Merrick here...


By now, most of us are aware that a Will Ferrell movie based on the 70s kid show LAND OF THE LOST is in the works. You can find pictures of the project's Sleestaks HERE.

Now comes word (via THIS ARTICLE at IESB) that LAND OF THE LOST creators Sid and Marty Krofft are close to bringing two of their more psychedelic properties top the big screen; a deal to do so should be closed within days.

The titles are:


SIGMUND AND THE SEA MONSTERS...

and H.R. PUFNSTUF...

"Pufnstuf"..."Can't do a little cause he can't do enough"...no double meaning, there.

The Kroffts have frequently asserted that drugs were not involved with the making of these shows. Which means...these series illustrate what they were thinking when they weren't stoned?

We're in need of intelligent, hard SF right about now; I'd much prefer to see them motion pictureize THE LOST SAUCER:

Who could sing that theme song?
