The new version of LOST IN SPACE has found itself a home on The WB. The froggy network won the right to broadcast the updated version of Irwin Allen's sci-fi family adventure by ponying up more than $2 million bucks. The pilot was written by former BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER writer Doug Petrie and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 2 helmer John Woo's production company, Lion Rock Productions, is also involved. Woo will likely direct the pilot episode.

The new LOST IN SPACE will stand on its own and not be a direct connection to the 1997 New Line Cinema movie or the 60s TV show. While the show will still be about a futuristic family from the year 2097 that gets lost in remote outer space, there won't be a mischievious Dr. Smith character in the group (but there will be a family robot.) Any chance we'll see shiny silver jumpsuits?
