27/10/07 - Alex CF is a mixed-media artist out of Brighton in the UK, and one of his latest pieces is a beautiful "Lost World Exploration Case" that includes notes, photographs, a pterodactyl wing and a dinosaur egg. It is well worth checking out and, if you have £150.00 or so lying around, you can even purchase the piece on eBay.

29/04/08 - A recent series of e-mail communications provoked me to resume my hunt for where the 1925 film was originally shot. This time around, the search proved fruitful, and I learned that First National's home was at the Brunton Studios in Hollywood, which was bought by Paramount Studios, which retains the lot to this day. I have more information and a photo in the "Making the Lost World" article in the 1925 film section.

16/10/07 - As of September 2007, the controversial George Eastman House restoration of the 1925 film has been made available on home video! It can be found as a bonus disk along with Twentieth Century Fox's special edition DVD of the 1960 version. It includes a newly-composed theatre organ score, some outtake footage and the theatrical trailer (though this was defective in my copy). However...

29/02/08 - Plenty of new photos have been added to the "Promoting the Lost World" article in the 1925 Film section, including print ads and magazine articles. I've also added a photo of Willis O'Brien at work in his article, and a photo in the About this Site section of myself at the Lost World... of sorts...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World is a collaborative effort. The subject is too broad for any one person to handle, and this site would not be what it is without the help of the following people:

  • John Lavas, probably a bigger fan than even I am, who has contributed essays and exclusive glimpses of his 90th anniversary edition of the novel. John is also spearheading the centenary edition novel and invited me to contribute to it;
  • Walter J. Williams, for contributing reviews;
  • Marauder95, for providing links, information and reviews;
  • Karl Gillies, for providing information on The Lost World's New Zealand connections;
  • and to Ed Summer and the Dinosaur Interplanetary Gazette/George Eastman House, who were very understanding and helpful way back in 1997 when I was getting this website underway.
