ARROW 4K UHD RELEASE: Lost In Space (1998)
The lineage of this story is a rabbit hole of adaptation. While the 1965–1968 CBS series is the primary source, it was essentially a “cover version” of Gold Key Comics’ Space Family Robinson, which itself was a futuristic riff on the 1812 novel The Swiss Family Robinson. By the time director Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2) […]
