Here's its preview, which also debuted during Super Bowl XLIII:

On June 5, 2009, movie goers will enter 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:

Land of the Lost will be released on July 17, 2009.

At a recent press day for his upcoming comedy Step Brothers, ReelzChannel asked Will Ferrell for a few details about his highly anticipated adaptation of Land of the Lost.

"I think it's a great blend of paying homage to the show mixed with what I think could be a different genre, this kind of adventure comedy where we really use the adventure to set up the comedy and we're able to comment on these situations that you would love to see characters comment on," Ferrell said.

Land of the Lost will be released in July of 2009.

Anna Friel has signed on to star with Will Ferrell in the light-hearted comedy Land of the Lost.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal's Peter Cramer and Eric Baiers are overseeing the project with Brad Silberling directing.

Friel - who stars in the adorable ABC series Pushing Daisies - will play the love interest of Ferrell, a disgraced paleontologist who finds himself in a strange prehistoric world.

Earlier this week, ComingSoon.net got a chance to talk to Will Ferrell about Universal's upcoming Land of the Lost. Based on Sid & Marty Krofft's 1970s TV series of the same name.

The movie revolves around a disgraced paleontologist, his assistant and a macho tour guide who find themselves in a strange world inhabited by dinosaurs, monkey people and reptilian Sleestaks.

We'd buy tickets already if we could.

"It's going to be kind of on the tone of The English Patient, but with horribly frightening realistic dinosaurs. In fact, we only survive for 12 minutes of the film. It's going to be more like a nature documentary," Ferrell joked.

On a more serious note, the actor said the movie is "going to be kind of hopefully Jurrasic Park in terms of the quality. It's not going to be so much a spoof. It's going to be as real as possible and hopefully funny."

The flick will be released in July, 2009.
