Farrell will be playing the paleontologist while Friel will be playing his assistant.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I have to say that I am only a little surprised that this movie is going forward. This certainly seems like yet another decision based on an executive&#8217;s feelings of nostaligia for their own childhood combined with the hope that other parents will want to shell out their hard earned money for a chance to foist a similar feeling on to their own children rather than any sound creative decision or desire for making this movie. Is there a director who has some grand new vision for the concept? I think not.<\/p>\n<p>I await with dread for the inevitable adaptation of other Sid and Marty Kroft produced kiddie fare.
