One of the biggest movie surprises of 2009 was that Brad Silberling's uncalled-for film adaptation of the 1970s Sid and Marty Krofft Saturday morning adventure show, "Land of the Lost," was not a waste of its talents' time. Though the film wasn't a creative high point for any of its cast members, they were all sublimely game for what Silberling and the screenwriting duo of Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas were attempting. And while everyone is in fine form, it's hard to deny that Taccone steals the film as a mischievous, dirty-minded Chaka who keeps trying to get Ferrell's Dr. Rick Marshall killed.

Unfortunately, few moviegoers were in the mood...

When Steven Spielberg’s groundbreaking 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park roared into theaters, audiences knew it would be big. Few realized it would forever reshape the landscape of filmmaking. Already one of Hollywood’s most revered directors, Spielberg broke new ground and delivered sights no one had imagined possible. In similar groundbreaking fashion, director Gareth Edwards has made a significant mark in the world of cinema.

By fusing cutting-edge CGI with practical effects, Spielberg didn’t just resurrect dinosaurs. He made them believable. Far from the campy...

As Netflix works on reviving this 1970s cult classic sci-fi favorite from half a century ago, a special treat awaits fans, and it comes at just the right time. Land of the Lost, which premiered on September 7, 1974, on NBC, has now been made available to stream for absolutely free ahead of its reboot’s arrival. The show was produced by Sid and Marty Krofft, who co-developed it with Allan Foshko, while David Gerrold, though uncredited, created it.

Comprising three seasons and 43 episodes, Land of the Lost is currently streaming on YouTube free with ads, almost fifty years since the show’s final episode aired on December 4, 1976. Since then, many have placed the adventure series in high regard, despite being somewhat cheesy, and even during its run, it was generally well-received, especially by kids and those who enjoyed its adventurous and imaginative storylines.

Given its impressive reception, CBS used Land of the Lost...

A new report revealed Netflix's perfect replacement series for Stranger Things after the series is set to conclude its run in 2025. Stranger Things took the world by storm in 2016 by introducing a unique science fiction horror story set in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Anchored by a group of kids and a mysterious outsider named Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown), the story introduces a world known as the Upside Down, where creatures like the Demogorgon and the Mind Flayer exist. 

Through four seasons, Stranger Things became a massive success due to finding the right balance between comedy and drama, its impactful story, and embracing nostalgia. As the series inches closer to its curtain call, a newfound replacement for Stranger Things is set to emerge from the shadows as Netflix looks to develop a remake of another classic TV series.

Star Trek fans from around the globe are set to descend upon Las Vegas early next month for Creation Entertainment’s annual mega-convention. The event will take place from August 6-10 at the Rio All-Suites Hotel and Casino. It’s essentially one-stop shopping for Star Trek fans, as Creation gathers together talent from across the entire franchise, from The Original Series to Strange New Worlds, from the animated shows to the live-action features, including actors, writers, producers, directors, stunt people, makeup artists, and more.

In recent years, Creation has started to welcome talent from other popular sci-fi franchises, including Galaxy Quest, Battlestar Galactica, and more. The 2025 event will be no exception. And that doesn’t even begin to touch on all the other activities within the event, among them photo ops, autographs, panels, costume contests, live staged readings, auctions, karaoke, parties, etc.

Netflix is joining forces with Legendary Entertainment to breathe new life into the beloved 1970s sci-fi adventure series Land of the Lost, according to a report from Deadline.

The reboot is still in the early stages of development, with the studios currently searching for writers to shape the new vision.

Originally debuting in 1974, Land of the Lost quickly carved out a unique space in the landscape of classic science fiction television.

The series followed the Marshall family, father Rick and his two children, Will and Holly, whose peaceful white-water rafting trip takes a shocking turn when an earthquake sends them tumbling into a bizarre, prehistoric realm.

This mysterious dimension, both dangerous and awe-inspiring, was filled with dinosaurs, ancient ruins, and strange creatures, capturing the imaginations of young viewers with every episode.

Netflix is reportedly looking to embark on a brand-new expedition to the Land of the Lost after closing a deal with Legendary Television, the studio behind Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and HBO epic Dune: Prophecy, to bring the beloved property back to the small screen. The project is said to be in the very early stages of development, with the plan being to reboot the cult-classic sci-fi series, which aired for three seasons on CBS from 1974 to 1976, following the adventures of the Marshall family in a strange, pre-historic world.

The original series was created by David Gerrold and produced by Sid and Marty Krofft, who co-developed the popular Saturday morning children's show with Allan Foshko. Marty died in 2023, but his brother Sid, together with Marty's daughter, Deanna Krofft, who is the VP of Development and Production at their company, will reportedly produce Netflix's new take on the Land of the Lost.

Fans of Netflix’s hit show Wednesday can now apply to join the eerie Nevermore Academy, a fictional school for Outcasts like Werewolves, Vampires, Sirens, Gorgons, and DaVincis. Nestled near Jericho, Vermont, this 200-year-old institution welcomes those who feel out of place in the “normie” world.

With the second season of Wednesday set to premiere in August, excitement is building for what’s next at the spooky academy.

The show’s upcoming season introduces big changes. A new principal, Barry Dort, played by Steve Buscemi, takes charge following the dramatic exit of Principal Larissa Weems. Buscemi appears in a welcome video on NevermoreAcademy.com, where fans can also take a quiz to discover their Outcast power and hunt for hidden easter eggs.

A new Harold & Kumar movie is in the works, bringing back the iconic stoner duo for another wild ride. The project is being written by Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, the creative team behind Netflix’s Cobra Kai. Hurwitz and Schlossberg, who wrote the original 2004 film Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, will also direct this sequel, produced by Lionsgate’s Mandate Pictures.

John Cho and Kal Penn are expected to return as Harold and Kumar, though their contracts are still pending. It’s unclear if Neil Patrick Harris, who stole scenes as himself in the earlier films, will make an appearance.

The movie is in early stages but promises to deliver the same R-rated, chaotic humor that made the franchise a cult hit. “We’re fired up to bring Harold and Kumar back in a return to the unapologetically R-rated, smoke-filled chaos that started it all,...

Netflix is remaking the 1974 dinosaur cult classic series Land of the Lost. The original science-fiction adventure show aired for three seasons on CBS from 1974-1976 and followed the Marshall family as they navigated a world containing dinosaurs and other memorable creatures. The first reboot occurred in 1991 and ran for two seasons on ABC. The second reboot was a Will Ferrell movie released in 2009 that featured him playing Rick Marshall, along with roles played by Anna Friel and Danny McBride.

According to Deadline, Netflix is now looking to remake Land of the Lost after finalizing a deal with Legendary Television. Sid and Marty Krofft, who worked on the original series, will produce the Netflix remake alongside Marty's daughter Deanna Krofft Pope, who is the current COO of their production company. Development of the remake is still in very early stages and a search for a writer has already begun.

What This...

A classic cult TV series may be the newest property to get a fantastic new Netflix revival! There’s a tendency for streamers to look to the past for new takes on classic TV shows. Netflix has certainly shown that with new versions of older shows such as Lost in Space, Good Times, and One Day At a Time.

Now, Deadline reports that development is underway for Netflix to produce a new version of the 1970s fantasy kids series Land of the Lost. It will come from Sid and Marty Krofft, the pair originally behind the series, and Deanna Krofft Pope, with Legendary Entertainment producing.

It should be noted that as of yet, neither Netflix or Deadline have confirmed or denied the reports. This is only the early stages, according to Deadline’s sources, meaning no writer yet or ideas on the episode count and obviously nowhere near casting its leads.

The 1970’s adventure TV series “Land of the Lost”, created by David Gerrold for producers Sid and Marty Krofft, is being rebooted as a new series for Netflix:

“…in ‘Land of the Lost’ the ‘Marshall’ family (father ‘Rick’ and his children ‘Will’ and ‘Holly’), are trapped in an alternate universe/time warp inhabited by dinosaurs, a primate-like people called ‘Pakuni’ and aggressive humanoid/lizard creatures called ‘Sleestak’…”

The project, reported by Deadline, is in its early stages, with Sid and Marty Krofft, the original creators, producing alongside Deanna Krofft Pope, COO of their company. The team is currently searching for a writer to shape the updated series.

The original show, which aired on NBC from 1974 to 1976 and later on CBS, followed Rick Marshall and his children, Will and Holly, who stumbled through a portal into a mysterious world.

Netflix is ready to plunge into a classic science-fiction adventure with a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft’s 1974 TV series Land of the Lost. According to Deadline, the streamer is joining forces with Sid and Marty Krofft’s production company and Marty’s daughter, Deanna Krofft Pope, VP of Development and Production at their studio, to bring the beloved property back to small screens. Deadline says the Land of the Lost reboot is in its “very early stages” of development, with the search for a writer alive and well.

1974’s Land of the Lost revolves around a father, Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan), and his two children, Will Marshall (Wesley Eure) and Holly Marshall (Kathy Coleman), who accidentally travel through a portal to a bizarre land populated by dinosaurs, lizard people, and other dangerous creatures that would sooner have them for dinner than let them discover a way to get home.

It’s early, and we don’t have details, but it seems like a good time to tell you that half a century later, I still want a baby dinosaur as a playtime buddy.

That’s the power Land of the Lost had over me as a kid.

In case anyone was wondering: yes, Gen X did rule the airwaves, and now our favorite prehistoric fever dream might be clawing its way back into the cultural conversation.

Netflix wants to get lost in a classic sci-fi adventure series from the 1970s. The streamer has closed a deal with Legendary Television for a new Land of the Lost remake.

According to Deadline, the show's original creators, Sid and Marty Krofft, as well as the latter's daughter, Deanna Krofft Pope, will produce the remake, which is in very early stages at Netflix and Legendary. A writer is currently being sought to script the series, which is once again expected to follow the Marshall family as they accidentally go through a portal and find themselves trapped in a world inhabited by dinosaurs, primate-like people named Pakuni, and reptilian humanoids called Sleestak.

The original Land of the Lost ran for three seasons and 43 episodes on NBC from September 1974 to December 1976. Despite its relatively short run, Land of the Lost became a cult classic, leading to a short-lived reboot on ABC in the early 1990s.

A new reboot of a cult classic science fiction adventure series is coming to Netflix. Deadline reports that Land of the Lost, a 1970s kidvid favorite about a modern family stranded in a prehistoric wilderness, is getting a reboot courtesy of Netflix and Legendary Television. The short-lived series already inspired a reboot series in the 1990s, and a big-screen comedy adaptation starring longtime fan Will Ferrell.

The original series was the brainchild of Sid and Marty Krofft, a pair of Canadian TV auteurs who made a huge splash in kids' TV in the 1970s, with projects like Lidsville, Far Out Space Nuts, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, and H.R. Pufnstuf. Their work was characterized by slapstick humor, surreal puppet creatures, and low-budget chroma-key special effects; their shows have earned the duo a cult following among Generation X. Marty died in 2023, but Sid Krofft and Marty’s daughter,...

A reboot of “Land of the Lost” is in early development at Netfilx, Variety has learned from sources.

Original series co-creators Sid and Marty Krofft are attached as executive producers, with Deanna Krofft Pope also set to produce. Legendary Television will produce. No writer is currently attached.

Netflix declined to comment.

The original “Land of the Lost” debuted in 1974, running for three seasons on NBC. The Kroffts co-created the show with Allan Foshko. The show followed Rick Marshall and his children, Will and Holly. The family becomes trapped in an alternate dimension inhabited by dinosaurs and a variety of bizarre creatures, including the lizard-like villainous Sleestaks.

The show starred Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, and Spencer Milligan. Philip Paley starred as Cha-Ka, a member of the primate-like Pakuni who befriends the Marshalls.

Though it only had a short run on TV, “Land of the Lost” has developed a cult following over the years.

Walter Koenig reveals he almost became a writer on Star Trek: The Next Generation until he realized "It was never going to happen." Koenig portrayed the iconic Pavel Chekov in Star Trek: The Original Series and in seven Star Trek movies. Koenig is also a talented writer who has penned episodes of television series like Land of the Lost and the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode, "The Infinite Vulcan."

While reviewing Star Trek: The Original Series' season 2's classic episode, "The Trouble With Tribbles" on The 7th Rule podcast, Walter Koenig told hosts Cirroc Lofton and Ryan T. Husk about issues he once had with the episode's writer, David Gerrold. After becoming friends with Gerrold, Koenig wrote for David's show, Land of the Lost, before Walter was invited to pitch stories for Star Trek: The Next Generation. Unfortunately, Koenig's bid to write for Tng got as far as Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry.

The Bride of Chucky star died Tuesday in hospice care in Los Angeles, according to TMZ, as his niece Kayse Gale confirmed the death in a Facebook post paying tribute to her uncle. A cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

“It is with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin (see what I did there?) that we announce the sudden passing of our uncle Ed Gale has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife,” started Kayse in the post.

Ed Gale, the actor known for playing the role of Howard the Duck in Marvel's 1986 cult classic and the original demonic doll Chucky in Child's Play, has died at the age of 61.

His niece, Kayse Gale, shared a lengthy post on Facebook which said, “It is with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin (see what I did there?) that we announce the sudden passing of our uncle, Ed Gale. Ed Gale has taken his final bow and is now headlining in the afterlife. Ed hitched a ride to California when he was twenty years old, with $41 and a dream, and he never looked back.

Actor Ed Gale, best known for portraying the iconic characters Howard the Duck and Chucky, has passed away. He was 61 years old.

Per Variety, Gale's death was announced by his niece, Kayse Gale, with a post shared on social media. The specific cause of death was not named, though Gale's death was said to be "sudden." She also included a statement looking back at the life and career of her "fun uncle," who managed to find success as a working actor in Hollywood when he arrived in California with big dreams early in life.

"It is with a heavy heart and a surprisingly light coffin (see what I did there?) that we announce the sudden passing of our uncle, Ed Gale," the statement reads.

The 70s were a time when television would seem to try anything at least once. Science Fiction was one of the main genres where this was very true. Thanks to the success of series like Star Trek, and Lost in Space there was a deluge of, off beat and actually good genre TV (as we explored on last week’s Land of the Lost episode). Typically it was with some sort of toy tie-in or angle to get children to watch and/or buy something. And just wait until Star Wars happened.

But, the early 70s would find a new kind of hero to grab the hearts and minds of kids across the country and he’d bring with him some of the coolest toys around. Because, he was literally made up of metal and plastic himself.

The Six Million Dollar Man would jump into television history with a premise that was brilliant,...

The May 4 series finale of HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones marked the end of a grand experiment for its creator and star. Tired of the whiplash that came with shooting his previous series Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals back east, Danny McBride and his wife formally relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, with their two sons in 2017. That’s where he wrote, filmed and finished his end of postproduction on all four seasons of the megachurch comedy.

“Nobody would ever let us shoot in town,” McBride says of Los Angeles. “We were always just barely given permission to do stuff. And we had to find the rebates. It got to the point where it was like, ‘Why are we living in L.A. just to work in a writers room?’ ”

As California production tanks, it’s hard to not look at McBride’s move as ahead of its time. The actor and showrunner,...

Brad Silberling's 2009 film "Land of the Lost" was a feature-length spoof of the 1974 NBC adventure series co-created by Sid & Marty Krofft. The Krofft shows of the '70s and '80s were all fantasy programs that typically centered on parallel universes, fun puppets, and wild monster costumes. 

Their "Land of the Lost," which ran for 43 episodes over its three seasons, was the Kroffts' headiest, least comedic series. It followed the adventures of Rick (Spencer Milligan) and his kids Will (Wesley Eure) and Holly (Kathy Coleman) as they accidentally crash through a dimensional portal while whitewater rafting. They arrived in a prehistoric world overrun by dinosaurs and a species of Sasquatch-like protohumans called Pakuni. There are also wicked, threatening humanoid reptiles in this universe called Sleestaks who live in a series of underground chambers. There are magical crystals in the caves, as well as mysterious obelisks that may have the...

Exclusive: Emmy-nominated Erinn Hayes has been tapped as the female lead opposite Scott Foley in It’s Not Like That, a faith-based drama at Prime Video. Additionally, Brad Silberling has signed on to direct the pilot.

Created by Ian Deitchman and Kristin Robinson, who also serve as showrunners, It’s Not Like That follows Lori (Hayes), who is freshly divorced with two teens. Malcolm’s (Foley) a minister and recently widowed dad of three. Their families once did everything together, but now Lori and Malcolm must navigate their newly minted singledom, parenthood and the complexities of Malcolm being a modern-day minister. Is this the beginning of a love story? It’s not like that. Or is it?

It’s Not Like That, from Wonder Project, was given a cast-contingent series order at Prime Video last November and Foley’s casting, announced in February, lifted that contingency.

For those who live in temperate climates, the coming of spring can mean complete release from the winter blues, the decluttering of homes, and a whole lot more time spent absorbing vitamin D. Flowers bloom, birds sing, and the foliage offers a sense that all is continuing apace. For some, it also means revisiting Danny McBride's great achievement (co-created by Jody Hill and Ben Best), Eastbound & Down. Kenny Powers' (McBride) fall-rise-fall-rise journey from baseball superstar to hometown shame -- "I hurt my nose" -- is like a cold beer on a hot night. It's a show in which anything could and often did happen.

Across four seasons of relatively low-stakes storytelling blown out of proportion by the lead's delirious ego, it was apparent that HBO had something on their hands that they have kept a firm grasp on ever since. The gem, so to speak, was and remains Danny McBride,...

As the journey of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory approaches its end, it comes with the realization there is a 51-year-old sci-fi classic that is prime for the Camp Cretaceous treatment. Whether it is Barney & Friends, The Land Before Time TV series, or even The Flintstones, dinosaurs have often captured the imagination and made for great television. However, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous proved to be an ambitious series, not only as one of the first TV shows based on Jurassic Park but also in its storytelling. It delivered high-stakes survival, emotional depth, and world-building worthy of the Jurassic Park name. But long before Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Land of the Lost stomped onto Saturday mornings. Delivering stories of family, survival, and surreal sci-fi adventures,...

The 1960s and '70s were a turbulent time in myriad aspects for people all over the world. The United States was mired in a pointless war in Vietnam, while, at home, the nation's young populace were taking to the streets to protest this conflict as well as to show support for the Civil Rights Movement, women's equality, and other social/political causes. As often occurs during such highly contentious times, art got revolutionary and deeply weird.

Inspired by experimentation with consciousness-altering substances like marijuana and acid, artists in a variety of media explored psychedelia with gleefully reckless abandon. The Beatles recorded "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," Dennis Hopper made "Easy Rider," and designers incorporated the loud, swirling colors of this creative movement into clothing and home fashions. Shag carpeting became a thing, and people dug it so much they put it on their walls. The whole world had gone groovy,...

Alright, just hear me out. Will Ferrell hit it big with SNL and has made some true classics such as Elf, Stranger Than Fiction, and Anchorman. While that phase of his career was all great and polished, the style of his sometimes crass and all-time dumb humor hit its pinnacle in the mid and late 2000s and 2010s with films like Step Brothers and Talladega Nights.

Taking characters who were fringe personality types was a masterstroke from Ferrell. He did the same, but on a much larger and disastrous scale, with the adventure comedy Land of the Lost. It was a box office bomb and received only negative reviews from critics but I feel it is still hilarious when you look at it through the right lens.

A lawsuit against Adam McKay, his production company and Netflix accusing them of ripping off a self-published novel in Don’t Look Up has been barred from moving forward.

She allowed the book’s author an opportunity to fix his claims and refile the complaint, according to the ruling issued on Thursday.

Roger Ebert was never afraid to go against the grain. While most critics loved films like A Clockwork Orange, Gladiator, The Usual Suspects and The Elephant Man, Ebert gave them a big thumbs down. It went the other way as well, though. Far Out Magazine recently noted a number of terrible movies that Ebert inexplicably loved, including three comedies that would be more at home at the Razzies than the Oscars.

Here are three terrible comedies that got kudos from arguably the greatest film critic of all time…

1 Home Alone 3

No Macaulay Culkin? No Chris Columbus? No problem for Ebert. “To my astonishment, I liked the third Home Alone movie better than the first two,” he wrote. “I’m even going so far as to recommend it.”

What was so great about it? “This movie follows the exact formula of the first two, but is funnier and gentler, has a real charmer for a hero,...

In retrospect, "Land of the Lost" was probably an unwise investment. Made for somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million, this Brad Silberling directed adaptation of Sid & Marty Kroft's 1970s Saturday morning adventure series saw a four-quadrant bullseye in appealing to Gen X-er nostalgia, which, presumably, they'd share with their Zoomer children at their neighborhood multiplex. Given the campy nature of the original show, Silberling and the credited screenwriting duo of Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas pitched the film as a zany spoof of its source material, hiring a formidable comedic quartet in Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, Jorma Taccone, and Anna Friel (as an incredibly game straight-woman) to, hopefully, deliver loads of yuks as they flee Sleestaks and giant prehistoric beasts.

The film topped out at $69 million during the summer of 2009, which is either a massive commercial disappointment or a bomb depending on your threshold for hyperbole. Regardless of what you call it,...

Parker Finn's 2022 horror film "Smile" has a novel premise and a monster that is difficult to describe. The film begins when the lead character, a therapist named Rose (Sosie Bacon), has a strange encounter with a student, Laura (Caitlin Stasey). Laura is in a panic, having spent several day beset by hallucinations. She has been seeing people she knows appearing out of nowhere and grinning at her fiendishly. She knows these people are, in fact, a singular shapeshifting demon of some kind, and it is encouraging her to die by suicide. Then, as she predicted, Laura also pastes on a bleak, intense smile, and slits her throat right in front of Rose.

Rose soon begins experiencing similar hallucinations, wherein people she knows appear in her mind's eye, all of them wearing a scary rictus. Rose soon discovers that the grinning entity is an ancient supernatural creature that feeds on trauma.

For kids growing up in the late 1960s who thought that Mister Rogers Neighborhood didn’t feel enough like a bad acid trip in a dodgy renaissance fair, there was H.R. Pufnstuf, the story of a human boy who battles a witch in a trippy fantasyland full of puppet men and talking musical instruments. Just try watching 30 seconds of this show and see how well you pass a sobriety test afterwards.

H.R. Pufnstuf was created by Sid and Marty Krofft, the brother team that also gave us the cult ‘70s kids show Land of the Lost (which was later turned into a Will Ferrell movie) and the world’s most batshit crazy amusement park — although “The World of Sid and Marty Krofft” in Atlanta closed down after only five months in operation, and eventually became the decidedly less fun CNN Center.

But before all of that, the Krofft...

Princess Leia might be Carrie Fishers most famous role, but shes been in all kinds of incredible projects aside from Star Wars. Whether it was a leading role or a side character, Carrie Fisher always added a pizzazz to any movie she appeared in. Right up until her sudden death in 2016, Fisher was active in the industry. Besides the return of Star Wars, where she returned as Princess Leia for the sequel trilogy, she had many iconic performances that remain memorable today.

Carrie Fisher was born to two parents who already had quite the experience in show business. Fisher tended to be fun-loving and easy going about her choices of roles to play, often poking fun at herself along the way. Despite her involvement in one of the most famous film series in history, Fisher had a reputation for being down-to-earth and fun to be around. The result of that...

Four made-for-tv Planet of the Apes movies from 1980 are now streaming online, the first time they have been available for viewing since a DVD set was released nearly two decades ago. The four films are actually compilations of episodes from the 1974 CBS Planet of the Apes live-action series. The four films are currently streaming for free on YouTube's Movie Channel.

Some fans of the original 1968 Planet of the Apes film are not even aware that the CBS series or TV films even existed. In September 1974, CBS premiered the series, which was based in the same timeline as the 1968 film starring Charlton Heston. Roddy McDowell was the lone cast member from the original Apes films to return for the series. However, he played a completely new character, Galen, a chimp who helps two astronauts (Ron Harper and James Naughton) who have traveled from the past and crash-landed on their home planet a thousand years later.

Exclusive: Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men) and Laura Slade Wiggins (Shameless) have signed on to star alongside Landon Ashworth (Space Force) in Go On, a fantasy drama marking Ashworth’s feature directorial debut, which will enter production in New Mexico in September.

Marking Ashworth’s first produced feature screenplay, the film follows two strangers on a remote mountain, scorched by forest fires, as they help each other process baggage from their previous lives so they can transition to the afterlife. Ashworth crafted the screenplay after losing his very young cousin, Landon Bellm, to suicide.

“Having my feature film directorial debut be my own screenplay which addresses real, meaningful, and relatable issues is an honor,” Ashworth told Deadline. “Also, having the opportunity to work with Vincent is beyond a dream come true. I’ve followed his career for over a decade and knew he needed to play the co-lead of this movie.

Don't call them The Addams Family: "The Munsters" may be remembered as one of two darkly funny monster family sitcoms airing in the 1960s, but it's decidedly not the same as its comic strip-based contemporary. "The Munsters," for one thing, pulled its monsters straight from the Universal back catalog, featuring characters based directly on Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolf Man. The series starred Fred Gwynne and Yvonne de Carlo as married couple Herman and Lily Munster, whose household consisted of an endearing vampire grandpa (Al Lewis), wolf-boy son (Butch Patrick), human niece (Beverley Owen and Pat Priest), and a whole host of spooky-fun pets including a bat, a cat, a raven, and a dragon-like reptile named Spot.

Despite its enduring spot in the zeitgeist, "The Munsters" actually only ran for two seasons from 1964 to 1966. It was capped off with a movie, "Munsters, Go Home!" that saw the family take a trip to Europe,...
