J.J. Abrams: “I’d Love to Direct Another Episode of LOST”


Thanks to Tara for the heads up.



How is Lost going to make sense of all these timelines they’ve started and perhaps altered?


Abrams: Every Lost question should be directed to Damon Lindelof, and I’ll give you his home number later. He said any hours you can call him. I don’t know what that means.


Could you come back to direct an episode of Lost?


Abrams: I’d love to direct another episode. It would be fun. You have to ask Damon, same thing.


Is there room in your schedule to do another show when you’re already stretched so thin with movies?


Abrams: Well, sadly, I’m working on a couple things right now that will test your theory, but the fact is that I’m working with some people like Jeff Pinkner and Joel Wyman, who are running Fringe, though it’s not quite the same thing as when I did Lost with Damon Lindelof. He really has run that show since the first year.


My involvement with Fringe, though, much more so than Lost, is, generally speaking, becoming less and less critical, because Jeff and Joel are there every day, and they’re really running. So when I wrote the first episode and am involved in this season, they’re doing an amazing job, which helps free up time to work on other things. I am incredibly ADD in that way.
