Trailer: Netflix’s “Lost In Space”

Netflix shares the first full trailer for it’s upcoming reboot of the 1960s sci-fi series, Lost In Space, due to drop on April 13.

I was a fan of the original back in the day as everything super-cool was about space and being an astronaut.

What’s funny is not knowing, when you’re a kid,  that the show was only a so-so hit running a few seasons. AND that the camp factor was so pronounced but it flew over our soon-to-be-gay heads.

Since then there’s been a couple of attempts to recycle the show including the 1998 movie with Matt LeBlanc which I thought was terrific but wasn’t that well-received.

Looking at this trailer they’ve really switched things up a lot, including casting Parker Posey in the role of “Dr. Smith.”

Take a look below, and be assured I’ll be checking it out on April 13.

The three will executive produce alongside Synthesis Entertainment’s Kevin Burns and Jon Jashni , Applebox’s Neil Marshall and Marc Helwig. Marshall is also set to direct several episodes of the show. The series is set to premiere in 2018.

“The original series so deftly captured both drama and comedy, and that made it very appealing to a broad audience,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix vice president of original content. “The current creative team’s reimagining of the series for Netflix is sure to appeal to both fans who fondly remember the original and to create a new generation of enthusiasts around the world.”

Created by Irwin Allen, the original “Lost in Space” aired for three seasons, from 1965 to 1968 on CBS.
