'The Lost Room is a science fiction television miniseries first announced in an advertisement on the Sci Fi Channel during the premiere episode of Eureka. According to the trailer, the series revolves around 100 everyday items that possess unusual powers, such as a comb that can stop time for five seconds, or a pen that microwaves anything it touches. It is said that anybody who collects all 100 items and returns them to their "rightful place" will achieve "divinity" and that there are some individuals who believe that these items should never be found. The trailer then states that the protagonist is searching for these items for a different reason and cuts to an image of a screaming girl. It will air on December 11, 12, and 13th, 2006 on the Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. and on Space: The Imagination Station in Canada.
Peter Krause, 2006 Emmy nominee for Six Feet Under, has been cast as the lead actor in Sci Fi Channel's 2006 limited series event The Lost Room (previously announced under the working title Motel Man), it was announced on September 14, 2006 by Mark Stern, executive vice president of original programming, Sci Fi Channel. Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF), an independent filmed-entertainment studio, is producing the series, which is set to begin shooting in Albuquerque, N.M., on July 19, 2006, with Richard Hatem (Supernatural, The Mothman Prophecies) serving as executive producer. The Lost Room is slated to premiere in December, 2006. The project was created and written by co-executive producers Christopher Leone, Laura Harkcom, and Paul Workman.

Last week, Krause received his third Emmy nomination as Best Male Actor in a Drama Series for his performance. He has also been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and two SAG Awards for his work on Six Feet Under.

Elle Fanning (The Door in the Floor, Because of Winn Dixie) has been cast to play Krause's daughter. The Lost Room marks the second appearance by Elle Fanning in a Sci Fi Channel movie event. She made a brief appearance in Sci Fi's 2002 Emmy-winning miniseries Steven Spielberg Presents Taken that starred and helped launch the career of her older sister, Dakota Fanning.
Julianna Margulies will play Jennifer, a mysterious woman who contacts Detective Joe Miller (Krause) and claims that her brother was killed for a seemingly innocuous motel-room key, one that actually has the power to unlock a door into a room full of ordinary objects that possess unimaginable powers. When Detective Miller comes into possession of the key, Jennifer tries to warn him of the inherent danger of "the lost room" and the objects therein. But when Miller's own daughter (Fanning) vanishes into the room, he must form an uneasy alliance with Jennifer, who opens his eyes to a world of secret cabals who will stop at nothing to secure the key.
Craig R. Baxley, who directed Sci Fi's 2005 miniseries event The Triangle, and Michael Watkins, the co-executive producer and director of Prison Break who also directed an installment of the Emmy-nominated miniseries Into the West and Sci Fi's miniseries 5ive Days to Midnight, will share directing duties on The Lost Room.'
Voor de liefhebbers. Te ontvangen via de satelliet en internet. 
Eerste twee afleveringen gezien en ik sta behoorlijk versteld van het niveau. Beetje karikaturaal en voorspelbaar, maar het gegeven is heel aardig.
