I could be found, dancing around, a merry-go-round...

There is this very cool Channel 4 (the Brit affiliate that has the UK distribution rights for Lost) promo that's making the rounds in the "Lost" netdom (first saw this at TWOP). Some of the Brits on my FL may have already seen it either on tv or the movies (it's mixed amongst the trailers before War of the Worlds apparently).

I'm not sure how well this represents the show (seems a little too Carnivale. Not that that's a bad thing, but the show isn't really Carnivale), but it is a beautiful promo. Something us rube Americans will probably never see on ABC (maybe the DVD extras). Very surreal and macabre, even if it's slightly misrepresentative. I didn't think ABC had it in them, at least not so long after the days of Twin Peaks.


(Hit "Play Ad")

Although the promo mentions a "cop". Cop? Who's the cop? Mars maybe (US Marshal = Cop?)?

I tried to watch itvia the link but I couldn't because I'm hopeless, but will keep an eye out on the telly, and at the flicks. I shouldn;t be guessing at this until I've actually seen it, but maybe Channel 4 were responsible for the promo - they have dones some promos for themselves although they're not for specific shows, but it does get behind its American imports - and it might be because of percieved popularity of the actors, or something as simple as the schedules for filming that day?

If it was a technical issue, there's another version here (http://www.lost-island.net/videos_trailers.php) (wmv format) you could try.

That's possible. Based on the length of hair and Shannon/Sayid coupled, I'd guess it was probably filmed midseason or so. It may have also been a midseason promo rejected by ABC, but used for the European market instead.
