Lionsgate Home Entertainment has announced that the long-delayed and highly anticipated followup to Neil Marshall’s ‘The Descent’ won’t be getting a U.S. theatrical release. Instead, the studio is has decided to put out the movie on DVD in late April. It’s a shame that this one won’t be hitting theaters since the original played so marvelously on the big screen. Nonetheless, the Jon Harris directed sequel, which continues with the story of Sarah, the lone survivor of a spelunking trip gone horribly, horribly wrong, should still be a fun monster-in-the-dark romp.

Until the last few years, straight to DVD releases might as well have sported a disclaimer exclaiming “This movie sucks!”, but fortunately, the industry has evolved to understand that today’s insular movie buffs are used to the home theatre experience, and that DVD/Blu-ray is a thriving business. It may never be a match for time-tested effect of seeing a movie on the big screen, but it might lend a helping hand in ever-expanding land of horror sequels.

Last night in Beverly Hills, Sci Fi Crush got the chance to speak briefly with Damon Lindelof, executive producer of Lost and co-writer of the upcoming Star Trek sequel.

The hit ABC series, Lost, approaches its sixth and final season in 2010. Lindelof described writing the last episodes to be “an enormous emotional experience” and confirmed that the show’s ending has been in the works since the very beginning.

The writer also promised Lost fans that all of the show’s loose ends will be tied up in a fair and satisfying way. ”We hope that all who put their faith in us to resolve these stories will be rewarded. We’ve really been writing this season for the fans.”

Damon Lindelof also produced this summer’s reboot of Star Trek and has been working with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci on developing the sequel. ”It’s in the preliminary stages,” he said, “We’ve thrown around some cool ideas, but that’s it.”

Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are up for an Emmy for their two-parter Lost episode, “The Incident.”

We wish them all the best.
