The man behind Lost and the flawed-but-fascinating film: Prometheus.

Lindelof might have us hooked… again.

The director of the feature film Friday Night Lights (Peter Berg).

A story from a novel that Stephen King calls “…simply put, the best episode of The Twilight Zone you never saw.”

You’ve got our attention. But HBO didn’t stop there when preparing its newest series offering, adding Justin Theroux, who played the young Hollywood director taking orders from sinister forces in Mulholland Drive, and the official logline:

“The Rapture happens. But not quite like it’s supposed to. This is the story of the people who didn’t make the cut… and a world that will never be the same.”

Actor Justin Theroux will try to keep it together after The Rapture

Lindelof is executive producing and co-writing along the pilot with author Tom Perrotta.

Go ahead HBO, just tell us what night of the week we have to give up…
