LAND OF THE LOST Poster Found!
Hey folks, Harry here... collectively we all know right now that this film, LAND OF THE LOST, is going to be some spectacularly silly shit that will be absolutely irresistible to ummm... resist this summer. LAND OF THE LOST was one of the few 'live-action' Saturday morning shows of my youth that I watched religiously. With the cast & the visual effects... I'm kinda giddy that this film is coming out. We should be getting a big trailer sometime relatively soon, right? Here's the poster over at Cinematical.com

dont care
-
They even utilized prehistoric photoshop skills!
-
Almost as giddy as when I saw Lee Majors on Cold Case this week. He must be in his 70's and he could still whoop your ass!

Kevin Smith cast Will Ferrel as Marshall Willenholly (like Will n Holly) because he is psychic.
-
I hope this doesn't turn out to be Will Ferrell's version of Journey to the Center of the Earth. The T-rex is giving me that vibe.
-
but I really really really hate Danny McBride. Just the sight of him pisses me off. I know it's irrational and makes no sense, but I don't care. Danny McBride has a face that was made for throwing cinderblocks at.

Danny McBride is the funniest actor I have seen in years.
by ronnie__dobbs
And his popularity -when it peaks- will last a couple months. Like the summer months - right after he hosts SNL. MARK MY WORDS KIDS
-
And I thought the Defiance one was the worst i'd ever seen...
-
except that one. And that other one. And that one there.
-
But I'll probably check out the movie. Seeing Anna Friel makes me miss 'Pushing Daisies' already.
-
I hope it's a real adventure story and not a "Night at the Musuem" style shitfest.
-
Very disappointed in the fact that they are making this into a comedy. I realize that the original show was cheesy as hell, but when I was a kid there was nothing more frightening then those Slestaks. Can you imagine if they did this as a straight sci fi/fantasy film with Jurassic Park quality effects and scary-assed Slestaks chasing the characters around. A total missed opportunity. Also, Holly should be blond and Danny McBride will be ass in this. His comedic style is too close to Ferrell's.
-
For 30 years we children of the '70s have imagined what a big-budget kick-ass version of LotL would be like. Now we get our chance and it's going to be a spooftacular. I mean, as long as they didn't make it the typical "darker and edgier" (gackk!!!) way most things seem to go, it could be so cool. They make a movie of the X-Files and you get The X-Files. They make a movie of Sex and the City and you get Sex and the City. Although, I wouldn't mind a darker, edgier Sex and the City really. Maybe something along the lines of Descent. Hmmm...
-
You're a douche. LOTL may have had crappy effects but it had some very serious and cool SciFi concepts. It doesn't deserve to be 'sillified' by Will Ferrel.
-
Most of y'all are way too young to remember the treat we got as children of the 70's every sat morning. We got shows like 'H.R. PUFF'N'STUFF', 'LIDSVILLE,' and 'LAND OF THE LOST.' Good God Lord in heaven they were so incredibly freakin awful bad. I was a kid, and to me even then they SUCKED ASS! Now, of those three, the only one that had a hint of cool in it was LAND of the LOST. Why? Because it had DINOSAURS. There was no Jurrasic Park, nothing other than 'MYTOR' the flying caveman that haqd dinosaurs in it, save for TUROK-a Gold Key comic (he was an indian who fought dinosaurs-no guns like the modern game). Anyway, the dinosaurs in Land of the Lost were all the dino's we dino kids could get. It was kinda like giving baking powder to a coke addict. Sure, we'd snort it up hoping for a rush that never came. I think Ferrels funny and I hope they play up they campiness of this McTerrible show.
-
Specially if they're going for the comedy route. Brady Bunch, anyone?
-
he wants his Misfits font back
-
"a disgraced paleontologist." The girl is his assistant and the other guy is a tour guide. This could make for some funny stuff, but the idea behind Land of the Lost was that it's a family.
-
holy crap thats terrible..you sure this isnt some fake?
-
That's like Scary Movie spoofing Scream, which was a spoof of already bad horror movies. Or Epic Movie spoofing Borat. It's all very incestuous. I barely remember the show but I agree, a serious treatment might have been cool.
-
There's some awful DP work here. The direction of the actors in this shot seems aimless. Will looks bored. The lighting and compositing stink and are inconsistent. The basic composition lacks drama or even the requisite humor. It's pretty shitty really.
As far as being like the Brady Bunch... Wasn't that movie set in present day? It was just the Brady family that was fucked in the head, iirc.
Besides, the only way for this movie to work is if Ferrell goes all balls to the wall apeshit and over the top with the prehistoric sight gags. I mean, it's going to suck. Still, let's at least get to laugh at his expense. -
Scary is a spoof, barely. Scream is more of a satire. Scream's all about using the inside jokes to turn the genre on its head. Scary Movie's more about taking the preexisting elements and infusing them with sophomoric, scatological humor. Different beasts.
-
Have you seen the live action Saturday shows of that day? I grew up with them. They're comedy gold. It's a wonder that we haven't seen HR Pufnstuf or Sigmund & The Sea Monsters yet.
-
The FX look "too good". It needs stop motion and puppets for the dinos.
-
. . . now this! Good call, Snowcone. And AMEN, to this being a blown opportunity. I used to LOVE this show as a kid. I know its weird, but one tiny detail keeps springing to mind. Every so often you could hear the T-Rex, Grumpy, roar way far off in the distance. That just made the show and that world so damn real for me. Sure it was cheesy as hell, but uberman is right, it had fucking dinosaurs in it so that meant my ass was parked in front of the damn tv for every blissful second.
-
That would be sweet.
-
None of the main characters in the image look very scared, just slightly worried. The T-rex looks cheap. I like the sleestack monument though.
-
... in Photoshop. You sure this is the real deal poster? It sucks ass, per se.
-
No blonde pig taiil braids?? Booo! Sell Out!
-
Same here, Harry. Loved the show in my childhood. Can they not do better than this Photoshop'ed mess? Terrible looking.
-
The only good thing on this poster is the Sleestak monument. The rest is crap. Horrible photoshopping and a lousy-looking Tyrannosaurus. I weep for my youth where this show and Hanna-Barbera's Godzilla cartoon were my only sources of consistent dinosaur entertainment. (Occasionally they'd show a Japanese monster movie on the weekend. Loved that Gamera...)
-
but the original series had top notch sci fi writers on the staff...who tried their best not to talk down to the kid audience...the show was hampered by a very limited budget...but if you were 6-10, you didnt care...if they eff this up, there are gonna be a whole bunch of 40 somethings who are pretty pissed off
-
i say everyone go over and give him shit
-
from Harry. And nobody else. I honestly think this site should have been boycotted after that Twilight review he wrote. But then again I still came back so who am I to talk.
-
and interesting concepts by superb writers, minus the Sid & Marty 70's wacked out frippery, updated with today's tech and a budget, and this could've been great. Doing a parody was pointless. Fish in a barrel.
-
that poster converys absolutely nothing. fucking lame!
-
that poster conveys absolutely nothing. fucking lame!
-
I can't wait for kids to see this poster and feel the same wonder as we geeks did when as children we first saw the poster for Deliverance.
-
not THE shit...just, shit.
-
I'd pay to see that.
-
will ferrell in it?
I may see it when it hits network tv -
Back when I was fucking 6! It was the bright spot of every Sat morning, well that and Superfriends.
And and once I hit 7...I realized Holly had quite the booty on her as well. -
Not paying for this.
-
Love it!
Go Will. This is your comeback after the disappointment of 2008.
-
You wanted a 'serious' version with DeNiro? You thought it deserved a total dramatic treatment? Are you a complete Moron? The show was C.H.E.E.S.E. all the way, down to the costumes and pet dinosaurs. The ONLY way to play the el-lamo source material is PLAY IT FOR LAUGHS. Period.
-
Why couldn't Will and Holly be kids? I'm sure Will Ferrel could make a fun role playing a father. Plus, it would give him a chance to do some serious moments, knowing that he has to protect his children. (Alan Grant did a good job protecting the kids in Jurassic Park)
-
on that poster? This is The River Wild 2 poster right?
-
...Will Ferrell runs around in his underwear and screams a lot at some point during the movie.

That poster looks like a 15 year old made it with photoshop lol

Wasn't the original always about a father and his two kids? Wasn't it supposed to have kids in it because it was made for kids, not the parents? What, is it now about pathetically immature 40-year-olds who still bitch about the kids ruining Jurassic Park? Granted, the original wasn't exactly up there with classic Star Trek, there's not much to honor about the original concept except that people are lost in a land of dinosaurs. To me this looks like a slightly bigger version of this year's Journey to the Center of the Earth (which was just as vapid as any typical saturday morning cartoon). The only good thing I see about it is that it getting made should signal that we're this much closer to getting a movie based on Mysterious Cities of Gold or the animated Dungeons and Dragons. Fuck, I'd take Galtar and the Golden Lances or Pirates of Darkwater over this, but to each nerdy old person's (who still thinks kid's entertainment should be made for them) own, right? Also Blackstar would be fucking awesome. So would Flash Gordon, but Hollywood can't seem to get that made no matter how easy it would be.
-
A new comedic hero for simpletons. I liked The Foot Fist Way enough, but his turns in the bigger budget stuff have all been moronic shit I have to hear raved about by dumbass people I know who have no taste and think shit like Larry the Cable Guy is highbrow. These are the same fuckers who like comedians who use puppets, and you know exactly who the fuck I mean.
-
That is all.
-
...out of that T-rex biting Will Ferrell in half like he did to that lawyer in JP.
-
imagination. The original BSG was also cheesy, but the core ideas and imagery were adapted into a more thoughtful and adult concept. Like I said, doing a parody is shooting fish in a barrel. Unnecessary. If one wants to laugh at it, one can just watch the original. But it had great story potential -- the advanced Sleestak who discovered he was from his race's past, not it's future...the reality altering Pylons...the strange physics of the Land's geography... more here:

Yahoo! It's the T-Rex from 50 other movies!...zzzzzzzzzzzz
by missing dink
It doesn't even look like a real movie poster.
-
in his glittery red mummuu, to mediate between the humans and the bad sleestaks. Then I hope someone shoves him into one of those fog-pits and says, "Take that, bitch"
-
you can find like 17 hidden sleestaks
-
...and you should have seen it coming. In my youth I remember seeing "The Land of the Lost" with its cheap special effects and cheesy story lines and I thought it was really cool. The reason I thought that was because I was a child, and my brain hadn't fully developed yet. Now that I am an adult, I can look back and see just how much that show sucked (and the majority of the shows during that time period). Hollywood is in remake hell...the strike is coming that will close Hollywood for a year...the end is coming on December 21, 2012...
-
Will and him have some good chemistry.
-
That Will Ferrel didn't look so much like Dubyuh. Makes me not want to watch this film as I don't want to have to look at anyone who looks like this ex-president for a very long time...
-
I'm sure the movie will suck even more
-
You're right about this movie, it does look like shit.
You're completely wrong about Danny McBride though.
