Carlton Cuse says a revisit is “inevitable”

Remember how frustrated everyone was when the finale of “Lost” finally aired and so many questions were left unanswered? It's been ten years since we've had to swallow our frustrations and make up scenarios in our heads, trying to explain some of the weird stuff that happened on that TV show. Now, there's talk of a revisit.

The news doesn't come from an industry insider who would rather stay anonymous than risk his job, it comes straight from the source, from Carlton Cuse, the executive producer of “Lost” and the person who also co-wrote the series.

Cuse predicts that the popular franchise is going to get remade by the network, just not by him

In an interview with Digital Spy, Cuse addresses all the rumors and the legacy of the show that changed television as we know it today and opened up new possibilities in terms of cinematography and great story-telling. But don't get too excited, Cuse is referring to other writers that would love to tackle the project, not himself.

Based on the huge success of the series, in his mind, it's impossible that the franchise won't get revisited at some point in time, maybe from a different perspective. “Disney owns the franchise, it made them a lot of money, it's hard to imagine it will just sit there idly forever,” Cuse points out and it's hard to contradict him.

But fans were hoping for a continuation with the original actors and the same producers, telling the same story, hoping to get more information about the back story and hopefully answer some more questions without adding new ones to the equation.

It was rumored for a while that on the show's 10-year anniversary, there would be a revisit and something like a special episode. Cuse shot that rumor down.

The producer thinks that other writers will come in and give the story a different spin

“Damon (Lindelof) and I told our story in that world and I assume someone will come along, hopefully having been inspired by our story, or our version of the story, and want to tell their own story,” he said without hesitation.

His conclusion seems very possible at this point, though not very desirable, “Someone is going to come up with a way to tell another Lost story. I think it's inevitable. I don't know what it is or how it would work, but I can't imagine something else won't be done with the franchise.”

“Lost” ran on ABC for six years, between 2004 and 2010 and it made superstars out of some of the actors in the cast, people like Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lily and Josh Holloway.
