Will Ferrell's Rick Marshall 'fro has landed its dream part.

The tightly coiled hair of the Saturday Night Live alum will honor its roots as Rick Marshall's tightly coiled hair in a big-screen version of the 1970s dinosaur series, Land of the Lost.

Land of the Lost was the longest-running children's series from 1970s TV kingpins Sid and Marty Krofft, who also exposed young minds to H.R. Pufnstuf, Sigmund and the Sea Monsters, Lidsville and more.

Forty-three first-run episodes of Land of the Lost appeared on NBC from 1974-76. The show remained a fixture on Saturday-morning network television through the 1980s. A series update, also titled Land of the Lost, lasted 26 episodes on ABC from 1991-92.



As the original series explained in song, ranger Rick Marshall (Spencer Milligan) and children, Will (Wesley) and Holly (Kathy Coleman), were on a routine rafting expedition when an earthquake shook them all the way from the 1970s to a prehistoric world. Two seasons later, Rick went missing like Wesley's last name. As luck would have it, Rick's brother, Jack (Planet of the Apes TV astronaut Ron Harper), fell into the same time portal and became the surrogate father to Will and Holly.
