Brett Cullen’s ‘LOST’ Costume Part of Auction

There is a huge auction of ABC’s LOST merchandise and costumes going on from Season 2.

Crooked Lane alum Brett played Goodwin on the hit TV show. We thought you’d get a kick out of being able to buy a shirt soaked in authentic “Brett Sweat” if you’re a fan.

We’ve highlighted the Goodwin items and auction cover for you below.

Catching Up With Brett Cullen

Brett Cullen, who played Ben in Crooked Lane, has been a busy guy since the film wrapped.

He just finished shooting Monte Carlo for 20th Century Fox with Andi MacDowell, Selena Gomez and Leighton Meester.  It’s about three young women vacationing in Paris who find themselves whisked away to Monte Carlo after one of the girls is mistaken for a British heiress.

He’s currently shooting The Gates, which is a new summer TV series for ABC

He also filmed Puncture in Houston with Chris Evans. It’s a David and Goliath law drama about a drug-addicted lawyer who takes on a health supply corporation while battling his own personal demons.

And of course he has the remake of Red Dawn coming out in November for United Artists. A group of teenagers look to save their town from an invasion of Chinese and Russian soldiers.

We were hoping he’d weigh in on the last episode of Lost (Brett played Goodwin in the Lost television series), but unfortunately, mum’s the word for the past and current cast and crew on how things all get wrapped up!

Facebook Updates

Just a note that Chase Bailey, writer and director of Crooked Lane, often updates the Facebook pages for Crooked Lane and Left Bank Films directly.

He uses his iPhone so he can keep in touch with you even when he is on the go. For example, he is currently in Paris, but has been sharing news with folks while away.

If you don’t want to miss a moment of news from Chase, I highly recommend Liking the Facebook pages for Crooked Lane and Left Bank Films.

That gives you access to Chase, Leslie, Amy, Kit, Thomas and more. Enjoy!

I’m on pins and needles to actually see the final cut! Meanwhile, here is the official description and a link to the trailer on Facebook for your enjoyment:
