Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THE LOST FILMS FANZINE PRESENTS MOVIE MILESTONES #1, which celebrates the 80th anniversary of One Million B.C. (1940). And because this is a subsidiary of THE LOST FILMS FANZINE, we explore all the ways the film could have turned out but didn't. For instance, did you know that the rumored original director, D.W. Griffith, wanted to use stop-motion dinosaurs instead of lizards? Did you know that Hal Roach really wanted to adapt Jack London's Before Adam, but RKO beat him to the film rights so he had to craft an all-new caveman story? Also covered is the development of Hammer Film's remake, One Million Years B.C. (1966), which at one point included a mammoth, giant scorpions, and was to end with a battle with a brontosaurus. This special magazine also includes a mini-filmography covering the more prominent films to cannibalize stock-footage from the 1940 B.C., Mike Bogue remembers the forgotten caveman flick Eegah! (1962), and the editor briefly explores films that almost got made in the wake of B.C. including Ray Harryhausen's Deluge remake, Mistress of the Seas starring Raquel Welch, and even an axed B.C. TV series!
