Lost’s producers tease fans at ComicCon fest

After five years, 48 awards and 147 nominations, ‘Lost’ is finally reaching its end. And a lucky few of the millions of viewers it has held in its spell got to hear news of the ending from the makers themselves.

Over the weekend at the ComicCon convention in San Diego, some of the show’s more geek-friendly fans heard producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, plus a few of the cast drop subtle hints on what’s coming next.

“There’s a good chance you’ll be seeing many characters you haven’t seen since season one,” said Lindelof. Among them would appear to be Juliet Burke and Daniel Faraday, plus several others the producers won’t name.

And that’s not all the producers seem to have up their sleeves, “In the first season, characters were running around and there was the emotional discovery about them,” said Cuse. “We have a way to do that again in the final season.” he explained to the fans during a well-produced presentation on the popular show.

The final season will also feature a new form of narrative to keep fans up to date with the drama. “But folks shouldn’t think this will invalidate everything that’s already happened,” said Jorge Garcia, who plays Hugo. “That would be a really big cheat.”

Audience members – some of whom had camped-out on the street for 24-hours just for this chance – were eager to know what to expect from the show’s final swansong, but the suits were not saying; “The time-travel is over, the flash-forward is over,” Lindelof said. “We’re going to do something different. And everything that matters, we’re gonna answer.”

ABC says that ‘Lost’s final season will bow ‘early in 2010,’ If you’re a big fan, you might need to make time…
