The film stars Will Ferrell anhd Dr. Rick Marshall, a scientist who, along with his research assistant (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist () end up going back to a time when dinosaurs roam free.  With no weapons, minimal skills and even less common sense these three have to find a way to make it out of this adventure alive.

Since it stars Will Ferrell, you can pretty much expect a lot of over-the-top, physical comedy which, depending on my mood, I tend to find pretty funny so, even though I didn’t go to see it while it was in theaters, I am looking forward to checking it out this weekend.

In the movie, which is based on the classic television show, Will Ferrell is a has-been scientist (Dr. Rick Marshall) who gets sucked into some sort of space-time vortex along with his research assistant and a redneck survivalist.

I can only imagine how over-the-top the physical comedy will be in this film but I’m definitely going to try to see it this weekend (watch the Land of the Lost trailer now!).  You can also check out the iPhone game Land of the Lost: Crystal Adventure.

With taglines like “the world’s greatest scientists agree…Dr. Rick Marshall is completely nuts” and catchphrases like “Matt Lauer can suck it!” you know that it’s going to be a typical Will Ferrell movie but I hope it doesn’t end up like Bewitched (another TV series turned film starring Ferrell that just fell flat, in my opinion). 

The plot revolves around Dr. Rick Marshall (Ferrell), his research assistant and a redneck survivalist who end up being sucked into a space-time vortex.  With no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world, they rely on an unlikely ally and navigate through a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy

Land of the Lost co-stars Danny McBride, Anna Friel and Jorma Taccone and opens nationwide on June 5, 2009!

In the meantime you can check out the free iPhone game, Land of the Lost: Crystal Adventure or the trailer below.  The part where he’s on the Today show seriously cracks me up.  It seems like it would make a great family movie for the summer.  Watch it now:

In Land of the Lost: Crystal Adventure, players must guide Rick Marshall (who will be played by Will Ferrell) through a series of challenging obstacles by “pushing blocks, building bridges, and navigating around hurdles.”  The goal to get through the 25 Sleestak temple levels and reach the large crystal (but make sure you collect all the small crystals you see along the way!).

Exclusive features:
•       25 levels of puzzle-driven fun ranging in difficulty from simple to dastardly.
•       Photos, trailers, and sound bytes from the Universal Pictures movie starring Will Ferrell.
•       Made a mistake?  Hit the undo button to take your move back.
•       Collect Crystals to achieve the highest score possible
•       Avoid the Sleestaks
•       Replay any completed level to try and get a higher score.
•       Local scoreboard

This sounds fun since, instead of mindless playing, this game requires you to think and strategize.  Too bad I don’t have an iPhone!
