Lost Virtual Tour

We received word that Moscow bureau head editor from the Russian newspaper PRAVDA was in town in Honolulu, thanks to Ryan of The Tranmsission. If you don't know, Pravda is perhaps the equivalent of the New York Times in Russia, it's the biggest of the news media out there, and they sent him out for a full one week trip dedicated to Lost.



We met with the reporter "Val" on his second to last day, and for starters showed him around some filming locations at his hotel, the Hawaii Prince, and nearby. We'll post a link to his story when it's published.



Then we got in the car and he made his pitch: I want to see the bunker. The Diamondhead Bunkers that were Iraq? "No NO NO," he said, "the DHARMA bunker from Season 3". He meant the DHARMA Hydra Station, which we had earlier pegged to be the defunct US Coast Guard Omega Station in Haiku in Kaneohe. We haven't been there yet ourselves, so we took a brief look at the Google Maps satellite view, then off we went down the Likelike Hwy.



The Omega Station is along the pre-trail to the famous "Stairway To Heaven" (aka Haiku Stairs) hike. The road forked, and we guessed from our memory of the satellite view, and chose left. It was hot and steep, but eventually we found what we came for.

Word on the street is that the Lost film crews resumes filming beginning next Monday August 20.



As always, if you see filming, drop us an email.



Because of our strict no-spoiler policy we absolutely will not post or leak any information at all until after the episodes broadcast next year, so don't ask. But we will be collecting any information on locations during the broadcast hiatus to reveal in 2008 after the episode in question has actually aired.
