Publisher's Synopsis
THE LOST FILMS FANZINE PRESENTS MOVIE MILESTONES #2, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970) and the looming 50th anniversary of Creatures the World Forgot (1971) with an eye towards the obscure and the unmade. For instance, did you know that When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth began with the title of Curse of the Dinosaurs with the hope that Raquel Welch might return as Loana? Or, that the film was also meant to feature giant ants, eels, and a Tyrannosaurus at one point? Did you know that Creatures the World Forgot has some surprising ties to the late David Allen's still-in-development The Primevals? What about When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth's cancelled sequel, Dinosaur Girl, and a Hammer remake of King Kong? Also aborted was When the Earth Cracked Open, a caveman adventure set to star Caroline Munro with effects by Ray Harryhausen. Explore this exciting, hidden history along with brief coverage of related films like Prehistoric Women (1967), When Women Had Tails (1970), and Caveman (1981).
