Travel back to a time when mostly-forgotten IPs were turned into vehicles for SNL comedians. Will Ferrell had graduated from sketch comedy and George W. Bush impersonations to leading hits like Elf and Old School. His star had risen so high that he was cast as the lead in the upcoming Land of The Lost reboot, which would be a big-budget reimagining of the fantasy adventure series.
