'Land of the Lost' adds Friel to cast

'Pushing Daisies'

Former Brookside star Anna Friel has been named as the female lead in Will Ferrell's new movie Land of the Lost.

Directed by Brad Siberling, the movie is an adaptation of Sid and Marty Krofft's 1970s live-action children's show.

Ferrell will star as a paleontologist who ends up in a strange prehistoric world, while Friel will play his love interest, claims The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie was written before the Writers Guild of America strike.

Friel, who will next appear in cinemas in Goal III, landed a Golden Globe nomination earlier this year for her performance in Pushing Daisies.
