jokemaster Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Ray jones is it called Land of the Lost? Cause I've heard they both seem similar, but that Lost is way more awesome than land of the lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 it's called 'verschollen' what means pretty much 'lost' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairb Notneb Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I haven't watched it because to me it looked like most new shows, stupid. But some people have said that it isn't so bad and ABC has picked it up for another season evidently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Oh, I forgot about this thread, after my post got eaten to it...weeks ago. RayJones, the show you're thinking of is TOTALLY different. I did a little investigating. They just have similar names. Verschollen isn't on American TV (that I could find out about.) I still haven't got to see Lost, but everyone is saying how amazing and good it is...from critics to my friends to radio talk shows hosts (this morning) Wish I could see it (stupid night classes, stupid buses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nairb Notneb Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 It looked like a real hodge-podge of a cast to me. A bunch of people that never made it on their own really big yet but you recognized them all but can't place their names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, Lost is an American production, NOT a German production. Second, "Verschollen" is commonly translated "Cast Away" in English, not, "Lost". (The Tom Hanks movie "Cast Away" was called "Verschollen" in English, and (note: Google cached page, otherwise you have to subscribe to read the article) translates "Verschollen" as "Cast Away". Finally, I found an English review of "Verschollen". National TV - the horror, the horror Tuesday, October 5th, 2004, lunch time by gibarian I am in the unfortunate position to receive not more than four channels on TV. Two are national TV, one is a sloppily made private channel and the fourth is a sloppily made private channel, with a focus on Vienna. The private channels are sponsored by ads, national TV is sponsored by ads and the monthly fee virtually anyone in Austria has to pay. You’d think they’d be able to buy interesting stuff to show. But obviously, they can’t. The last monster they have decided to let loose on their unsuspecting viewers is called “Verschollen” (Cast Away), a joint production between Austrian national TV and RTL, known for its costly, high-quality productions. The story is simple: A plane crash somewhere in the south seas, 20 people survive and are stranded on some island. Now, you may think: Hey, that’s not so bad of a concept. And yes, theoretically, although it’s such an old idea, with good actors, a nice setting and a screenplay written by someone else than a ten year old, it could have been worthwhile. But, the production company decided against all that. For one, the whole goddamn island is inside a studio. You’ve got a whole lot of fake rocks, fake palm-trees, one token spider, one token iguana and the best thing is….there’s no water. It’s a goddamn island, but there’s obviously a green-screen around the whole thing. I mean, if an actor or an actress, and trust me, each and everyone of those does not deserve this title, is seen in front of the sea, you notice a fine, white line between their body and the sea. So what kind of computer are they actually using for CGI? A Pentium I? With 133 Mhz, 32 MB Ram? Oh come one, it’s the 21st century, couldn’t they at least have used something resembling reasonable equipment. But hey, why should they? If I can assemble a crew of soap-style actors, put up a plastic island inside a studio, let the script be written by the producer’s three year old son (and use his computer for the effects) and then even sell it to the various TV-stations , there’s no need to change a thing. That seriously doesn't sound like theAmerican "Lost" to me. In fact, just having watched the trailers for the show clinches it. "Lost" is filmed on an actual island, and there IS water. [And apparently, a polar bear?!] Also, it's definitely high budget, and has had rave reviews. And is being produced by J.J. Abrams of Alias (and two other people I can't remember). It's been called the "best new show of the season" multiple times. Also, apparently 48 people are stranded in "Lost", and only 20 in "Verschollen". edit: I just found out that LOST is called VERSCHOLLEN in Germany. It is a different production all together, but the basic idea is the same. Click here (http://www.rtl.de/videolounge/player.php?video_id=11553&navi_cat=&isdeeplink=1&rp=http://www.rtl.de/tv/verschollen/start.php) to view a clip from the pilot. Only the distress call is in English, but you will be able to follow along. Well, that explains it..."Verschollen" is a ****ty Germany "Lost" ripoff.
