I'm not a fan of Ferrell and I am sure that this will be pretty mediocre in the end but I do kind of want to see it. I am too young to remember the series from the 70s but I did watch the one that ran in the 90s and I really liked it as a kid.

Really looking forward to watching Ferrell and McBride Anna Friel pair up on screen together do anything.

I was positive this poster was going to be another "fan-made" item. Some kind of mix of Jurassic Park and Without a Paddle. Then I remembered that Ferrell isn't in Without a Paddle...

I don't know if you could make a serious version of the show but Im against playing it for laughs. I remember watching the show and liked it. It was interesting when the father left and they brought in the uncle.There was some decent Sci-fi.

So not looking forward to this and won't see pay $10 to see it. If they'd decided to do this right and actually make a big budget version of the 70s Saturday morning series then I might be interested, but Ferrell's "comedy" will only ruin this concept.

Ferrell, McBride & Dinosaurs... whats not to like, this sounds like it will be an absolute blast

Land of the Lost is essentially Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World for kids. So I guess as properties go, it is not so bad a choice to make into a movie. But I am not sure it ought to be a tentpole film for the summer, and judging from the release date I guess that's what it is. Any dino-film with such high aspirations will likely have to contend with comparisons to a certain Steven Speilberg movie.

I used to watch this show on TV and remember, even though pretty young, that I liked it a lot. Basically anything Will Farrell does is funny, so this will be sure to get at least a few laughs.

Just another in a long line of remakes/reboots that are swiftly bringing an end to American cinema. The Indie Revolution is coming!

I'm with Chuck...this would be best as something not played for laughs. I enjoyed this show immensely as a kid...but as a kid, I took it seriously. I don't want to see Will Ferrel put his stamp of mediocre "laughability" on this!

I think it's funny that Will Ferrell played "Marshal Willenholly" in "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back", and now he's playing Marshall. I laughed hysterically when I heard that name. My friends were like "what up with you?", so I had to say his name slowly for them. Then they laughed, too. :-)

Oh, by the way, I wouldn't pay a dime to see this. Remakes and sequels display the worst form of insult and apathy that Hollywood has toward moviegoers. When they come out with a truly unique product, I may return the to the theaters. Until then, I'll wait until they come on the free on-demand channel at home.
