What is The Asylum’s The Land That Time Forgot movie about?
“Present-day survivors of a sunken naval vessel capture a Russian sub, only to find themselves stranded on an island filled with deadly, prehistoric creatures,” the official synopsis reads.
The film is directed by Anthony Frith, while the screenplay was written by Dan Telfer. The cast of the movie includes Michael Paré (The Lincoln Lawyer), Jack Pearson (Winners & Losers), and Lauren Koopowitz (Kangaroo Island).
Burroughs’ book was published in 1918. It is the first novel in Burroughs’ Caspak series, followed by The People That Time Forgot and Out of Time’s Abyss. Prior to the 2009 version starring Howell, Timothy Bottoms, and Darren Dalton, The Land That Time Forgot was adapted into a British-American film that was released in 1974. That movie was directed by Kevin Connor, written by Michael Moorcock, and stars Doug McClure, John McEnery, Susan Penhaligon, Keith Barron, and more.
The Land That Time Forgot will be available to watch On Demand on Friday, January 24, 2025.
Additionally, the film will open in the following movie theaters on the same date: Laemmle Town Center 5 (Encino, California), Aurora Cineplex (Roswell, Georgia), Film Noir Cinema (Brooklyn, New York), Hickory Ridge Cinemas (Brunswick, Ohio), and Trylon Cinema (Minneapolis, Minnesota).
