Dec 22 2008Will Ferrell Flees from Dinosaur (Artist's Rendering) in 'Land of the Lost' Poster
I don't want this to sound like I'm being disparaging towards dinosaur paintings--I am anything but negative towards dinosaur paintings, having once purchased a Sega Genesis game solely because of its dinosaur painting cover--but I'm not sure a photograph of real people fleeing from what is obviously a dinosaur painting works as a movie poster. Call me old fashioned on the subject of marrying paint and flesh. Either paint the Will Ferrell too or step up the CGI on the dinosaur.
And on the subject of that Dinosaurs for Hire game that was formerly a short-lived comic about 20th century dinosaur mercenaries: you missed an obvious one, Hollywood.
(Thanks, Zyclonis.)

Jesus! Is that the "you got a Hemi" guy in the back?

It might actually be an ad for a Universal Studios ride that Will Ferrell will be hosting for one to two months of summer '09.

The ONLY way I will watch this movie is if they put Doctor Steel's song "Land of the Lost" on the soundtrack.
DO YOU HEAR ME, CORPORATE ASSHATS?
Otherwise, I mostly hate Will Ferrell.

@6 I was thinking the exact same thing. When I saw Will Ferrell was doing Land Of The Lost, I thought, this guy must have been a huge fan. First Jay and Gay Bob stike back, and now this.

I'm actually more concerned with how many moons are in the poster.
Wasn't Land of the Lost supposed to be set on earth?

Actually dinosaur soldier/mercs was supposed to be the plot of Jurassic Park IV, with that (hopefully) dead, maybe Dinosaurs for Hire will finally get the day it is oh so due.

In all honesty, I'm looking forward to this one more than I am the Star Trek movie. At least this one will no doubt be intentionally stupid. :)

@Glenn: No, and I'm embarrassed that I know this, the Land of the Lost is not on Earth. In the original series, it was an extremely small micro-universe, with it's own timeline and inhabitants, some of which did and did not exist on Earth. Dinosaurs, various stages of homonid evolution, and modern humans (from recent history) were there, but only because of some bridge between the two universes.
