So much to tell folks!

Lost is everywhere these days!

"It was such a great character piece for Jin. Daniel's performance was fantastic. I don't think it's our flashiest episode. There are episodes that have more incidents in them, but it was so emotional and was so much a closure for me, because I wrote the first episode ['House of the Rising Sun'] about Jin and Sun."

Daniel and Harold Perrineau

At the event, a flash interview at Popgurls.com got the following responses from Daniel:

POPGURLS: If you were on a deserted island, which character from Lost would you want to be stranded with and why?
Maybe Locke – he knows what it takes to survive.

POPGURLS: What one album would you want with you?
Wow, that's a huge one. That's a HUGE question. Lloyd Cole and the Commotions – Mainstream.

POPGURLS: Someone has walked up to you and handed over your most beloved childhood toy. What is it?
The VertiBird. [It] was a helicopter that would fly up and it was attached to a cable and it would fly around in a circle and you would control the speed and height. It had a little hook that you could pick up little toys with.

In a recent interview for Ain't It Cool News, Daniel gave more details about the Leonard Chang novel he recently optioned:

AICN: Can you tell me about “Over the Shoulder”?
DDK: It’s an incredible book by Leonard Chang, a Korean American from the Bay Area. It’s a noir thriller…a suspense novel that happens to have a Korean American as the protagonist. One of the things I love about the book is that it’s not just about being Asian American. It’s first and foremost a crime mystery, a genre that already has widespread appeal, but it also manages to wrap issues of identity and family history into the plot. It appealed to me on a lot of levels. We’re working on finishing the screenplay right now.

AICN: Will you be playing the lead role?
DDK: That depends on how long it takes [laughs]. The character is in his mid-thirties. If it takes more than a few years to make and I get too old to do the part, I’d be happy to sit back and produce it. This is a story I’d like to see on screen, regardless of whether I play the character.

USA Today has published the first official news about the Lost DVD set! It will be released September 6th at probably $60 for a 6 DVD set. Extras are to include the original pilot, deleted scenes, casting tapes, bloopers, behind-the-scenes footage, audio commentaries, roundtable discussions with cast and crew, and a Matthew Fox photography featurette -- supposedly five hours of extras! How's that all going to fit onto 6 discs? Thanks to TVshowsonDVD for this news!

Update - 09/26/04

"Recently [Daniel Dae Kim] optioned the rights to the Leonard Chang novel, "Over the Shoulder," a noir thriller about a man who investigates the murder of a friend and, in the process, discovers many secrets about his family and their past. The project is currently in development to become an independent feature."
Sounds like Daniel is branching out!

"Lost is about survivors of a plane crash stranded on a deserted island, so naturally, at the premiere, the Gilligan's Island jokes were running wild. Castmember Daniel Dae Kim (Angel, 24), God bless his silly soul, said he's working on his "coconut bike." He also suggested I wash ashore as a guest star and fashion a microphone out of bamboo."

At long last, Crusade is coming out on DVD! The following is from TVTome.com:

Crusade - B5 spinoff is slated
In 2267 the Earth is quarantined, having been infected with a deadly plague by an attacking alien force. Scientists estimate that it will kill every inhabitant within 5 years, not nearly enough time for a cure to be developed. So the planet's only hope lies with the Excalibur, an advanced prototype starship sent out to search ancient alien ruins for their former inhabitant's secrets, hoping that somewhere out there a cure can be found.
Warner Bros Home Video has announced that the Babylon 5 spinoff, Crusade will hit DVD on December 7. The series stars Peter Woodward, Gary Cole, Marjean Holden, Tracy Scoggins, Daniel Dae Kim, David Allen Brooks and Carrie Dobro. This 13 episode series (576 mins) will be released in a 4 disc set, and carries a suggested price of $59.98 US. It'll contain an English Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track, along with English, French and Spanish subtitles. The video will be presented in the original aspect ratio: 1.33:1. We have little information on the special features, just that there will be audio commentaries and a documentary.

To those folks who are worried about my role in "Lost," please tell them not to be. What I do in the first episode is definitely not the whole story. Things are not necessarily what they seem on the island.... -- Daniel

For those at Comic-Con in San Diego next weekend -- On Saturday, July 24th, there will be a sneak peak at the Lost pilot and then an interview and Q&A session with Lost actors, producers & writers. Unlikely that Daniel will be there, though, since I think he's still in Romania filming Cave.

ABC has released the first cast and promo pics for Lost and they are on the new Lost Image Gallery page. ABC is also already running promo ads for the series during various time slots, so looks like they are fully behind it.

Update - 05/21/04

Lost has been officially picked up! ABC announced it Fall lineup and Lost has been slated for at least 13 episodes.

Here is the full rulldown --
"Lost" (one-hour drama, Wednesday, 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) -- Out of the blackness the first thing Jack senses is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks in: people need his help.

Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner strength they never knew they had—like Kate who, with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds. The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain. But the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.

From J.J. Abrams, the creator of "Alias," comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very best and the very worst in the people who are lost.

According to an article in today's Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
"Producers of ABC's "Lost" pilot episode, which filmed here last month, will learn next week whether the series has been green lit to start filming this summer. One good sign, perhaps, is that its production office remains up and running at the Ilikai Hotel. In the meantime, the L-1011 airplane wreckage used as the show's main set at a Mokuleia beach and in Heeia has been removed and stored."
Full article.
There was also a recent tv piece on TheHawaiiChannel about the upcoming TV shows filming in Hawaii, and their main focus is on Lost. It shows an actual scene being shot, though I didn't see DDK in it.

Description from creator J.J Abrams:
"It's about survivors of a plane crash who manage to get themselves on a deserted island with a lot of freaky stuff going on, animals they've never seen before. It's how they survive in that situation." Many bizarre circumstances will be revolving around these survivors as they adjust to new life, and yet try to find a way home."

Lots of news from Daniel!

Update - 09/14/03

From The Zolcalo Today Newsletter:
"In a recent Dreamwatch interview, Daniel talked about his work on the series. "So far, I've interacted with a lot with 'Hoshi', Linda Park's character, and 'Trip', Connor Trinneer's character, and Scott Bakula ['Archer'], of course. We have a scene with [Dominic Keating's] 'Reed' in the episode we're shooting now. I think we'll be interacting with everybody." When asked about what he'd be doing on-screen, Kim said, "I don't think I'm allowed to go into specifics, but lots of rifles and guns ­ all sorts of neat toys." Daniel has kept busy since his role as John Matheson on CRUSADE ended. He has had recurring roles on ANGEL and 24. So far, his presence has been confirmed for the first and third episodes of Enterprise season three."

The release date will be August 26th.

03/01/05
A release date has been set for Cave (that seems to be the final title) of August 19th. There is a trailer up at http://www.apple.com/trailers/sony_pictures/the_cave/. Daniel can be spotted a couple of times.

07/08/04
A first review of sorts has been published at Box Office Prophets. The site lists the release date as March 11, 2005.
04/09/04
After Hawaii, Daniel's heading to Romania for 3 months to shoot a movie to be called Cave or Primevil or Prime Evil (they haven't decided but IMDB calls it Prime Evil). Daniel describes it as sort of Alien underwater, with a team of divers discovering a new eco-system where they are definitely not the top of the food chain. Daniel's character is a documentary filmmaker with the divers. Some of the rest of the cast are Cole Hauser (2 Fast 2 Furious), Morris Chestnut, Eddie Cibrian (Third Watch, The Street Lawyer), and Piper Perabo (Cheaper by the Dozen, Coyote Ugly). More info at IMDB.

News bits regarding The Untitled Onion Movie:

04/09/04
The longtime writers/editors at "America's Finest News Source" have written THE UNTITLED ONION MOVIE, a series of sketches that encompasses the sharp, uncensored comic tone of The Onion and sheds light on the various hypocrisies of the world today. 12/12/03
In the next month, Daniel will be shooting a role in "The Untitled Onion Movie", a pseudo-documentary based on the fake newspaper, The Onion.

Older but still relevant news: June 2003: Daniel was not actually in aired verson of the 24 season 2 finale. When they found out 24 was renewed for the next season, they needed to put some next season setup scenes and Agent Baker's scenes were lost. The cut scenes are available on the DVD release.

June 2003: Daniel is no longer in Starsky and Hutch. His character was "rethought" just before filming started.

November 2002: The final tally for Jade Magazine's Sexiest Asian American Male has declared Daniel the First Runner Up, second only to Apolo Anton Ohno (?). The way the poll was conducted allowed for easy ballot-box stuffing, the only possible reason why Daniel didn't make #1 ... ;)

September 2002: The Inkworks Angel Season 3 Trading Cards are now available. The Gavin Park autographed card looks sharp. There is also an unautographed Gavin Park Character card and many Wolfram&Hart and episode cards that refer to him. The cards I have so far are in the Image Gallery.

May 2002: Daniel has a new manager - Tamara Rothenberg of Lighthouse Entertainment. Some others represented by Lighthouse include David Arquette and Julia Stiles. This will now be the place to send mail to Daniel (see below). His agent is still Silver Massetti.

January 2002: A film website lists Daniel as starring in an upcoming independant film called "Treading Water". Daniel has confirmed that he has talked with the filmmaker. However, this film and Daniel's part in it should still be considered in the realm of speculation, considering that the main character has yet to be cast and many other such details are still be be worked out.

August 2001: Daniel sent a warm thank you to all his fans that mailed him postcards for his birthday - you know who you are!

July 2001: Daniel spent a month at Sundance Studio, where he worked on a couple of projects. Completed films may or may not come out of it.

June 2001: Daniel indeed was at AgememCon in June! Pictures are in the Image Gallery.
