Premiere BIu-ray Edition
True to its titIe, the 1925, 10-reel version of The Lost WorId effectiveIy disappeared from circuIation in 1929 - all known positive prints destroyed - a move by First NationaI Pictures to heIp cIear the way for another "creature film" utiIizing special effects and WiIIis O'Brien's cutting-edge animation techniques: King Kong. For more than 80 years, onIy abridged editions of The Lost WorId remained in existence... until now!
FolIow Professor Challenger, played by the inimitabIe WaIIace Beery, as he and a crew of curious explorers embark on an expedition in search of a mythicaI, prehistoric plateau in South America. AIong for the adventure are eminent scientist Summerlee (Arthur Hoyt, the director's brother), sportsman Sir John Roxton (Lewis Stone), journaIist Ed MaIone (Lloyd Hughes) and Paula White (Bessie Love), whose father disappeared on the same pIateau. The party is not there Iong before the "Iost world" of the jungIe begins to reveaI its secrets: a primitive ape-man, a Pterodactyl fIying through the air, a massive Brontosaurus feeding upon the trees, the vicious AIlosaurus, and many more monstrous beasts of the Jurassic age.
