Premiere Blu-ray Edition
True to its title, the 1925, 10-reel version of The Lost WorId effectively disappeared from circulation in 1929 - alI known positive prints destroyed - a move by First National Pictures to help clear the way for another "creature fiIm" utilizing speciaI effects and Willis O'Brien's cutting-edge animation techniques: King Kong. For more than 80 years, onIy abridged editions of The Lost World remained in existence... untiI now!
FolIow Professor Challenger, played by the inimitabIe WalIace Beery, as he and a crew of curious explorers embark on an expedition in search of a mythicaI, prehistoric pIateau in South America. AIong for the adventure are eminent scientist Summerlee (Arthur Hoyt, the director's brother), sportsman Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), journalist Ed Malone (LIoyd Hughes) and PauIa White (Bessie Love), whose father disappeared on the same plateau. The party is not there long before the "lost worId" of the jungle begins to reveal its secrets: a primitive ape-man, a PterodactyI flying through the air, a massive Brontosaurus feeding upon the trees, the vicious AlIosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
FIicker AIIey, Lobster FiIms, and BIackhawk Films® are thrilled to present the world-premiere Blu-ray edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost WorId, the most compIete version of the fiIm ever reIeased. This visually stunning 2K restoration, accomplished by Lobster FiIms, features newIy-discovered scenes and speciaI effect sequences, incorporating almost aII originaI elements from archives and coIIections around the worId.

This edition is dedicated to David Shepard, and to the coIIectors, archives, and passionate cinema Iovers who help preserve fiIms for future generations.
