Jack Ryan Gets a “Lost” Director

It was announced sometime ago that Chris Pine, aka Captain Kirk version 2, was going to play Tom Clancy‘s famous CIA analyst Jack Ryan. I felt that this was a definite step in the right direction especially after the colossal creative failure that was The Sum of All Fears. Although the lead actor was locked, Paramount had not yet found a director to tackle the fifth installment until now. According to Vulture, Jack Bender is the front runner for the position and I happen to think this is a fantastic choice.

Lostadoodle: The End

Lost Week | Favorite Moments

The most epic TV series ever has inspired the most epic post I’ve ever put together. I couldn’t think of a better way to show my appreciation for Lost than to showcase some of my favorite moment’s from the series. Now, most of these aren’t the typical “shocking” Lost cliffhangers. They are the scenes that I’ve kept coming back to over the years because they feature the characters I’ve come to love in their most emotional and relieving moments. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
