fall.

will

space

going

> Originally, Synthesis, a company set up specifically to manage the
> properties controlled by the Allen estate, intended to do a "Lost in
Space"
> telefilm, reuniting the original cast members. Those plans were halted
when
> Jonathan Harris, the actor who played Dr. Smith, died last November.
