Danny McBride Talks 'Land Of The Lost'

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Danny McBride, who plays Will in Land of the Lost, told reporters that he apologizes to fans of the original 1970s children's TV show on which the movie is based, but defended the new take as something that will work for audiences.

"There are the purists, who I always read about, that are like, 'I can't believe you're raping my childhood,'" McBride said in a group interview last week in Hollywood. "If Land of the Lost is your childhood, and we're raping it, I apologize. I think the show is awesome, and I think [screenwriters] Chris Henchy and Dennis McNicholas keep the mythology intact without taking it too seriously. If it was taken too seriously, it's just Jurassic Park. We've seen that movie before. This is a more interesting take on that tone."

I took my 8 & 9-year old granddaughters to a movie that was marketed to children. It was absolutly an adult film with vulgar adult situations and language. With Will Farrell using the GD phrase and another actor dropping the "F" bomb and the word "Dong", what part of adult situation do the film's makers not understand.

This is a blatant insult to families that the typical Hollywood liberals want to destroy and pervert. You wonder why our children are growing up talking crude? Trash, such as this movie, is why.
