And indeed I will be very “lost” without Charlie on the show. Watching the “Greatest Hits” episode gave us a sort of closure as well as a bigger glimpse into Charlie’s life. But, there was a part of me that kept thinking he wasn’t really going to die. Even up till the very last second, eventhough I had already read about Dominic’s release from the show, I still had hope. Call me an optimist! I just didn’t want to let go.
Dominic Monaghan might have said good-bye to Charlie, but he has plans for the future. He’s starring in the new horror flick I Sell The Dead, which is set to release later this year. In the movie Dominic plays a grave robber named Arthur Blake who, well, here’s the rundown direct from the movie website:
Body Snatchers Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes have pillaged their last grave. With just five hours before Arthur follows Willie to the chopping block, he recounts his life story to Fr Francis Duffy. It soon becomes clear that Blake and Grimes were no ordinary grave robbers. And through his stories the priest learns that not all corpses are equal.
I Sell The Dead is a kaleidoscope of terror that will leave you questioning life, death and what lies between.
I Sell The Dead also stars one of my all time favorite actors, the legendary Ron Perlman who plays Fr. Francis Duffy.
The TV Guide interview from May 2007 gives a little more insight as to why Lost is saying good-bye to Charlie. Dominic also says that he is looking into the possibility of hosting a nature show, and maybe working with Peter Jackson on some upcoming projects.
I was first taken with Dominic when he had furry feet and trekked across Middle Earth, I dug Charlie the bad-boy on Lost, and I’m sure I will be into whatever Dominic does next.
But… what will Claire and Aaron do without Charlie?
167 days until Lost season 4 premier!
