Where is J.J. Abrams?

LOST’s co-creator J.J Abrams, who is also the man behind Alias, has been hard at work on the movie “Mission: Impossible III” starring Tom Cruise. But according to Sci Fi Wire, J.J says that since the movie is now nearing completion, he wants to be more involved in LOST next season.

Executive producers and writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have been running the show this season, says Abrams.

They have a very clear picture of this year and the beginning of the next. My dream would be to be able to go back and … definitely direct an episode and at the very least … be more involved than this year, which was incredibly peripherally because of the movie. So. People come to me and say, Oh, my God, I love Lost this season, and I’m always flattered. … I always have to say, ‘I wish I could tell you that I had much more to do with it than I do, you know, this year.

As for the rumors about Ana-Lucia getting killed off, this is what J.J has to say.

“While we don’t want to report on the fate of any of the characters in
the show, I would say without question that any reports that anything
that’s going on with any of the actors as being problematic or
certainly resulting in changing the storyline to sort of you know get
rid of them is just erroneous and silliness.”
