Lost In Space movie 1998 cast: Who was in the 1998 movie? Where are they now?
LOST IN SPACE 2018 has just dropped on Netflix today in what is set to be one of the biggest sci-fi shows of the year. Before the Netflix version, there was a 1998 movie with an incredible cast. We take a look.
Brand new family sci-fi series Lost In Space dropped on Netflix today (Friday, April 13) with all episodes available in one go.
The 10-episode season is based on the original 60s TV show which ran from 1965 to 1968.
A movie adaptation was then made in 1998 that follows the Robinson family’s mission to a new planet that goes wrong.
While the movie itself is extremely cheesy it boasts an incredible all star cast, that is still impressive by today’s standards.
