I don't know if this has been posted or not, but I got this from this week's TV Guide:
Finale Secret No. 1. Producers resorted to drastic measures to keep details from leaking out. For starters, actors were given only the parts of the script on which they appeared, which meant that the raft riders were the only ones to receive the highly anticipated final pages. And even they didn't get them until the night before shooting. "I was like, I don't know the lines," Perrineau remembers telling producers. "And since it's my job to know the lines, somebody might want to give me a script."
Producers were just as paranoid with one another. Whenever they discussed the cliffhanger they used a code name: "the bagel" That way you could talk about the production realities of "the bagel" or what preceded "the bagel" without revealing too much.
Finale Secret No. 2 Shooting the scenes on the raft was about as pleasant as being chased through a jungle by a man-eatuing monster. "Let's just say I would prefer to be hung from a cliff" Holloway says of the week he and the other three actors spent filiming on the Pacific. Thirteen year old Kelley got seasick, while Perrineau was routinely forced to face one of his biggest fears. "I don't swim," he says. Only Kim, an experienced diver, seems to have had a good time. "We'd sing songs between takes," he says, "it was strangely bonding."
Season 2 Secret No. 1. Will every cast member return next season? Not necessarily. After all, the cliff-hanger left many characters' fates, er, hanging. After reading the last few pages of the script, Perrineau laughingly says his reaction was "Is this so we don't renegotiate our contracts? We're all in peril. It's nuts. Just bananas." Kim, however, seems confident he'll return. "And I think Jin is going to be speaking more English," he reveals.
Season 2 Secret No. 2 Producers have been plotting the show's new episodes for months. "You have to get out ahead of it as much as possible", explains Lindelof. "If you start making it up as you go along, you're in Doomstown." By the end of April he'd already begun initiating new writers: "You bring them into a room, close the door and say, "it's time you found out what the monster is. And here's what's inside the hatch." And the scribes better have good memories. "You have to mentally download all the mythology because I don't let anybody put it in writing." Lindelof says, "I feel like once it's on a computer, it's accessible and that makes me nervous.
Season 2 Secret No. 3. Expect to see some new faces. Dr. Arzt. the high school physics teacher and resident explosives expert who first appeared in the May 11th episode will be back. And JJ Abrams hints he won't be the only actor packing his bags for a lengthy stay in Hawaii. "We'll begin to open up the world of the island a little bit." he says. "You'll be meeting a number of ohter people who survived."
Just as we thought. This is going to be one long summer.
