Matthew Fox & Evangeline Lilly Cover Entertainment Weekly
Posted by taylor blue on February 11, 2009 | No Comments
I was so excited when my Entertainment Weekly came in the mail! Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly are on the cover. I have been looking forward to the new season to start already, but I am having a hard time not getting lost with all the time shifting they are doing. This won’t deter me though because I can’t abandon a show I have seen every episode of since the beginning.
Here are some highlights from the interview in the magazine:
Evangeline Lilly on the whole Jack VS Sawyer love interest: ”What I’ve noticed is that the audience tends to root for the coupling that gets the most screen time — and right now, what they’re seeing is Kate and Jack.”
Matthew Fox on love affairs-with ratings: ”That’s someone going, ‘People love romance, so just turn the buttons and dial it up,”’ complains Fox. ”Look, I understand that. But it has to be f—ing credible. Our world doesn’t lend itself to conventional romance. Yearning? Yes. Desire? Yes. Passion? Yes. And when those things play out in the context of survival s— that’s gotta get done, where people’s lives are f—ing at stake — that’s cool. But romance? I haven’t always bought it for Jack and Kate, and I haven’t always bought it for Kate and Sawyer. The show’s too intense for that.”
Matthew on Jack’s pull to the island: ”I’ve always believed part of what was destroying him was his lack of physical proximity to the Island,” says Fox. ”He is fated to do something on the Island, and he has fought that with every fiber of his body, and in doing that, the Island is destroying him from afar. When he finds himself back in this place, he’s wide-eyed and alert. He knows he’s in the path of his own destiny.”
Matthew on this season’s new twists: ”It feels very different from what Lost has felt like in the past, but in a really good way,” says the actor, sporting neatly parted hair and some dangling iPod earbuds. ”There will be many, many answers, lots of things from past seasons that left the audience thinking, ‘That’s never going to pay off’ — but it does, in really cool ways that make you go ‘Holy s—!’ The season has a real feeling of things coming together, and it builds a groundswell of momentum for the end of the show.”
