 		I'm just full of media-related tidbits today!

This is from the TVGuide website:

Quote:

Lost's Mystery Man Is Outed
Variety has identified the author of Hyperion Books' Bad Twin, the "novel" "penned" by ill-fated "Oceanic Flight 815 passenger" "Gary Troup," as no, not horrormeister Stephen King, but thriller writer/ghostwriter Laurence Shames. In making the reveal, Variety reports that Shames was supposed to include more series mythology and elements than he actually did, while Hyperion, despite the book's best-selling performance, may have been disappointed in a lack of on-screen mentions of Bad Twin.


I'm guessing that the PMs of this ARG are learning verrrry quickly that elements of this game not under their direct control will have a way of going wrong quickly...

EDIT: Here is a direct link to the article in Variety.

Looks like they saved the best for last.


Warning! SPOILERS await you if you do not want to see a screen shot from the Season Two finale, plus it may hint too much for some tastes as to what we have to look forward to in TLE. -- catherwood

 		The SciFi Wire has an article talking about the reveal about The Numbers in the Sri Lanka video:

Quote:

Lost Secrets Revealed Online

Fans of ABC's hit SF series Lost who played this summer's alternate-reality game The Lost Experience got a big payoff if they stuck with it: the secret to Hurley's numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42) and revelations about the Dharma Initiative and the Hanso Foundation. The answers, which were reported by TV Guide, can be found in a video detailing the elaborate backstory to the show, which has been posted in its entirety on YouTube.com.

The numbers represent the Valenzetti Equation, a mathematical formula having to do with the timetable for humanity's extinction. The show's sinister Dharma Initiative was an effort by the mysterious Hanso Foundation to ward off that inevitability. When Dharma failed, Hanso's nefarious acting leader, Thomas Mittelwerk, set in motion a plan to release a virus that would kill 30 percent of the world's population.

Details of the game's various threads can be found on the Lost Experience blog.

THE LOST EXPERIENCE COMES TO A CLOSE SEPTEMBER 24

GLOBAL INTERACTIVE PHENOMENON "THE LOST EXPERIENCE" COMES TO A CLOSE WITH FINAL LIVE WORLDWIDE INTERNET RADIO BROADCAST HOSTED BY DJ DAN

Live Broadcast Features Special In-Studio Guest Sunday, September 24, 8:00 p.m., PT

The multiplatform interactive phenomenon "The Lost Experience" will come to a climactic close on SEPTEMBER 24 (8:00 p.m., PT, 5:00 p.m., ET), with a live worldwide radio internet broadcast hosted by the renegade DJ Dan. The broadcast will also feature a special in-studio guest and announce a link for the final video clue revealing the truth behind the actions of the Hanso Foundation.

About "The Lost Experience"
"The Lost Experience" is a revolutionary interactive marketing endeavor based on the international hit television series, "Lost," designed to further enhance viewers' relationship with the program. "The Lost Experience" incorporates over twenty broadcasters from five continents, making it the largest global interactive challenge based on a television series. This experience follows a parallel storyline not featured in the television broadcast, and the challenge is specifically designed in a manner that is not dependent on information specific to either Season One or Season Two, allowing for the participation of those who have not yet seen either season of "Lost". "The Lost Experience" provides insight to unlock some of the island's secrets for those savvy enough to collect the clues, make the connections and find the answers.

About "Lost"
After Oceanic Air flight 815 tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island, its survivors were forced to find inner strength they never knew they had in order to survive. But they discovered that the island holds many secrets, including a mysterious smoke monster, polar bears, a strange French woman and another group of island residents known as "The Others." The survivors have also found signs of those who came to the island before them, including a 19th-century sailing ship, The Black Rock, the remains of an ancient statue and bunkers belonging to the Dharma Initiative, a group of scientific researchers.

"Lost" stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Mr. Eko, Naveen Andrews as Sayid, Henry Ian Cusick as Desmond, Emilie de Ravin as Claire, Michael Emerson as Henry Gale, Matthew Fox as Jack, Jorge Garcia as Hurley, Josh Holloway as Sawyer, Daniel Dae Kim as Jin, Yunjin Kim as Sun, Evangeline Lilly as Kate, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet, Dominic Monaghan as Charlie and Terry O'Quinn as Locke.

"Lost" was created by Jeffrey Lieber and J.J. Abrams & Damon Lindelof. Abrams, Lindelof, Bryan Burk, Jack Bender, Jeff Pinkner and Carlton Cuse serve as executive producers. "Lost," which is filmed entirely on location in Hawaii and premiered on September 22, 2004, is from Touchstone Television.
