The Lost World (TV movie 2001)
From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
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.
