2009's summer movie season has its first outright flop, as Land Of The Lost's first day suggests a weekend debut tally around $10 million lower than what the studio claimed it "needed" to succeed. Sorry, Will Ferrell. More »

Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost movie took the original television show in a weird new direction. Ferrell plunked a version of his famous character from Anchorman into a science fiction landscape - and it worked. More »

The MTV Movie Awards actually managed to make my little black heart laugh with this musical gem. Host Andy Samberg joined a Neil Diamond-clad Will Ferrell, and sang how, "Cool Guys Don't Look At Explosions." The Joker, Robocop, Iron Man, Wolverine and J.J. Abrams are all there, walking away. More »

The new big-screen Land Of The Lost movie will be a bizarre treat that actually satisfies fans of the 1970s original. You can take it from no less an authority than Juno scripter Diablo Cody, who visited the set. Her descriptions of the filming, in the current Entertainment Weekly, do sound intriguing (but campy.) And just like co-creator Mel Brooks was heavily involved with the recent Get Smart movie, LotL creators Sid and Marty Krofft were on the movie's set every day. Meanwhile, star Will Ferrell explains just how zany this movie is going to be. More »

I rarely find myself getting excited about developments in the world of MySpace, but I'm pretty damn gleeful about the new Sid and Marty Krofft page. The Kroffts had a series of kid shows on network TV, mostly in the 1970s, which featured a lot of scifi themes and geek humor. Krofft shows contained a mix of ongoing serials like Doctor Shrinker and Land of the Lost (now being made into a movie starring Will Ferrell and those alien Sleestaks pictured above — very exciting). Now MySpace is featuring episodes of these cheesetastic treats, cut down to five minutes so you only get the best bits (including the theme songs, which will give you that "OMFG it's the 1970s for real" feeling). Check out a couple of vids below. More »

USA Today features our first look at the new Sleestaks in the Land Of The Lost movie, now filming — and they don't look all that different from the classic Sid-And-Marty-Krofft versions. Director Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket's A Series Of Unfortunate Events) says he fought to keep the humanoid shape of the menacing lizard people, instead of letting them be "spindly computerized beings." They look a bit cooler than the original versions, but still have the actors-in-suits thing. Click through for the full picture, plus some spoilers. More »

Will Ferrell will star in a remake of 1970s dinosaurs-and-campy-lizards show Land of the Lost. Marilyn Manson's favorite TV show is about a family that gets caught up in a mega-earthquake during an expedition and falls into a prehistoric little enclave full of ape-kids, dinos and lizard guys called the Sleestaks. How will Ferrell's slapsticky style mesh with Land's Sid-and-Marty-Krofft campiness? Here are some hints. More »
