Matthew Fox“Lost” star Matthew Fox has dismissed claims that the show doesn’t have the potential for a long future.

“When we’d just done the pilot, everybody was asking, ‘ How do you make a series out of this?’

“All I kept thinking about was that I did 144 hours of “Party Of Five” about five people in a house in San Fransisco, and you’re going to tell me you have issues about making a long-term show out of 14 main characters, 46 survivors on an island, with this huge, epic story to be told?

“This show could easily do an eight year run,” Matthew told Heat magazine recently.
