'Lost' soul finds 'Grind'

Andrews moves into TWC's 'House'

"Lost" castaway Naveen Andrews is set to come ashore in the ensemble pulp pic "Grind House," for helmers Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

Being distributed by the Weinstein Co.'s Dimension label, pic has Rodriguez and Tarantino each helming a 60-minute horror tale, with faux trailers and ads in between.

Andrews takes on the role of "a badass military scientist," according to the producers. Pic is heading into production in Austin, Texas, this summer.

Andrews will join "Planet Terror," the zombie movie that is Rodriguez's portion of the project. Pic's cast already includes Freddy Rodriguez, Rose McGowan and Josh Brolin.

Tarantino's segment -- a slasher pic called "Death Proof" -- has yet to be cast.

TWC recently picked an Easter 2007 release date.

Keeping busy over the summer, Andrews also is starring with Jodie Foster in Neil Jordan's "The Brave One."
