Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast
Plot
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name
Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, smooth, suit-wearing city slicker from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and then kicked his chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge of Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a southern, darker drifter. Jin and Sun are married, and their last name is “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The strange opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea, it’s not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases.. [repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother.. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone.
Edited in the post Lost: The Journey (2005)
LOST went beyond TV drama writing and encapsulated the theory of motives when it hit the stage in 2004. That’s 14 glorious years ago, and the show is still going strong. Seriously.
Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid, and yes, even Benjamin Linus’ story was crafted in a way few have since
My then 16-year-old son said it was the best-written show of its time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer himself, he maintains that commitment to this day: all other shows follow in LOST’s shadow.
