Netflix Dives Into Prehistoric Mayhem With a New LAND OF THE LOST Reboot — GeekTyrant
Looks like Netflix is headed into dinosaur territory again as Land of the Lost is officially getting a reboot. According to Variety, the series is in early development, with no writer currently attached.
Original series creators Sid and Marty Krofft are back on board as executive producers, with Deanna Krofft Pope also producing. Legendary Television will handle production duties.
The reboot marks yet another move by the streamer to breathe new life into vintage TV properties, and for fans of the weird and wild, Land of the Lost is about as wild and weird as it gets!
Originally debuting on NBC in 1974, Land of the Lost followed the Marshall family, Rick and his two kids, Will and Holly, who find themselves stuck in an alternate dimension crawling with dinosaurs, strange alien ruins, and the iconic lizard-like Sleestaks.
It only ran for three seasons but managed to cement itself as a cult classic thanks to its inventive effects, psychedelic world-building, and sheer Saturday-morning charm. I remember watching reruns of this as a kid, and I loved the show!
The show featured Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, and Spencer Milligan as the Marshalls, with Philip Paley playing Cha-Ka, a friendly Pakuni. And yes, it was every bit as bizarre and awesome as that sounds.
Land of the Lost has been rebooted before with a short-lived 1991 version that aired on ABC, and most famously, it was turned into a 2009 movie starring Will Ferrell, which leaned hard into the comedy and was met with mixed reactions.
Netflix has been on a bit of a nostalgia streak lately. In addition to Land of the Lost , it's currently producing a Little House on the Prairie reboot and recently ordered a pilot for a Different World follow-up. Past revivals like Lost in Space , One Day at a Time , and Good Times have shown the streamer isn't afraid to revisit old favorites and try new angles.
There's no word yet on casting or timeline, but if Netflix plays this right, we might just get a Land of the Lost that blends the original's high-concept adventure with the kind of modern sci-fi flair today's audiences are hungry for.

Frank Reynolds Crashes Middle-earth in Unhinged LORD OF THE RINGS Mashup Video — GeekTyrant
If you've ever wanted to watch Middle-earth descend into absolute degeneracy, this 'It's Always Sunny in Middle-Earth' video delivers with chaotic precision. In this deranged fan edit by Your_Kryptonite7, Danny DeVito's Frank Reynolds stumbles straight out of Philly and into The Lord of the Rings , turning Tolkien's epic into a fever dream of gunfire, profanity, and gross bodily concerns. Frank doesn't care about rings or destiny, he's here to harass Gollum about STDs, ask Sauron if he can resurrect his 'dead whore wife,' and generally cause the kind of havoc that would make even Saruman think twice. It's like watching a trash goblin invade a poetry recital, and it hilariously works.

New M3GAN 2.0 Featurette Teases a 'bigger,' 'badder,' and 'bloodier' Sequel — GeekTyrant
Universal Pictures has released a new featurette for Blumhouse's M3GAN 2.0 , and it offers a behind-the-scene look at the upcoming crazy robot vs. robot action comedy horror film. The video features interviews with the cast and crew and they tease a 'bigger', badder,' and 'bloodier' sequel 'in the best way'. The movie also look even more ridiculous than the first one. The film takes place two years after M3GAN , 'a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules. 'Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. 'With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.' James Wan is producing the film for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and Gerard Johnstoneis back to direct the next wild chapter of A.I. robot mayhem. Akela Cooper ( Malignant, M3GAN ) returned to write the script. The upcoming horror sequel co-stars returning cast members Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma's loyal tech teammates, Cole and Tess, and new characters played by Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp and Jemaine Clement. M3GAN 2.0 will be released in theaters on June 27, 2025.
