    China Supports 3D, Brendan Fraser's Career

    Wondering what the surprise American hit in Chinese cinemas this year is? Journey To The Center of The Earth, the reasonably-successful Brendan Fraser vehicle from this summer. But what made Chinese cinemagoers so excited about the movie wasn't the chance to see the star of The Mummy and Monkeybone go deep, deep underground, but its use of 3D technology. More »

    Final Proof That Brendan Fraser's Journey 3-D Was A Cop-Out

    Here's a clip from At The Earth's Core that contains everything that was missing from the Brendan Fraser-starring Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3-D. Subterranean cave people in bikinis? Check. Fire-breathing monster, that inexplicably explodes when it falls off a ledge? Check. A brute named Jubal the Ugly? Oh yeah, check. Peter Cushing doing his Doctor Who impression, showing off his muscles and giving advice on women? Check check check. Brendan Fraser, aren't you a little embarrassed now?

    Journey To The Center Of Bankruptcy

    We 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.

    Journey to the REAL Center of the Earth

    This Friday sees the release of Journey to the Center of the Earth, the second major film adaptation of Jules Verne's groundbreaking 1864 novel. While director Eric Brevig's sweet 3D imagery depicts the Earth's core as a biosphere in a bubble of lava, the real center of the Earth might be even more fascinating. We've hit the geophysics books and brought back for you . . . a realistic journey to the center of the Earth, and the burning gravitational well you'd really find there. More »

    Riding a Giant Geyser in a T-Rex Skull Is Always Awesome

    When I saw an early chunk of footage from Journey to the Center of the Earth at Wonder-Con, star Brendan Frasier was there to tell us what the movie is about. "They fall into a giant hole, and then they have to get back out. That's it," he said with a grin. His goofy, no-nonsense attitude pervades the whole film, and that's what makes it great fun. There are no deep themes, just deep holes; and there are no psychological complexities or scientific realism, just floating rocks and giant meat-eating plants. Journey is the first film you'll see in theaters that uses James "Titanic" Cameron's new digital 3D system, so a big part of the pleasure here is just watching stuff fly at your face. But can you base an entire movie on amusement park sensations alone? The answer is yes, but only if you deploy Journey's unexpected secret weapon: good writing. More »

    In The Battle Between 3D And IMAX, We All Lose

    Now that Dark Knight director Chris Nolan has boasted about shooting his bat-epic on IMAX how many will follow in his footsteps and make movies for the big boy screen? Flight Of The Dragon has announced that it will be going the way of the Bat and filming the live-action dragon flick in 4K resolution for IMAX release. And while it's not particularly scifi, everyone knows that once you get the dragons, zombies and superheroes are never far behind. But with the rise of Avatar and other 3D scifi epics (who also combine IMAX screenings with their 3D techniques) are we about to see a rift between 3D and IMAX technology, as Nolan seems to think? More importantly, is storytelling going to take a backseat to 3D and IMAX whizbangery? More »

    Shroomin' At The Center Of The Earth

    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."

    Jungle Disco Around The Roast Dino Head

    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.

    What's Causing the "Earth Without Us" Craze in New Scifi Movies?

    Following on the tail of the hit book The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, and the documentary Life After People, Hollywood seems determined to make scifi movies that explore the same theme. Certainly we've had "Earth without most of us" flicks like I Am Legend, but two movies that were on proud display at WonderCon, Wall-E and Journey to the Center of the Earth were literally about an Earth that has no humans at all. In Wall-E all the humans have flown off in spaceships, left the garbage bots to clean up their messes, and have never returned. In Journey, the main characters discover an "Earth" that has never evolved human life. Why are we so obsessed by alternative Earths without humans right now? I've got four reasons why. More »

    Monkeybone Hatred Reigns in "Meet the Creators" Panel for "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

    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 »

    There's Great Cellphone Reception At The Center Of The Earth

    Journey To The Center of the Earth, the least dreaded SF remake on Hollywood's slate, will be just as cheesy as you'd expect, judging from this new trailer. Brendan Fraser brandishes his monkey bone, meaning there are tons of goofy faces and zany slapstick moments. And the CGI dinosaurs and glowing fairy birds will probably look killer in 3-D. Plus, did you know there's tons of natural light at the center of the Earth, and awesome cellphone reception? Well, now you do.
