Interview: 'Land of the Lost' Director Brad Silberling

Because of the commercial pressures Hollywood places on filmmakers these days, many directors adopt a sort of "one for them, one for me" career strategy that allows them to exercise their creativity while maintaining a degree of viability at the box office. Brad Silberling, despite an array of films that really do run the gamut from intimate character studies to effects-laden opuses, seems to have effectively synthesized the two more and more effectively with each subsequent effort. Starting with straightforward studio fare like Casper, he quickly graduated to meatier projects, including the semi-autobiographical Moonlight Mile, before tackling an adaptation of the first book in Daniel Handler's Lemony Snicket series.
But he seems to have truly captured both his own creative idiosyncrasies and the demands of a summer blockbuster with Land of the Lost, a sprawling, bizarre big-screen reimagining of the Sid and Marty Krofft TV series from the 1970s.

Ah, I see that no nods will be given to the earnestness of the original show. This makes me sad: This show warped my tiny brain as a child with its talk of time warps and intelligent dinosaurs and such, and it would have been nice to see something that engaged the young geek in me again. (I guess I’ll have to make do with the complete box set of the original show, which’ll be released on Region 1 DVD on May 26. Woo-hoo! No sign of a Region 2 release -- sorry.)
Instead, I’ll just have to think of this as that movie from Brad Silberling, who made the intriguing Moonlight Mile and has now moved on to big-budget FX spectacles, in which the presence of Danny McBride is at least balanced out by that of Anna “Pushing Daisies” Friel.
Matt Lauer can suck it, though. And the walnut joke is kinda funny.

Having to hop around in the shower to get wet, It'll certainly be interesting to see how pregnancy affects "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo's body. One of the skinnier television stars to emerge indeed (before "90210" that is) in recent years, 39 year-old Pompeo, through her publicist, announced earlier today she was expecting her first child with husband, music producer Chris Ivery. "It's great news," Pompeo's rep, Jennifer Allen told People.com exclusively, adding "they're ecstatic."Pompeo, whose breakthrough performance came as Jake Gyllenhaal's love interest in Disney's 2002 cheese-fest "Moonlight Mile," met 41 year-old I

Must Watch: Full Teaser Trailer for Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost

For all of you who liked the Super Bowl TV spot, here is the full version of the teaser trailer for Land of the Lost. The movie stars Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, and Anna Friel, as well as SNL's Jorma Taccone. Based on the 1970's TV show, Land of the Lost follows the adventures of Park Ranger Rick Marshall, who inadvertently stumbles into a mysterious land populated by dinosaurs and other creatures, including the mysterious race of Sleestaks. This movie looks like it'll just be a bunch of CGI nonsense thrown together with some stupid humor. Personally, I'm not looking forward to it, but I expect it to be a big summer hit.

First Look at the Land of the Lost Super Bowl TV Spot!

Another brand new first look at footage from Universal's Land of the Lost has debuted early. Will Ferrell and Danny McBride star together in this prehistoric adventure based on the 1970's TV show. This is supposed to be clearly very cheesy , as that is what the original TV show was like, but honestly, this is starting to remind me a bit too much of Journey to the Center of the Earth, even though it's not in 3D. It could be fun but it's also looking way too stupid. Some people like that kind of comedy, I don't. And it looks like Will Ferrell is just playing himself yet again, which I'm also getting tired of seeing. Thoughts?
