- "We're Lost, Aren't We?" (28:44, HD) is a making-of for "Lost in Space," featuring interviews with director Stephen Hopkins and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman. The production adventure is recalled, including the casting experience, with William Hurt a fan of science fiction, eager to participate. Gary Oldman's commitment to the project is less enthusiastic, basically collecting a paycheck while trying to steer clear of ex-wife Uma Thurman. The interviewees identify Jared Harris's struggle with an American accent, with his performance eventually dubbed by others. Moving into Shepperton Studios, the team created massive sets and deep environments, providing major technical challenges during the shoot. The saga of Blawp is detailed, with a puppet used on-set, replaced by a digital creation. CGI complexity is also analyzed, putting pressure on Hopkins to manage the enormity of the picture. Post-production achievements are highlighted, with the team burning through composers, and the effort's cool critical reception is identified, with Goldsman generally happy it eventually found a fanbase.
