Q: Can you please help us get more details on Luke Macfarlane's involvement in a Canadian movie Iron Road? He plays a straight guy who falls in love with a woman who was disguised as a boy and has a total nude scene which is gorgeous and sexy. -- Bclee
A: Who is this, the publicist for Iron Road? You’re a smart one. By getting me to publish your email on AfterElton.com, you should sell at least a few thousand extra copies of the movie.

Gay Of The Dead 18 – Land Of The Lost and Toolbox Murder’s Wesley Eure: Part 2
12 July 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
(In Part 1 of this interview (read it here), Wesley Eure recounted his days as a teen idol on Day Of Our Lives and Land Of The Lost, as well as his experiences on the sets of The Toolbox Murders and Jennifer. At this point in his acting career, Eure starts to feel the negative effects of being a gay actor in Hollywood.)
After Jennifer and C.H.O.M.P.S, there’s an eight year gap in Eure’s IMDb.com listing. As I tactfully dance around the subject – “So, right after C.H.O.M.P.S. there’s sort of a…things slowed down…uh, and I wonder…” – Eure jumps in. “What happened? Well, first I got fired from Days, I’m told because I’m gay. The producers didn’t say that explicitly. They gave me all sorts of excuses, like I was too short, I wasn’t aging enough and »

It was a pretty bloody week here at Fangoria. Updates on Piranha 3-D, The Final Destination, and Halloween II fought for the headlines, but none of them came close to the online storm caused by Megan Fox and Jennifer's Body.

Land Of The Lost | Review
10 June 2009 2:05 PM, PDT | SmellsLikeScreenSpirit | See recent SmellsLikeScreenSpirit news »
and Of The Lost is based on the classic television series of the same name created by Sid & Marty Krofft. This time around we get a moronic, misunderstood scientist Dr. Rick Marshall who by his own devises is sucked back through time and space into an alternate universe. Joining the routine expedition gone awry are research assistant Holly Cantrell who has been a long time follower and admirer of Dr. Marshall and desert survivalist/cave guide Will Stanton. The team must rely on their new primitive friend Chaka to guide them through this "land of the lost" as they encounter stalking lizard men called Sleestaks and evade a T.Rex with an attitude they name Grumpy who constantly pursues them. Rick, Holly, and Will must discover who the true evil behind this place really is and quickly find a way to get back home...or become permanent refugees. Land Of The Lost »

Parental Warning: Land Of The Lost Is Not Kid-Friendly
6 June 2009 8:05 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Right off the bat I’ll say I know I’ll take some heat for this article because I haven’t seen Land of the Lost myself, and no doubt lots of young adult non-parents will be rolling their eyes over the point of this article. However being a parent myself, I thought this was most definitely worth bringing up.
Just as “regular” people use movie reviews to decide whether to see a movie or not, I’ve been looking at reviews about this film - and based on them I’m writing up this warning for parents who may be planning on taking their young children to see this.
You may remember Land of the Lost as a cheesy, innocuous Saturday morning TV show from your youth - so when the film was announced, I (and you may have) figured it would run along the same lines. Will Ferrell is in it? »

Kevin Carr’s Weekly Report Card for 06.05.09
5 June 2009 10:57 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Land Of The Lost Studio: Universal Rated: PG-13 for crude and sexual content, and for language including a drug reference. Starring: Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Anna Friel, Jorma Taccone and Raymond Ochoa Directed by: Brad Silberling What it’s about: Dr. Rick Marshall (Will Farrell) has some pretty wacky theories about the universe, including the idea that a tachyon amplifier can send people through a time warp to a place where the past, present and future collide. One day, with his new research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck fireworks salesman named Will (Danny McBride), they accidentally open a portal that sparks the “greatest earthquake ever known” and sends them to the land of the lost. There, they battle dinosaurs and evil space lizards in order to try to make it back home. What I liked: Anyone who has watched the original series knows that it was a ridiculous and crappy piece of low-budget kids’ show »

News: Land Of The Lost Out (in more ways than one)
5 June 2009 10:36 AM, PDT | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
The big screen adaptation of Land Of The Lost opens today. Like many of Wil Ferrell's films, it seems to be an acquired taste, with a lackluster script helped by the raunchy humor of Ferrell and McBride, but it all adding up to not that much.
Roger Ebert says: "....Confronted with such effects, the actors make not the slightest effort to appear terrified, amazed or sometimes even mildly concerned. Some might consider that a weakness. I suspect it is more of a deliberate choice, and I say I enjoyed it."
Rolling Stone counters: "...Will Ferrell and Danny McBride can find the dumb fun in anything. Too bad that Land of the Lost is so much less than anything.
So it's up to you. After my morobid encounter with Terminator 4, I think I'm going to let this one wait until it hits DVD. As weak as the production values are for the original, »
Land of the Lost: What Happened to the TV Show Cameos?
5 June 2009 2:01 AM, PDT | TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news »
The new Land of the Lost movie is being released today. It's a parody of the 1974 series and stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel, Danny McBride, and Jorma Taccone. Though the tone is very different, the film does incorporate a lot of elements from the original TV show. The dreaded Sleestaks, monkey-boy Cha-Ka, and Grumpy the dinosaur are all along for the ride. Unfortunately, some other familiar faces from the TV show didn't make it to the big screen.
The original Land of the Lost TV series stars Spencer Milligan, Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, Ron Harper, and Philip Paley as Cha-Ka. It ran on Saturday mornings and revolves around an explorer father and his two children who find themselves transported to a strange alternate universe. The show ran for just three seasons and only 43 episodes were produced.
The show became so popular in syndication that a new version was created in 1991. It stars Timothy Bottoms, »

The Motion/Captured Interview: Danny McBride On 'Land Of The Lost'
4 June 2009 9:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
There are few conversations I look forward to as much as I do those few and far between excuses that come up to talk to Danny McBride. I just plain like that I work in an industry that figured him out. The idea of him co-starring in an adaptation of a Sid & Marty Krofft scifi kid's show with Will Ferrell and one of the Lonely Island guys is just plain strange. Sounds like they're just going to trash the show. But... they don't. This movie seems to happen in the real world of the show. But it's these guys, unleashed... »
Film: Review: Land Of The Lost
4 June 2009 1:54 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
While it’s true that great movies often leave audiences asking questions, confusion is hardly a litmus test for greatness. Land Of The Lost features a lot of talk about time travel and secret dimensions, but one question trumps the others: Who is this movie for? The film is strangely faithful to the Sid & Marty Krofft show it adapts, a Saturday-morning live-action staple fondly but faintly remembered by viewers planted in front of TVs between 1974 and 1977. But the show hardly demands a Watchmen-like fidelity. The film stars the reliably funny Will Ferrell and Danny McBride, but doesn ... »
Exclusive! Wesley Eure of TV's "Land of the Lost" Comes Out
3 June 2009 10:01 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
For many gay and bisexual men of a certain age, the first inkling that they weren’t like other boys came on Saturday mornings from 1974 to 1976, in the form of a television show called The Land of the Lost. The show, about a father and his two children who were stranded in a mysterious land of dinosaurs, also featured vicious, but curiously slow-moving reptilian humanoids called Sleestak. Now the classic kids’ program by Sid and Marty Krofft, the producers of H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, has even been made into a feature film starring Will Ferrell, opening this Friday.
But it wasn’t just the gloriously campy-even-at-the-time nature of the show itself that appealed to gay boys. It was also the fact that it featured the role of Will, the Marshall’s handsome teenage son, played by an actor billed only as “Wesley,” but whose full name is Wesley Eure. »

Interview: Land Of The Lost’s Original Will, Wesley Eure, Speaks!
3 June 2009 5:07 PM, PDT | thetorchonline | See recent thetorchonline news »
There still hasn't ever been anything quite like Land of the Lost. A live-action Saturday morning kids' show in the 1970s, Lost was produced by Sid and Marty Krofft, the creators of H.R. Pufnstuf and Sigmund and Sea Monsters, but it couldn't have been more different. Using a combination of stop-motion animation and men in rubber costumes, it told the story of a family trapped in a mysterious land of dinosaurs and curiously slow-moving reptilian humanoids called Sleestack. Since its original run from 1974 to 1976, the show's cult status has risen steadily -- mostly because all of the show's fans have grown up remembering it so fondly. »

DVD Playhouse—June 2009
By
Allen Gardner
The International (Sony) An Interpol agent (Clive Owen) joins forces with a Manhattan D.A. (Naomi Watts) to bring down an arms dealing ring and a corrupt global banking cartel that’s funding them. Superlative thriller was oddly ignored by critics and audiences alike, but expertly blends intelligence (courtesy screenwriter Eric Warren Singer’s masterfully-crafted script) and full-throttle action (director Tom Tykwer stages one of the great film shoot-outs in New York’s iconic Guggenheim Museum), making this dynamite thriller reminiscent of the best work from masters such as John Frankenheimer and Robert Aldrich. Armin Mueller-Stahl is wonderful as a world-weary covert op. Bonuses: Extended scene; Featurettes; Trailer. Widescreen. Dolby 5.1 surround.

New Trailer: Land Of The Lost -- And guess what, it looks really good
8 May 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Written by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Universal has just released a new trailer for their upcoming “Land of the Lost” movie and it’s below. As most of you know, I did a set visit for this film, and I’ve already posted tons of interviews with the cast. Here are some links: Danny McBride, Will Ferrell, Sid and Marty Krofft, director Brad Silberling, and Anna Friel. When I was on set I thought everything looked great. The people involved looked like they really cared about the world and the set I saw was incredible. And based on this very funny trailer, I think “Land of the Lost” is going to do much better than people think. After all, it’s a film that can play to families, and fans of Will Ferrell. Don’t believe me about the trailer? Then watch it for yourself and I dare you not to laugh. »
Exclusive First Look: 'Land of the Lost'
23 April 2009 11:00 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Filed under: Behind the Scenes
Visiting the set of 'Land of the Lost' on the Universal lot felt a little bit like being sucked into the same time and space vortex the movie's characters get transported through.
After walking through a sea of incredibly good-looking sleestaks (see below -- it's not just me who thinks they're hot), the soundstage doors opened and immediately welcomed us into the Land of the Lost. And not the campy '70s TV version either -- we're talking giant 100-foot rock formations, an altar with a fiery pit at the center of it and, of course, the movie's stars Will Ferrell, Anna Friel and Danny McBride.
Before the movie premieres on June 5, take a look at our video interviews with all the stars, as well as director Brad Silberling and charming co-creator Marty Krofft, and keep reading for our behind-the-scenes sneak peek. -- By Maggie »

Part one of my three-part set visit to Universal's "Land Of The Lost" went live on Monday over at Ain't It Cool. Today, I'm going to run the full text of my twenty minutes with Sid and Marty Krofft, the men most directly responsible for me eventually trying hallucinogens. Oh, sure, I've heard all of the denials over the years, and they'll repeat them in the interview you're about to read, but even if they continue to deny it forever, and even if they personally weren't under the influence, I can think of few people who have left behind a pop... »

Written by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub Many of you have no idea who Sid and Marty Krofft are. But to millions and millions of people, Sid and Marty Krofft are geniuses. That’s because these two brothers are the men responsible for a number of classic 70’s shows that still get watched to this day. Perhaps you’ve heard of a few of their shows…. H.R. Pufnstuf Land of the Lost Electra Woman and Dyna Girl Wonderbug The Bugaloos Sigmund and the Sea Monsters The Lost Saucer Lidsville The Banana Splits Adventure Hour So when I found out I was going to visit the set of “Land of the Lost” last June (here is my report) and Sid and Marty Krofft were going to be there and participate in interviews….needless to say, I was incredibly excited. While the shows they created aired before my time, I did watch them when »
Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost SuperBowl Ad
30 January 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Although this TV Spot is not exactly awesome I am still going to give the movie a chance. Below you can checkout the SuperBowl Ad for Land of the Lost. Will Ferrell stars in the remake of Land of the Lost, according to Amazon.com Land of the Lost was a staple of Saturday morning television in the 1970s, Land Of The Lost has subsequently achieved cult status, largely due to a strong word-of-mouth campaign. The puppetering effects of creators Sid & Marty Krofft were considered fairly revolutionary at the time, and although special effect techniques have vastly improved... »
