\"Lost<\/a><\/p>\n

The New York Times is running an article that discusses the merchandising and business behind ‘Lost’<\/a>, which is a lot larger than I had imagined.<\/p>\n

The article talks about the many products that have been created for the show. I thought it was interesting that some of the books by other authors were books that which Lindelof didn’t like very much. ABC merchandising commissioned them. So, they created Bad Twin<\/a> the book we saw Sawyer reading last year, and put hints about what was going on in the show in there.<\/p>\n

There’s Lost – The Game<\/a>, Lost T-shirts, trading cards, Lost figurines (created by Todd McFarlane), Lost puzzles<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned<\/a>, they’re writing 13 Webisodes for Lost, and the article talks a bit about the other shows (CSI, 24, The Office) that are doing, or wanting to do the same thing. <\/p>\n

Well worth reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
