Matthewfox Interview On RTE Teletx

idlesupernova

GO to page 300 it will show which page to go to. I might be wrong so correct me on this but he said Jack on the Island waiting to be rescued and Sucidal Jack in the real world is a year and a half difference.

Also he said the answer to why he is suicidal, why he wants to go back and who was in the coffin will be answered in this season. He talked about Good or Bad Jack coming down the line but didn;t give much away

That was from a quick read, Hope I got it right! Have migrane so trying to remember 100% and type this out is torture!!!

Whoops.. here's the source of the interview summarised in the Aertel interview and below is the specific piece with Matthew Fox being interviewed - the section bold being regarding 'Lost':

Matthew Fox is also entering his first big franchise this summer, playing Racer X in the highly-anticipated return of the Wachowskis doing Speed Racer, another cartoon-related movie. "I'm very excited about the movie," Fox said in his usual deadpan way, trying hard not to gush too much. "I've seen certain sections of the film, and it's going to be amazing. My little boy asks me every single day when the movie is coming out. The experience of making it with the Wachowskis and the entire cast was extraordinary. The whole process that they're doing is very different. The way that the images are layered in, the way things are even shot. Most of the time you'd end up doing a scene and the actors would be removed from it so you'd be doing it by yourself then images are compressed. Just the experience of discovering what this world is that they are building and trying to find a way into that world as this masked vigilante was really fun. It's amazing, the whole thing, and it was an absolutely amazing summer."

With the Toy Fair in town, Fox made sure to stop by Mattel to check out his second action figure (his first is of Jack Shephard from "Lost" of course) and he told us that he didn't hesitate when he signed on for more than one movie. "I would hope to do more. I would love to do more of that world and work with everyone involved in that project. I'm very excited by the prospect of that but it's just going to be one at a time obviously, but I didn't think twice (about signing for more)."

Otherwise, he's been meeting with directors, but any future film projects will rely on the scheduling for "Lost" which has been drastically altered by the writers strike. "I'm going back to shoot 'Lost' this spring. We probably won't get all of the 8 we owe, but I'm sure we'll get five or six of them."

Considering that they set a very specific plan of doing 16 episodes starting every January for the next three years, it's still unclear whether those episodes would come out this season or over the summer or in the fall. "I know those discussions are going on right now, lot of phone calls flying around, I'm sure, trying to figure out how they're going to do that," Fox told us. (Note: There are some potential spoilers for "Lost" Season 3 and the last few episodes of Season 4 and maybe even beyond, so for those who have been living under a rock and/or waiting for DVD or who just don't want to know, you may want to skip the next five paragraphs.)

Fox is one of the few people who knows everything about what happens to Jack between leaving the island and the flash-forward at the end of Season 3, but whether or not Jack will end up being the hero or something different, he's keeping mum. "I think the idea of hero or good guy, bad guy is sort of an antiquated notion in a lot of respects. I think it's more interesting to accept the complexity of all of us and hope that he makes heroic choices in very difficult circumstances. I really feel like 'Lost' and what I'm getting to do on that show is pretty complex, and it's evolving as well. (Jack) sort of started as this idea. Everybody wanted him to be this heroic guy, and actually, he's really flawed and the island is stripping away this deep compassion in him and bringing out a much darker side, so there's an evolution that's happening in the character that's always been important to Damon and myself."

And how is he feeling about the current season? When we last spoke to Fox, just after the start of Season 3, he was getting into the idea of working with new actors in more intimate settings as Jack dealt with Ben and the Others as the season began, but Season 4 is back to the big ensemble cast all together again for the first time in a while. "I think the story dictated that," he told us when asked if that was a decision mandated by what the fans wanted. "I don't think that was a reaction to people wanting… the season ended with Jack Shepard feeling that he contacted the rescue boat and rescue was on the way in juxtaposition with this future in which he's suicidal and desperate to get back. I feel like the story really did have to kick off where it was and with the entire group and the question of whether they're actually rescuing them or if there's some sinister threat behind the whole thing. It made sense to me."

"I think the fourth season will close those two moments of time of Jack in the future and Jack feeling like he's being rescued," he continued. "The season will be about answering all those questions of who got off with him? Who's in the casket? Why does he want to go back, this guy of all people? Why is he suicidal and desperate to go back?"

Fox did let slip one big 'ol hint about the timeframe of everything we've seen so far when asked an innocent question about how much time has passed on the island since the plane crash. "If you're going to talk about from Jack in the plane crash to Jack in the future, that's about a year and a half, and Jack on the island now would be about 120 days." This would mean that if Jack gets off the island at the end of Season 4, he'll have a whole year in civilization to flash back to if and when he returns to the island (presumably at the start of Season 5.) Interesting.
