Verizon Wireless Finds 'Lost' Content

The Walt Disney Co. is venturing into more experimental territory with ABC's hit drama "Lost," sealing a deal with telco giant Verizon for a series of shortform "Lost" episodes revolving around some of the other poor souls who happened to be on Oceanic Flight 815.

"Lost" scribes Dawn Kelly and Matt Ragghianti are penning the two-minute installments, while "Lost" producer Javier Grillo Marxauch will serve as an executive consultant on the project.
