‘Land of the Lost’ poses intriguing premise

What happens when you put together a has- been scientist, a hot research assistant and a redneck souvenir shopkeeper in a time space vortex?

Find out when United International Picture pose the intriguing premise in their latest movie offering, "Land of the Lost".

Opening in local theaters on September 2, "Land of The Lost" stars Will Ferell as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall; Anna Friel as his crack-smart research assistant Holly; and Danny McBride as a redneck ‘souvenirist.’
