Lost Season 6 will be 16 Episodes but have 2 hour long Premiere and Finale

Update: This is now confirmed. 16 Episode Episodes. Prem and Finale 2 hrs each making a total of 18 hours.

Thanks to Sluky for this heads up on the translation of this Matthew Fox article in which he claims there will be 16 Episodes in Season 6 but that the Premiere and Finale will both be 2 Hrs long.

I've contacted my ABC contact to see if we can confirm this.
