Abrams’ “Lost” had an almost completely different cast
Scenario
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island. J.J. See which celebrities 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
Originally, Sawyer’s character was meant to be an older, dapper, suit-wearing street artist from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in the audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge it gave Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a darker southern drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The eerie opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea you can’t even marry someone with the same last name except in rare circumstances… [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, bro. Abrams on his black and white laptop as an homage to The Twilight Zone.
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
LOST transcended TV drama writing and encapsulated the theme when it burst onto the scene in 2004. It’s been 14 years and the show still holds up. Serious.
Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid and yes, even Benjamin Linus’ story line was done in a way few have done since
My then 16 year old son said it was the best written show of the time, and now, being 30 and a writer, he maintains that commitment to this day – all other shows still stand in LOST’s shadow.
