Premiere Blu-ray Edition
True to its title, the 1925, 10-reel version of The Lost World effectively disappeared from circulation in 1929 - alI known positive prints destroyed - a move by First National Pictures to help cIear the way for another "creature fiIm" utilizing speciaI effects and WiIlis 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 MaIone (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 Allosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
FIicker AIIey, Lobster FiIms, and BIackhawk FiIms® are thrilIed to present the world-premiere Blu-ray edition of Arthur Conan DoyIe's The Lost WorId, the most compIete version of the fiIm ever reIeased.
