Universal, which brought us the successful Jurassic Park trilogy, has decided to add another dinosaur flick to the stable. The studio has given the greenlight to cult classic “Land of the Lost,” a somewhat popular television series from 1974, rerun during the eighties, and brought back to T.V. in 1991 as a new series starring Timothy Bottoms (The Paper Chase).
The movie will star Will Ferrell and have a budget of $100 million dollars. Source: Variety
I don’t know what to think of this project. I watched the series when it aired in the eighties and also the 1991 series. There has to be some interest for a box office big gun like Will Ferrell to be attached to this film. I don’t get nostalgic for this like I would for something like, I don’t know, maybe Thundercats or Transformers. Also, I remember the series took itself seriously, and this movie is being touted as a comic. I just don’t know if Ferrell’s going to be enough to get back the $100 milllion.
