A New Photo of Enik From 'Land of the Lost'

The gang over at Collider got their hands on a new picture from Land of the Lost -- and as I'd like them to keep their scoop (particularly since the trades like ripping them off), you'll have to click on the bug-eyed lizard to see the whole photo. Devin Faraci has confirmed the photo is the real deal, and that it's the first look at Enik. If you adored the show (which I didn't, the Sleestaks scared the crap out of me), you might remember this kind fellow as the guard of a time portal. He's played by John Boylan, who's really quite handsome under that make-up.
Enik represents what the Sleestaks once were -- a proud civilization called the Altrusians, a race that could talk and wear clothes, and who eventually devolved into the mean and naked Sleestaks. (Humanity, take note.) I'm not sure how they managed to make Enik look friendlier and less soul-destroying than the other Sleestaks, but his black eyes don't scare me nearly as much.
Land of the Lost opens July 17th, 2009.
Quickhits: Voigt Ousts Nolte, Heder is Clumsy, Penetration Gets a Writer

Monday's odds and ends:- Nick Nolte's knees (or one of them, anyway) are apparently so bad that he can't even act on them. According to Variety, due to an old knee injury he's been replaced in the cast of Pride and Glory by the much scarier - and, it would appear, more ambulatory - Jon Voigt. The movie is the story of a multi-generational family of cops; Nolte is no longer their patriarch.
- Also injured is Jon Heder, who fractured an ankle trying to ice skate on the set of Blades of Glory. Yeah, it's dangerous! That'll teach you people to make fun of Johnny Weir. It's hoped, however, that Heder won't have to be replaced. This is good because, while it's pretty hilarious to think about Will Farrell on ice skates by himself, it's even funnier when you picture Heder skating past him.
- Penetration,
David Ignatius' thriller about spying in the Middle East, was
acquired by Warner Brothers earlier this year. It was
hoped that Ridley Scott would direct (he will), but
until recently, the film had no writer and therefore was a very low priority for the director. The studio revealed last
night, though, that they have hired William
Monahan, who previously worked with Scott on both Kingdom of Heaven and the forthcoming Tripoli,
to pen the screenplay. Also, since it's going to be hard for the target teenage boy audience to say the title of this
movie without giggling, I think it needs to be changed to something safely un-suggestive. Like, say,
Mmm...Spies.
