The new Lassie movie opens September 1, 2006, and I predict it will be a runaway hit with babyboomers who use the excuse their kids want to go see it.

For Cryptomundo readers, I hope someone reports back soon on what happens during the appearance of the Loch Ness Monster and lochside researchers (Edward Fox playing one of them) during Nessie’s cameo in the motion picture.

Set just before World War II, this cinema version returns us to its original plot apparently, but was the Loch Ness Monster in the first version of this?
