Land of the Lost - Brad Silberling revives Jimmy Livingston's favourite show

As all Gyllenhaalics know, Land of the Lost was the favourite show of both Jimmy Livingston and his love Chloe and the release of the remake in American theatres last Friday has the excellent side-effect of renewed attention in Bubble Boy. In Bubble Boy, we can headbang along to Jake giving his Rock of Ages audition.



Jake even gets to play a cameo in a dream sequence episode of Land of the Lost, although Nasty Mark is the one who saves Chloe from the TRex, all because he has Immunities. Despite this being a dream sequence, the special effects are just as pleasing as in the original, because, as Jimmy and Chloe say 'That's the point'. Let's hope Will Ferrell and director Brad Silberling - Yes, Brad Silberling of Moonlight Mile - do it justice.






It's not every day you get to see Jake Gyllenhaal being chased by a dinosaur, which is probably just as well. Just as well for Jake too judging by his dinosaur issues - Jake's worst class at Columbia was his dinosaur class: 'Actually, my grades were pretty good, except for the `F' I got in my class on dinosaurs. That was the hardest class I ever took' (Orange County Register 2001).
