A Photo from Land of the Lost

Land of the Lost, a family comedy based on the 1974-77 television series of the same name, will star Will Ferrell and Pushing Daisies actress Anna Friel.

The series revolved around forest ranger Rick Marshall and his children, Will and Holly, who are caught in a time vortex while rafting on the Colorado River and transported to a mysterious world populated by dinosaurs.

Here's a look an early photo from the film:

The X-Files: I Want to Believe Stars Speak on Reprising Roles

As The X-Files: I Want to Believe gets closer to its release date, the film's two stars are making the publicity rounds.

Earlier this week, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson spoke with Dark Horizons about getting back into the roles they made so famous.

Question: Can you talk about getting back into these characters after a five or six year period?

Duchovny: Well, I had two weeks before Christmas of basically running around and chasing Callum Rennie who plays the running bad guy that I chase all over the place. That took a good two full weeks of running even though I know it's only about ten seconds in the movie and then Gillian and I started working on it after Christmas break.

The first two weeks I felt a little awkward and I didn't really feel like I wanted to do longer scenes. I was just fine running around. Then as soon as Gillian and I started working and it was Mulder and Scully, then I kind of remembered what it was all about and that relationship kind of anchored my performance just as I think the relationship anchors this film.

Mulder and Scully are back in The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

Anderson: I had a similar experience. This feels so weird. Summertime. I didn't have all the running around that David had to do, but I did have my own unfortunate beginning which was starting with one of the most difficult scenes for Scully in the film where it's later on in the script and she goes through a range of emotions in confronting Billy Connolly's character. I just had a really hard time for those first couple of days.

I had a really hard time just finding her, finding her voice. I think I must've gone through ten other characters in the process of trying to get to her when I had assumed that I would be able to show up on the first day and it would just be there. It wasn't until I think day three when we got to work together, not just necessarily in a familiar environment which it really wasn't, but in the environment of each other and the relationship and that it kind of felt natural and familiar and I felt like I'd landed this time.

Will Ferrell and Adam McKay Fuel Anchorman 2 Rumors

Wrier Adam McKay has teamed up again with Will Ferrell for the upcoming comedy Step Brothers.

When these two sat down with ComingSoon.net to discuss that project, however, focus turned to the exciting possibility of a follow-up to an earlier film that focused on a certain, arrogant, clueless news man.

"We just had so much fun making that movie, and it was hard to get made, but what's been great is that it's taken on such a life of its own," Ferrell said about Anchorman, while hinting at the possibility of a sequel. "At least the feedback we get is it's beloved, so yeah, it's just one of those that feels like an evergreen thing that we can go back and do it again."

He Looks Good!!!

Ron Burgundy gets himself ready for an Anchorman sequel.

McKay also commented on the rumors of Anchorman 2.

"We had a lot of ideas," McKay said. "The opportunity to be that free and loose. The audience would give us a lot of rope with that character at this point, a lot of free rein. They all know it, and they all know it's going to get crazy, and that's just too tempting. It's like oh my God, where can we go? What's the next level of this idea we can push to?"

A suggestion of showing Ron in the 1980s has been flloated, McKay added.

"We got about seven ideas we're kicking around right now, so somewhere out of all of them, it will somehow fit together."

Happy Birthday, Willem Dafoe!

Willem Dafoe turns 55 today.

While not an A-list actor, Dafoe has been in the news these days because talk of a Boondock Saints sequel is prominent. The original was the film that catapulted Dafoe onto the Hollywood radar.

Aside from that cult classic, Dafoe has found commercial success with the Spider-Man franchise.

Screenwriter Teases New Batman Villain, The Dark Knight Follow-Up

Let It Burn

Screenwriter David Goyer told MTV over the weekend that he has an idea of what Batman 3 (can we call it that? Perhaps we should leave it as just a follow-up to The Dark Knight?) will be about.

He admits, however, that the prospects for the film are daunting, especially considering the rave reviews the last two have received.

“I think that’s the scariest thing – to think, could we come up with a third movie that was as good as the first two? Can we top ourselves?” Goyer asked aloud. “Doing it a third time would be a big proposition.”

Don't be fooled, of course: there will be another Batman movie.

Goyer even mentioned that he has a villian in mind for it, but: “I do think, though, that if there’s not a third film – these two movies stand on their own... I think it could go either way.”

Again, just to reiterate: there will be a third film. Have no fear.

When the second one sets a box office record, that's pretty much a no-brainer.

Special Effects Supervisor Goes Inside The X-Files: I Want to Believe

For Andres Dominguez, there's no business like snow business.

The special effects guru - who has worked on movies such as Seven Years in Tibet, Fantastic Four and X-Men: The Last Stand - recently spoke to The Los Angeles Times about his work on The X-Files: I Want to Believe:

Winter wonderland: While shooting on location in downtown Vancouver, Dominguez says his initial instruction was to make the set look "like Alaska: completely covered." But the city doesn't get a lot of snowfall, so budget restraints kept the shoot limited to melty snow drifts.

"We ended up with a look where it had snow on the sidewalks and the streets are kind of wet," he said.

Mulder makes his way through (fake) snow in The X-Files: I Want to Believe.

So, how does one even go about manufacturing snow?

"To make snow, you need lots of air and high-pressure water," Dominguez said, adding that ideal temperature conditions are "if the weather's below zero [Celsius] and low humidity. So when it was minus 10, the machine was running full on... If you do a flat area, you can probably put a layer of snow 4 inches high in five hours."

Crazy Movie Rumor of the Day: Top Gun 2 Planned

Take this with a grain of salt the size of Tom Cruise's ego.

But Great Britain's The Sun reports that Mr. Katie Holmes has been asked to reprise his role as Maverick for a Top Gun sequel.

Would you line up to watch Top Gun 2?

A script outline has supposedly been written, as the sequel just depends on Cruise giving his approval.

“The idea is Maverick is at the Top Gun school as an instructor — and this time it is he who has to deal with a cocky new female pilot,” said an insider.
