LAND OF THE LOST

With Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel, Jorma Taccone

Written by Chris Henchy & Dennis McNicholas (based on the TV series by Sid & Marty Krofft)
Directed by Brad Silberling

Based on the old TV series, this bigger budget and naturally more madcap special FX-filled feature film take on the show has Ferrell as a nutsy scientist kicked out of the science department, relegated to doing kids classes. But his crazy theories on time warps in fact hold water, and the device he designed ends up sucking him, his research assistant and the redneck proprietor of a crappy store and Devils Cave roadside attraction into a weird dimension filled with dangerous, strange phenomena, and even stranger creatures. They become embroiled in a struggle to overthrow a tyrant set on expanding this dimension's oppression to the rest of the universe.

McBride is a well chosen supporting buffoon, as proven in movies like Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. One of the extra features has him doing a video diary on set - naturally completely lampooning, with all cast & crew playing along in disliking him.
