Journey to the Center of the Earth starred a ridiculously game Brendan Fraser, who mugged his way through a series of computer-generated situations in 3D. Now the second movie, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, stars an equally "why the hell not" Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Plus an "as long as I get paid" Michael Caine. More »

Brendan Fraser has himself another fantasy movie franchise. New Line, one of the studios behind last year's Journey To The Center Of The Earth, have announced plans for a sequel, with even more 3D monsters. More »

Brendan Fraser was asked to don the super-spandex in the J.J. Abrams' Superman: Flyby film (which was being developed way back in '02- '04). But the incredibly complicated story of Abrams' Superman never panned out, but I still want to see the sweeping Kryptonian civil war trilogy, featuring Lex Luthor as an X-Filesagent. Fraser sheds some light on Adrams' script, and we talk about yet another Supes movie that became Hollywood road kill. More »

Click to viewWe may have liked the remake of Journey To The Center Of The Earth more than we expected, but here's something we don't like so much: 130 special effects artists who worked on the movie have been forced to take the producers to court - and worse yet, involve star Brendan Fraser - to try and get the $1 million they're still owed for their work on the underground adventure flick.

For a remake of a 49-year-old movie based upon a 144-year-old book, the movie industry is looking at upcoming Brendan Fraser flick Journey To The Center Of The Earth as a sign of things to come. Why, you may wonder? Well, it's got something to do with another retro technology as well as Disney's tween popstar Hannah Montana. More »

Check out the lush details of these huge mushrooms at the center of the earth, from the new Journey To The Center Of The Earth movie, which comes out July 11. I'm actually quite curious to see how this will look in 3-D, along with the giant flying piranhas, man-eating plants, "glow birds" and dinosaurs. Which will all supposedly be "photo-realistic." Click through for a gallery of new stills (including dino pics) and new details about the film. More »

This summer's remake of Journey To The Center of the Earth can't possibly be as pulptastic as this 1999 TV movie version, starring Treat Williams. Sure, the new Brendan Fraser vehicle will be 3-D and have actual special effects, but will it have jungle women doing a super-choreographed dance around a roasting dinosaur head? I didn't think so. Another clip, below the fold, showcases more things the new Journey won't have: matriarchs in Bette Midler-esque red feather headgear, jealous stone-axe-waving husbands — and lizard people who want to watch two random humans do the nasty in exchange for a piece of weird cantaloupe.

At the panel about Journey to the Center of the Earth, Brendan Fraser was on hand, along with producer Charlotte Huggins, "3D expert" Ed Marsh. Brendan Fraser spent most of the time extolling the virtues of James Cameron's new Fusion camera system, which they used to make this. Despite being sick, Fraser spent a lot of time talking to fans and joking about the movie, which he gleefully described like this: "They fall into a hole, they try get out of a hole — that's the movie! We needed some carnivorous plants in there to give them something to do!" Find out more. More »

Late last night, a bunch of Wondercon nerds piled into a theater across from Moscone convention center to see a special 30-minute preview of four monster-packed scenes from upcoming 3D epic Journey to the Center of the Earth. Hitting theaters in July, it's the first live action 3D film done using James Cameron's new 3D camera setup. You're going to be seeing a lot of this 3D stuff over the next several years, as Cameron's new film Avatar will use it, as well as Robert "Planet Terror" Rodriguez' new movie. And, dear readers, it looks frakkin good. Read on to find out about the future of your movie-going experiences. More »

A family-friendly new remake of Journey to The Center of the Earth will probably make us wish we were stuck in the Land of the Lost. Brendan Fraser plays a geologist who explores a hidden passage through the Earth's crust after he receives a mysterious message in an ancient artifact. He discovers a world of strange creatures. Click through for production stills, and reasons to dread this film. More »
