Universal Shows Us What Happens When No One Gets JURASSIC PARK 4 Up & Running: LAND OF THE LOST!! With Will Ferrell!!

Ferrell is the new Chevy Chase by scratcher	Oct 10th, 2007 09:11:10 AM
Who's giving him career advice? With movies like Blades of Glory he's losing cred quickly.
Dinosaurs, Banjos, shitty effects....if it aint broke dont fix i by LORDRANDO	Oct 10th, 2007 09:13:52 AM
Seriously. Banjos. dinosaurs. I bet the movie will only have one of the two, and you cant make CGI banjos eat people.
Lost Tv Show Ripoff? by screamster101	Oct 10th, 2007 09:18:49 AM
The more I think about it, isn't "Lost" almost the same idea as "Land of the Lost"? It all seems to similar. LAWSUIT!
FUCK NO!!!!! FUCK NO!!!!! FUCK NO!!!! FUCK NO!!!!! by gruntybear	Oct 10th, 2007 09:21:44 AM
Hollywood, you pissed on my Star Wars. You pissed on my Planet of the Apes. You're in the process of pissing on my original Star Trek. You've remade (or are planning to remak) every remotely worthwhile horror franchise in existence. The very least you could do is keep your filthy fucking mitts off the one aspect of my childhood that has to this day remained relatively pure (minus that shitty puppeteering mishap in the late '90s). Get behind me thou foul money-grubbing beasts!! Sid & Marty Krofft properties are not your new, shiny plaything. Will Ferrell needs to be kept a billion miles away from any modern day re-imagining of my beloved campy/druggy 70's Saturday morning live-action fare. What next? Jack Black as "Jimmy" and Helena Bonham Carter as "Witchiepoo" in a re-do-just-to-do of "H.R. Pufnstuf?" Or howzabout Jon Heder in a full-on modernizing of "Sigmund the Sea Monster?" Universal - you RAT BASTARDS!! - you ought to be ashamed.
I'm still waiting for the first 1 billion dollar budget movie. by Stalin vs Predator	Oct 10th, 2007 09:26:24 AM
It will probably be Jackson's remake of "Lost World". With the effects being done by the people who did the dinosaur stampede in his Donkey Kong 2005.
Scratcher... by Agent Blue	Oct 10th, 2007 09:29:45 AM
You think Ferrell is LOSING cred with flicks like Blades of Glory? Then where in the world did he GAIN his cred? The Ladies Man? Night at the Roxbury? This is the stuff he excels at!
*** I'd much rather see a TUROK live action flick! *** by JDanielP	Oct 10th, 2007 09:32:25 AM
How about THAT?! At least the TUROK comic book property will be seen in a NEW video game.
Blades Of Glory Rules by www.valiens.com	Oct 10th, 2007 09:35:02 AM
I don't see where that's any less funny than any of the other Farrell movies.
YES!!!! by Anna Valerious	Oct 10th, 2007 09:36:40 AM
That, and the proposed preschool version of "The Bugaloos" are two things I've been patiently waiting for. I just hope they get brits for "The Bugaloos" since you really can't have it any other way. (Sorry, DeVito, but I don't think late '90s pop stars would've cut it.)

anyone remember a story on aicn years ago about how JP4 was going to feature a race of dino-human supersoldiers that were bred from the DNA wayne knight tried to steal in JP1, in a spooky transylvanian castle? and that spielberg had said that if he'd been approched with that idea for JP3 he never would have made the JP3 that hit theatres? because i do. and i'm still laughing about it.

That looked like it was filmed in someones bathtub! Those FX are great, specially the painted prehistoric chickens!? Ferrells best work has been in Curious George coz you didn't get distracted by his piggy eyes and pube hair but I think this might be his finest hour!
What's scary is...I remember season two by zacdilone	Oct 10th, 2007 09:54:52 AM
The guy who played the dad left the show, so they wrote him out by having him use one of the pylons, which caused him to get sucked away into who knows where. Then the uncle showed up, and they figured out that the way the Land of the Lost worked, there always had to be a balancing effect to people coming and going. Since the dad left...the uncle showed up. Why do I remember that?
Starring WESLEY by zacdilone	Oct 10th, 2007 09:55:27 AM
That makes me laugh.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET by Pound Sand	Oct 10th, 2007 09:58:33 AM
True story: The Mo-Cap process for Chaka and the Sleestaks is gonna cost a lot for this movie, and it has to be done just right, or else it would look fake.
My favorite shows as a child. They will fuck this up. by AllPowerfulWizardOfOz	Oct 10th, 2007 10:02:01 AM
Already with that terrible casting of Farrell it sounds like they are going comedy. That fucking sucks. The show was actually pretty decent for a Saturday morning kids show with a limited budget and there is so much they actually do with a Sleestak story arc. But considering who's going to be in this it will be nothing more then a goddamn parody which is a shame because there was so much potential for something greater and dark. Chalk this one up to a movie I won't see.

Making "Land of the Lost" with a Big Budget... by bobbyjoe	Oct 10th, 2007 10:06:22 AM
...is like making a Hostess Twinkie out of gourmet pastry and cream. It loses the thing that actually makes it a Hostess Twinkie, so what's the point? If there's one movie that would actually be improved by the lowest budget possible, it's "Land of the Lost." Half the charm of the original series was its lame-o special effects.
Clint Howard won't even need makeup by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Oct 10th, 2007 10:06:41 AM

Hot Future Holly by Mundungus	Oct 10th, 2007 10:09:11 AM

some of the other ones are godawful. The dad was a terrible actor and always seemed to look like he was in hell having to do that role. I guess that's why he bailed (or they fired him) later on.

Land of the Lost by The Alienist	Oct 10th, 2007 10:29:59 AM
What a lot of us of a certain age remember is that, despite its cheesey FX, "Land of the Lost" had some really good science fiction. Even at the time it was regarded as such, it actually had some original Star Trek writers on board. Sometimes it got almost trippy in it use of what is now traditional scifi elements. I remember a particular ep involving the Flying Mariner that somehow placed Holly into two different time periods. Very odd and sorta wonderful and way ahead of its time.
Fuck that...Where's my FAR OUT SPACE NUTS movie starring Luiz Gu by Lance Rocke	Oct 10th, 2007 10:33:21 AM
I'd buy that for a dollar!
a hundred million...? by MC-909	Oct 10th, 2007 10:34:31 AM
Really? Wow. Someone's got a little bit of cash to throw away. I'm with Bobbyjoe, a MUCH lower budget would make it a better movie. Like, say a budget of seventeen dollars. Also, I really hope you guys aren't serious about this remake "raping your childhood". Jesus Christ, even when I was a kid I thought Land of the Lost was cheesy as hell.
This is great, tripping down memory lane . . . by Nice Marmot	Oct 10th, 2007 10:44:51 AM
. . . I remember being so stoked when Grumpy followed the main characters to the ruins the Sleestaks lived under and then faced off with Alice. Then I called them out for having the Allosaurus being the same size as the T-Rex while my parents thought, "What a little tool we've raised."
Didn't Ringo Star already make this movie? by INWOsuxRED	Oct 10th, 2007 10:56:20 AM
I am guessing this will be Farrell's Evan Almighty. The cost vs funny ratio will be almost impossible to beat, unless they just re-use the effects from the old show.
maybe if farrel plays a concerned dad by LarryTheCableGuy	Oct 10th, 2007 10:57:57 AM
and doesn't just start screaming obnoxiously for 10 minutes after bumping his knee on a root, then backing into every tree and knocking things down. it would work like that in a snl sketch, he'd probly have a mis-understanding chaka and slap him around and then 10 minutes of him screaming while being stuck in the t-rex's mouth. but the movie should drop the cheesy and be a serious interdimensional sci-fi adventure with dinosaurs, sleestacks, power crystals, throw in a hot jungle woman or two, and all that.

I don't know if the bionical woman show precludes this, but I think W.F. would be a great Colonel Steve Austin, don't you? All squinty with a leisure suit? And I wonder how long it took before Uncle Jack or Will (the poor man's Greg Brady) tapped Holly?
it was season 3 not 2 by strangernparadis	Oct 10th, 2007 11:40:19 AM

Isn't that season 3's opening? by The Moseph	Oct 10th, 2007 11:52:44 AM
Hey, Merrick, isn't that clip you have up for season 2 actually season 3? I recently watched seasons 1 & 2 on DVD sharing one of my favorite shows as a kid with my own kids and as I recall Spencer Mulligan didn't want to do a third season, something about wanting more money I believe, so they wrote him out with his character going home and mind bogglingly wrote in Will & Holly's uncle.

...when Holly had...uh... developed, but was still wearing the funky pigtails? She was really straining the buttons of that flannel shirt, too. When you were like, 8 years old... she was the bomb! Me and my brother used to sing along with the theme song... "Marshal, Will and Holly... On a routine expedition... When the greatest earthquake... Ever knooooown..." (at which point we'd always laughingly interject... "Happened!!!"... and fall out for about five minutes) Ah yes... good times...

Farrell just needs his own Evan Almighty by Trader Groucho 2	Oct 10th, 2007 01:24:41 PM
The reason something like this gets greenlit with a $100m budget (small compared to Evan's) is that fanboys like some of you who have posted here already remember the show. They're exploiting the mindspace this idea already occupies. My solution is to ignore this for as long as possible, until one of you sneaks into a sneak (I'll be happy to sign your NDA. No, I won't spill on the Net. What's the Net? May I see the movie now please?), and if it turns out to be unusually good, I'll consider seeing it. I'm really looking forward to Get Smart. That Steve Carrell guy, he just might be the new Steve Carrell.

Do you REALLY care one way or the other whether they make a movie of this show? The "My childhood is getting raped" crap is soooo played out, too. Get over yoursleves, you dumb douches. When I was 5 years old The Land of the Lost rocked. But there's no denying the show was awful. Yes, I have a nostalgic place in my heart for the Sleestaks, but c'mon, why are some of you wasting the time and energy bitching about them remaking it? Who gives a flying fuck. Go ahead and remake that shit. It will only be better than it was.

Other ideas by FatRat	Oct 10th, 2007 04:14:03 PM
Let's do a major motion picture about Space Academy. Then we can do the sequels Jason of Star Command and Ark II. I know, Ark II had nothing to do with Space Academy or Jason, but we could tie it in somehow. (If any execs are reading this I want my cut of the take when you green light these.)

Wasn't there some kind of english speaking Sleestak who had been more evolved than his green buddies? And what about that room full of talkin sleestak heads? that was creepy. anyway... i have no opinion about will ferrell and 100MM dollars. elektra woman on the other hand...

Land of the Lost sucked SO bad by Boromir	Oct 11th, 2007 01:03:00 AM
Some kids were lucky--they just got molested by priests. And then there were those of us exposed to Land of the Lost. As a kid, I hated this show with all my might, right along with Hee-Haw (and the Orlando Wilson Fishin' Show. Reinventing the concept as a self-reflexive smirkfest might make it tolerable. I still may not see it, though, even though Will Ferrell's presence is promising; if I get the slightest auditory whiff of that Satanic inbred banjo music theme song, I will projectile vomit on the spot. And that would likely ruin a perfectly good theater screen.

Now there is a movie I would pay to see. They would have to bring back Charles Nelson Reilly to play Hoodoo though.
Is there a way by SpanksterOfLove	Oct 11th, 2007 10:34:49 AM
to incorporate some sort of organized sport (t-ball, cricket, midget/mud/arm/women's wrestling) around this Land o' the Lost movie? That way Will Ferrell will feel right at home, and won't have to stretch his comedic talents too thin.
I never missed Land Of The Lost by garofellatio	Oct 11th, 2007 11:03:47 AM
But it had the same problem as Superfriends. Week in, week out, ALMOST good. I was about 11 when it premiered and the effects were so fake, especially the bluescreen/greenscreen. But it had Wah Chang stop-motion dinos and those awesome Sleestak!!! Could not stand Spencer Milligan or Wesley Eure, and Chaka was worse. The show got better as it went along-- seems like most of the first season the kids would scream DADDDY DAAADDYY DDAAAADDDYYYY for most of the episode. Like I said, ALMOST good. I think the Ferrell remake is a cute idea, but you just know they're gonna do that Jack Black/Helena "Bonzo" Bonham Carter Puffnstuff thing, now that somebody put that idea in their heads!!!!
Oh and by garofellatio	Oct 11th, 2007 11:05:52 AM
The Sleestak used to trip over their own feet REGULARLY. LOTL was so ghey, and so ALMOST good, very frustrating, got the Season 2 & 3 DVDs but have avoided Season One, just not looking forward to DAAAADDDY DDDAAAADDDYYYYYY!!!!!!
Am I the only one who loved the 90s version? by Novaman5000	Oct 11th, 2007 02:16:22 PM
When I was a kid I was ALL about that show.
A Jurassic Mistake by moviemo	Oct 11th, 2007 02:18:27 PM
What a grave disappointment the Jurassic Park sequels were! Especially if you consider the source material... Michael Crichton's novel is science fiction genius. To taint it with sub-par follow-ups just shows how unfortunately money hungry the powers that be really are... as far as Land of the Lost... er....uhm...okay... Will Ferrell went to my high school, but that's about as cool as he gets, and my high school was lame.
And seriously, where is JP4? by Novaman5000	Oct 11th, 2007 02:19:51 PM
I want that movie... Unless it's going to be that stupid smart dinos carrying weapons BS that was rumored on the web a couple years ago. If that's gonna be JP4, then let the series DIE.
$100,000,000 budget, WTF????? by Violator90	Oct 11th, 2007 06:07:15 PM
Seriously, $100,000,000 to make a movie that is based on a show that looks like it costs no more that $50! What the fuck is Hollywood shoting/smoking/ramming up its ass?!?! How the fuck a can a movie like this be EVEN considered for a budget of $100,000,000?!?! LOTR, ok, Harry Potter series, ok, Bond series definitely, but LAND OF THE LOST??? Are you shitting me? Every one know just from this outlandish budget that this movie is going to be a crap fest that only Hollywood can produce.
Didn't anyone learn anything from GRINDHOUSE? by thegreatwhatzit	Oct 11th, 2007 06:53:30 PM
GRINDHOUSE was homage to cheap-o exploitation movies (variable budgets, from $25,000 to $100,000). Total cost: $70 million. Boxoffice: 0. LAND OF THE LOST was an inexpensive kiddie show. Speculative cost of movie adaptation: $100 million. I'm experiencing some deja-vu. As for Will Ferrell; he performs the same schtick all of the time, I wish I could appreciate his comedy but enough already.
Will this be... by REDD	Oct 11th, 2007 10:07:49 PM
a routine expedition or another bug hunt?
Whe does... by REDD	Oct 11th, 2007 10:10:50 PM
