‘Land of the Lost’ Reboot Eyed at Netflix Legendary Television and producers Sid and Marty Krofft are behind the project based on the 1970s kids’ series. Netflix is considering a return to the Land of the Lost. The streamer is in the first stages of development on a reboot of the 1970s series, about a father and his two kids who, after “the greatest earthquake ever known,” according to the show’s theme song, are transported to a world where dinosaurs still exist and other fantastic creatures abound. Legendary Television and Sid and Marty Krofft Productions, which produced the original show, are behind the new project. Netflix and Legendary TV declined comment. Land of the Lost is just at the starting line of its development process, with no writer attached yet. Deanna Krofft Pope, vp development and production at the Kroffts’ company and daughter of the late Marty Krofft, will produce. Land of the Lost originally ran from 1974-76 as a Saturday morning series on NBC, following Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and his kids Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman) as they explored the mysterious land, befriending a humanoid boy named Cha-Ka (played by Phillip Paley) and avoiding the hostile Sleestaks (future NBA champion and WNBA coach Bill Laimbeer played one of the Sleestaks while he was a Palos Verdes high schooler). The original show got a second life as part of CBS’ Saturday morning lineup in the 1980s. The Kroffts remade the show for ABC in the early 1990s, with a different family at its center. In 2009, a feature film starring Will Ferrell, Danny McBride and Anna Friel and loosely based on the series drew poor reviews; the Krofft brothers were co-producers but not heavily involved in the film, which they later said they disliked. This would be fun. I hope they work things out and it gets made. I enjoyed watching this as a kid an Saturday mornings  |

| will we call it a remake of a remake of a remake? or a TV version of a movie based on a TV show that was a remake of a show? its always confusing when its been done so many times. But I do have fond memories of watching the 90s version as a kid, |
