Go sightseeing. Crash land on a lost planet. Meet new people. Pick up an alien robot. Stay alive. It’s all in a day’s trip for The Robinsons, after the family find their journey to a safe future go horribly wrong.

Lost in Space charts the aftermath of that trip, as we join the clan 30 years in the future, when colonisation in space is now a reality and they are among those tested and selected to make a new life for themselves in an off-world colony. But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment, light years from their original destination.

A reboot of the classic 60s TV series, Netflix’s series stars stars Toby Stephens, Molly Parker, Mina Sundwall, Taylor Russell and Max Jenkins. A new featurette gives us a look at the whole cast, along with showrunner Zack Estrin, as they discuss bringing back the retro sci-fi for modern audiences.

Lost in Space premieres on 13th April on Netflix. Here’s the new video:

 

Full trailer lands for Netflix’s Lost in Space reboot

7th March 2018

“We’re lost.” “No kidding.” 50 years ago, Lost in Space signed off the air. To mark the anniversary, Netflix has released the first full trailer for its reboot of the classic sci-fi series.

A dramatic and modern reimagining of the show, Lost in Space is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation in space is now a reality, and the Robinson family is among those tested and selected to make a new life for themselves in a better world. But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment, lightyears from their original destination.

It stars Toby Stephens (Black Sails) as John Robinson, and Molly Parker (House of Cards) as Maureen Robinson, the family’s parental leaders who are struggling with their estranged relationship in the midst of trying to keep their family safe. As the Robinson kids, Taylor Russell (Falling Skies) is the strong-willed and confident Judy, Mina Sundwall (Maggie’s Plan) is the quick-witted and definitive middle-child Penny, and Max Jenkins (Sense8) is the curious and sensitive Will Robinson, the youngest and most vulnerable of the clan, who forms an unlikely and inexplicable bond with a sentient robotic alien being.

Stranded along with the Robinsons are two outsiders who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception. The unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith played by Parker Posey (Café Society), is a master manipulator with an inscrutable end game. And the roguish, but inadvertently charming Don West, played by Ignacio Serricchio (Bones), is a highly-skilled, blue collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.

The series is produced by Legendary Television and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold). Zack Estrin (Prison Break) serves as showrunner. The three are executive producers alongside Synthesis Entertainment’s Kevin Burns and Jon Jashni with Applebox’s Neil Marshall and Marc Helwig.

The whole thing touches down on Netflix on Friday 13th April, and judging by this latest, jaw-dropping video, is set to be a blockbuster-sized affair. Here’s the trailer – or read on below for the new poster:

 

 

Netflix unveils Lost in Space trailer and release date

7th March 2018

It’s been a long time since we first heard word of Netflix’s plans to reboot Lost in Space, and now, we’ve finally got our first look at the new series – and it looks impressively epic.

A dramatic and modern reimagining of the classic 1960s sci-fi series, this new take on the tale of the Robinson family is set 30 years in the future, when colonisation in space is a reality, and the Robinson clan are among those tested and selected to make a new life for themselves in a better world. But when the new colonists find themselves abruptly torn off course en route to their new home, they must forge new alliances and work together to survive in a dangerous alien environment, light-years from their original destination.

Stranded along with the Robinsons are two outsiders who find themselves thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception. The unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith (Parker Posey) is a master manipulator and the roguish, but charming Don West (Ignacio Serricchio) is a highly-skilled, blue collar contractor, who had no intention of joining the colony, let alone crash landing on a lost planet.

The whole thing lands on Netflix on Friday 13th April, although the first episode has already been broadcast in space, with Netflix giving NASA access to the pilot for the International Space Station astronauts to watch during their downtime. For a taste of what they saw, here’s the first trailer:
