A more accurate description would be that Ferrell joked about his upcoming LAND OF THE LOST adaptation, the actor being cast last week. The film would be based off the popular 70's show created by Sid & Marty Krofft. Brad Silberling (Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events) will be handling the directing duties.

Here's what Ferrell had to say on the project to Heather Newgen..

"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, he 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."

I love Will Ferrell. He makes me laugh so hard milk comes out of my nose. Even when I'm not drinking milk. I can't wait for this(or any other Ferrell)movie. When I look at the old show, it also makes me laugh, but I'm not laughing with it.

Going by what he's saying I'm down for this. I like him as a supporting actor where I think he does his best work. When he's the lead he usually looses me halfway through the film. Still I'm looking forward to this. Just don't make it a straight up comedy.

My understanding is that this has almost nothing in common with the original material. No Marshal, no Will and no Holly - only Ferrell's Marshal Willinholly

I think this will be a good one too. I really liked Brad's Lemony Snicket movie. I just wish it did better so that they would adapt the rest of those books instead of just the first three. Now, the kids in that are growing up fast.

Anyway, are there any pics of what the sleestacks will look like in this new version?

didnt anybody learn a lesson from Bewitched? Please. and his statement that it will be a "jurassic Park" scares me.. since that wasnt what the show originally was... and his other comment about the movie "hopefully being funny"... the show wasnt a comedy, Sid & Marty Krofft took it as seriously as could be expected for a non-cartoon show on 70's saturday morning show with dinosaurs and Sleestacks... I still think Ferrell is wrong for this one.
