I don’t blame Universal for trying to sell “Land of the Lost” as a family film.  This is a big-budget summer movie based on a campy 70s TV show and so you’re going to highlight the T-Rex and maybe Will Ferrell dumping a vat of dinosaur urine over his head.  What you won’t highlight is a scene where Ferrell’s character whispers to Cha-Ka the ape-boy, “Fuck you.”  It’s clear that this movie was conceived of as a subversive, R-rated comedy and Universal said, “Are you bugfuck insane?  We’re not spending a hundred million dollars on that!” The compromise is a film that you’re not expecting even if you can totally predict its lead actor.

Opening tomorrow is director Brad Silberling’s “Land of the Lost”. So to help promote the film, I recently interviewed Anna Friel as a reporter for our partner website Omelete. As most of you already know, Collider and Omelete are partners. That’s why you see both of our logos in the movie clips and video interviews.

During our interview, we talked about whether or not she was a fan of “Land of the Lost”, what did she think of the outfit she had to wear, making the movie, “Pushing Daisies”, what she has coming up and a lot more. The interview’s after the jump so take a look:

Opening this Friday is director Brad Silberling’s “Land of the Lost”. The film is based on the classic series by Sid & Marty Krofft and it stars Will Ferrell as Dr. Rick Marshall. Danny McBride, Anna Friel, and Jorma Taccone also star.

Anyway, in the next day or two I’ll have the full interview online, but here’s what Anna said about her next two film projects. She first talked about “The Details” - which will star James McAvoy and Elizabeth Banks. After that she talked about William Monahan’s directorial debut called “London Boulevard” where she’ll play Colin Farrell’s sister. See what she had to say after the jump:

A show that died way before it’s time was ABC’s “Pushing Daisies”. The show had a perfect recipe of comedy, action and imagination. Each week you had a mystery to solve, and at the same time, you got a piece of the bigger storyline. All I can say is, if you get a chance, check out the show. It’s great.

Anyway, ABC is finally airing the last three original episodes starting tomorrow night and for the next two Saturday’s. While you’ll be coming into the storyline very late, if you’re around, you should tune in.

So with ABC finally airing the last few episodes, at this morning’s roundtable interview for “Land of the Lost”, Anna told us what see thought of the show, what she’s doing for the finale, and a little bit on how it’s going to end. If you’re a fan of the show, I think you’ll love hearing her talk about it.

I saw a screening last night and have to say it’s a lot dirtier than I expected. In fact, I was quite surprised at how much they got away with for a PG-13 movie. If you thought this was just going to be some safe family film, you’re in for a surprise.

Anyway, to help promote the film we’ve been provided with six movie clips and three featurettes. They’re all after the jump - along with the full synopsis. Take a look:
