Another Attempt To Resurrect 'Lost In Space'

Sci-fi notes that: Although Lost in Space failed to get box office attention in 1998, there's still talk about bringing it back to fans in some shape or form, most likely another movie.

One of the 1998 film's producers, Mark Koch, said that while the film didn't do the type of box office business the studio had projected, there was an original plan of doing a whole series of movies. In fact, New Line Cinema was so confident the film would do well tht the actors, including Matt LeBlanc, were signed on to do three movies. While those movies didn't happen, there's still a chance that "Lost In Space" could be successful in a series of direct-to-DVD films, Koch said.

Koch said he's already talked with the former "Friends" star LeBlanc about returning, and he was "keen to play Don West again."
