The Lost World (2001)

The Lost World is a British TV movie produced by BBC released on 25 december 2001 starring Bob Hoskins as Professor Challenger. 145 minutes.

The movie is an adaptation of the Conan Doyle's novel: The Lost World (1912).

The movie is the most faithful adaptation of the original novel so far, with only a few differences:

  • Maple White is replaced by Luis Mendoza (1649).
  • More characters are added to the expedition, Agnes Cluny and Rev. Theo Kerr, to bring an opposition between theology and darwinism.
  • Rev. Theo Kerr destroys the bridge trunk (instead of Gomez).
  • Life with the indian natives is developed (not in the original story).
  • Lord Roxton fell in love with a native (Maree) and stayed on the Plateau.
  • Mr. Potts is renamed by Mr. Hare.
  • After his return to London, Challenger announced that The Lost World doesn't exist, to preserve it.
