3-D Journey Makes Studios Nervous

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 »

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." Click through for a gallery of new stills (including dino pics) and new details about the film. More »

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.
