Various internet and newspaper sites, including Monsters and Critics, are reporting that the TV series "Lost" might be headed to a projection booth.
According to the rumours, an uber-pricey film version of the hit series – currently one of the top-rating series on the Idiot Box – will likely happen at the end of the second series, or end of the third – depending on when ratings start to drop off.
The report states that three rival Hollywood studios are currently fighting to secure the rights to the movie, in a deal which would make the show’s biggest stars at least $3.6 million million.
A series insider says, "The last thing producers want is a mutiny. Now they’ve hit a sure-fire way of hitting the big bucks. Three studios have said they are keen to make a Lost blockbuster. The show is seen in more than 70 countries, so it’s guaranteed box-office success. Whoever puts in the best bid will get the prize".
The scooper adds, "Now the actors have been told about a film deal they’re overjoyed. There are lots of ideas about how the story could end but it’s thought that who ever is left will be found."
As the IMDB states though, "Lost" is owned by Disney’s Touchstone so the house-of-Mouse would be making the film – if there were one. Kinda debunks the news automatically, yeah?
