‘Land of the Lost’ One-Sheet Debuts
The first one-sheet for Land of the Lost was posted over at Cinematical, The live-action feature, based on the 1974-1976 NBC Saturday morning series, gets the big screen treatment. The film stars Will Ferrell (Talladega Nights), Danny McBride (Underworld), Anna Friel (Pushing Daisies), and Jorma Taccone (Saturday Night Live). It’s being directed by Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events) and the plot, according to USA Today, “involves three adults (not a dad and two kids as on TV) accidentally thrust into a realm ruled by dinosaurs, monkey-men called Pakuni and the murderous Sleestak”
Land of the Lost arrives in theaters on June 5, 2009.
Will Farrell's character's name is "Rick Marshall"!
Although I'm sure the special effects will be far better than what a Saturday morning program could ever afford to provide, my concerns about the movie run akin to when the 1989 Batman film first announced that Tim Burton would direct Michael Keaton in the title role.Land of the Lost should be like the Indiana Jones films in its tone. An action/adventure somewhat lightheart.Here's hoping those behind the movie get it right.
