person who had been.
you think there is no connection in the fact that Welles has influenced you and the mix between reality and fiction that is in Lost?
Yes, I will tell you that it is wrong to think that Lost is entirely a product of my JJ or why so many people are involved. One day an idea comes from producers who want certain things. Sometimes Jack Bender has directed many episodes, maybe a third. It 's a work of many many people. And Orson Welles is likely to have come from outside influences that we have in common. I studied film in New York and saw a lot of wonderful films, and many times I make myself, but most of the time I steal ideas and I say this with pride because I think that someone has done something good. For me the most exciting thing is if one day a steal from Lost because I have stolen from so many places, there are so many stories to tell and so many ways' s where you see your score, combining different elements and people will sees him as a product of science fiction, others see him and find adventure and more a product of something based on the characters and all these things together! It is hoped that the viewer able to find their own way to interpret it.
A characteristic of your generation is to go beyond the categories and invent something new that is all and it's nothing ...
Yes, the idea is to help such people the chance to find something. Especially on television. This is a medical series, this is a detective series, this is a sit-com ... What we can say is that we do not know exactly explain what it is, you just have to watch it. We tell stories in a different order. What happens in the past and present. It 's very confused. The spettaotri pazienti.In be an episode you see the computer but do not know what does say, what's the point of contact but you know, I hope if you trust us, go ahead and find out more mysteries on television, but many times they want everything done right away so that the public is satisfied within an hour like CSI where there is a dead end at the beginning and you know who it was .. It 's very satisfying to be missed a couple of episodes of CSI and then go and everything is as before. Lost is like a book. E 'written chapter by chapter and can not start a book from beginning to read chapter 15. This serialization is much desired by me and JJ and is very similar to that of the comic is very popular, and yet the experience I had with my father as Rocketman serials, the Lone Ranger that was nine minutes long, short films that were shot in a dramatic way that required to go see the sequel and we were big fans of this type of product and we wanted to play it.
About this serial, we have a new type of television shows that use this division in capitoli.Six Feet Under, Nip / Tuck, Desperate Housewives ...
The public has become very intelligente.Se watch CSI or ER can easily imagine what is going to succedere.Questo kind of way of telling points to have this response. Make the mystery hard to understand but still understandable lorendi immediately. What we do is a return to traditional ways of telling people gathering around the fire and one of them raconte a story. This is the idea of \u200b\u200b"community" for Lost
Wednesday evening in the U.S., I do not know when in Italy, you look at the program and when it is finished you must call your friend or go online and start to talk about cos 'has happened or what will happen. Why does not the program meets and divide.Penso that the public is probably lost more united us. Then we give the programma.Noi know in what direction we are going but a lot of creative ideas taken from the audience fill in many of the things which I had not come alone, is like saying "wow, it's amazing, that we would be really good." In America this idea is called the water cooler show because the next day in the office all ... (stops ... nobody has a water cooler here ... forsedovrebberlo show here call it coffee, espresso show ... because you know, people talk and says "what do you think is monster? "," what do you serve that computer? ", this kind of traditional story gives you everything. We believe that people still want to sit around the fire and wants to have their community experience around the TV. If you want to see dvd you have to wait but if you want to see him at once and with others and be part of the community you see on TV like everyone else. And our job is really expensive because we have to make that hour a week is worth seeing because you do a lot of things during the week and we have to make that time your expectations are met.
the program there are talks at the same complex but comprehensible to everyone. When you see the show you realize that it is a very nice script. It should not be easy to do a job in this sense, does it?
What is so exciting about the program is that every week we would like to create a different show, depending on which character is at stake. A lot of the episodes are completely different from each other. There is the story of Jack, one of Sawyer to Hurley. Sometimes it's like an episode comedy, sometimes romantic, sometimes very strange, in Dialogue is always the same thing. In America we call it "bringing the show in a specific forest." The characters behave in a way that people expect from them. "Locke would say that," "Jack would say this," Hurley would say that "The ... exciting thing for me is that for example when people talk about Hurley and the laughs and tells me that not only the fine performance of the actor, Jorge Garcia, but also something more. What he says is funny in the States and it's fun even here in Italy where the character is voiced. Something will surely be lost in translation, but this is because the words in English would sound wrong. Watching the show, I wrote this episode so I'm focused good dialogues and I know that when Jack says, "Why do not we cool?" I do not know how it was made in Italy but I saw that the spirit has passed and in this sense it is exciting for me to see it translated in another way still works well because it means that they are not the specific words that are important but the meaning of those words. I do not like characters who are long monologues, each scene the Lost is based on a person who speaks up at another. We've seen the show begins with Jack Hurley Jack speaking. It 's always someone to talk to Jack, in the end the difference is that they walk in the jungle that is very cinematic, but at the end of the day is simplicity in six people who speak between them, I speak with you, you with me ... mixed reports
easily.
