Damon Laurence Lindelof (born April 24, 1973) is an American television writer and executive, most recently noted as the co-creator and executive producer for the television series Lost. He has also written and produced Crossing Jordan, and wrote for Nash Bridges, Wasteland, and the MTV anthology series Undressed. Before these, he worked on reviewing scripts at Paramount, Fox, and Alan Ladd studios.
[edit] Background and educationLindelof is a native of Teaneck, New Jersey, where he attended Teaneck High School, a school whose diverse student body he credits with expanding his horizons as a writer.[1] He attended film school at New York University, performing briefly in the band "Petting Zoo", and then after graduating, moved to Los Angeles. [edit] Nicholl FellowshipAn early boost to his writing career came in 1999, when he was selected as a semifinalist for a prestigious Nicholl Fellowship for his screenplay "Perfectionists."[2] [edit] Non-Hollywood workLindelof is also the writer of the comic book miniseries Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk for Marvel Comics, which takes place in the Ultimate Marvel universe and begun publication in January 2006. Despite being a six issue miniseries, production was suspended after the second issue in February 2006 due to Lindelof's heavy workload elsewhere; however the last of the scripts were submitted to Marvel in 2008 and the series resumed publication in March 2009. [edit] InfluencesHe is a self-professed Stephen King fan and has placed many references to King's work into Lost, as well as mentioning within the Official Lost Podcast that The Stand serves as a huge influence. Lindelof has been quoted as saying that the graphic novel Watchmen, written by Alan Moore, is the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced, and its effect on Lost is evident many times in the show.[citation needed] He has however mentioned Twin Peaks as the biggest influence for Lost. It should be noted that J.J. Abrams has often cited Patrick McGoohan's similarly allegorical sci-fi/spy series The Prisoner as another major influence on Lost. [edit] LostMain article: Lost (TV series) He is currently showrunner (alongside Carlton Cuse) on Lost. He was nominated for a Writers Guild of America Award for Best Dramatic Series at the February 2009 ceremony for his work on the fourth season of Lost.[3] [edit] Other projectsHe most recently served as co-producer on Star Trek. Along with producing the sequel, he is also co-writing the screenplay with Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci. He also co-wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of the comic series Cowboys & Aliens with the duo, to be directed by Jon Favreau. It was believed that after Lost concludes in 2010, he and Carlton Cuse would write and produce a film adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, but in a recent interview that was debunked, because as they say, The Dark Tower is their favorite book, and they don't won't to mess it up by committing themselves for another 7 years after just finishing Lost.[4] In December 2008, Lindelof guest starred in an episode of The Write Environment, a direct to DVD series featuring in-depth, candid one-on-one interviews with some of TV's most prolific and well known series creator/writers.
