Universal Pictures has released the Super Bowl spot for Land of the Lost. Looks pretty good, especially visually. I’m a big fan of both Anna Friel and Will Ferrell so that alone is enough to interest me in the movie. Watch the trailer after the jump.
Watch the trailer in high definition at YouTube.
Synopsis
Space-time vortexes suck!
Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into one and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world – a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost.
Sucked alongside him for the adventure are crack-smart research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist (Danny McBride) named Will. Chased by T-Rex and stalked by painfully slow reptiles known as Sleestaks, Marshall, Will and Holly must rely on their only ally – a primate called Chaka (Jorma Taccone) to navigate out of the hybrid dimension. Escape from this routine expedition gone awry and they’re heroes. Get stuck, and they’ll be permanent refugees in the Land of the Lost.
Based on the classic television series created by Sid & Marty Krofft, “Land of the Lost” is directed by Brad Silberling and produced by Jimmy Miller and Sid & Marty Krofft.
Land of the Lost hits theaters on June 5th.

I’m disappointed that it’s going to be a comedy. I’d much prefer to see a mature take on the Land of the Lost concept. I love the old TV show for it’s sci-fi underpinnings and melodrama, not the goofiness that occasionally crept in.
