Oceanic 815

Maybe I revere LOST with a special fondness that most fans & viewers have shed over the past 5 seasons, maybe I'm in love with JJ Abram's brilliant mind.... Or maybe I just wish I was stranded on a tropical island with a bunch of shirtless Jack and Piggys with dreams of white rabbits and many other classic literature references....

BUT I AM SUPER EXCITED FOR THE LOST PREMIERE ON FEBRUARY 2ND!!!!! And on top of it.... I cannot figure out if the PR kids over at LOST have been promoting on Craigslist in the Missed Connection section.... or if this is just a game that other LOST shmucks like myself have been playing on the forum.... Take a look....

sleepwriting, dreamweaving

Right now I sleep for reasons I cannot say.
My dreams may answer
But won’t reveal, the sticky substance on my heel
I’ve done this before,
I’ve fallen apart, but not without breaking your heart

this too can help..

Saturn turns retrograde in Libra, heightening your fears that a situation you face is completely unfair. Unfortunately, you may be right. But don't despair, Bull, cosmic aspects foretell a shift in the situation within a few short days.

Tobey Maguire, Sam Raimi out of 'Spider-Man'

Sony to reboot franchise with high school story
By TATIANA SIEGEL

Columbia Pictures has pulled the plug on "Spider Man 4" and will instead make a younger, cheaper installment of the superhero franchise.
Star Tobey Maguire and helmer Sam Raimi, who were both set for big paydays for "Spider Man 4," will no longer be involved in the franchise as Col moves forward with a high school-aged Peter Parker pic, which will bow theatrically in summer 2012.

Last week, Columbia confirmed that "Spider Man 4," which was scheduled to begin lensing in February and be released in 2011, was on hold indefinitely due to script problems. Columbia needs to continue actively developing "Spider Man" films or else the property will revert back to Disney/Marvel.

The studio has long prepared for the contingency of "Spider Man 4" falling apart and already has a James Vanderbilt-penned script about a teenage Peter Parker ready to shoot. That film, which has no director or star attached, is now in preproduction. The new version will likely cost far less than a "Spider Man 4" given that Columbia, which has a mandate not to give away more than 25% of the gross, won't be paying the high salaries or gross points to returning talent.

The new untitled Spider Man film will center on the webslinging teen as he grapples with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises. Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin are producing.

Studio co-chairman Amy Pascal said Col has "a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise." She added, "We're very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots."

Raimi, who disagreed with the studio about the direction "Spider Man 4" should move, has expressed no hard feelings. "While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job," he said.

The studio plans to hire a new helmer and a star in the coming weeks.

'Law & Order' set in Los Angeles may hit NBC soon

So who is going to star in this one? Kristin Chenoweth? And maybe we can revive Lindsay Lohan's career... (Sidenote: I would secretly love it if Kristin Chenoweth was cast...)

'Law & Order' set in Los Angeles may hit NBC soon

A Los Angeles-based version of “Law & Order” could air on NBC next season, network officials said Sunday.

NBC and Universal Media Studios Primetime Entertainment President Angela Bromstad said she asked “Law & Order” creator and executive producer Dick Wolf if he would consider producing a Los Angeles version of the series that mixes the investigation of a crime and its prosecution.

“We’re talking about developing that,” Bromstad said during NBC’s portion of the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour in Pasadena.

Wolf “affectionately” calls the project “NOLA,” said Jeff Gaspin, NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman.

Bromstad said it was “highly possible” that “Law & Order” would be renewed for a record 21st season. “Law & Order” and the 1955-75 CBS Western “Gunsmoke” share the record as prime-time television’s longest-running drama at 20 seasons.

NBC also announced some of its pilot plans for the 2010-11 season, including a remake of the 1974-80 detective drama “The Rockford Files” and an adaptation of the BBC series “Prime Suspect.”

NBC’s other pilots include “Undercovers,” about husband-and-wife spies co-written by “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams; “Chase,” an action-procedural drama produced by “CSI” producer Jerry Bruckheimer; “Kindreds,” about an unconventional law practice, written by David E. Kelley, whose credits include “Boston Legal,” “The Practice” and “L.A. Law”; the romantic comedy “Love Bites” and a comedy featuring radio personality Adam Carolla.

NBC is scheduled to announce its 2010-11 programming plans May 17.
