THEY SAY

In this update of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth, Brendan Fraser will portray a geologist who, with his teenage son, discovers a message hidden in an ancient artifact, leading them into a previously unseen world. Journey 3-D will be shot in live action, with the otherworldly landscapes and creatures supplied by high-definition, photo-real 3-D technology. — Some sources: Amazon.com

WE SAY

Brendan Fraser is making a mini-comeback of sorts with this and two other fantasy-related movies he’s appearing in this year, namely The Mummy 3 and Inkheart. This one looks like a family-friendly version of the Indiana Jones movies, which to be honest sounds just plain awful, like a Goonies sequel or something . . .

Trivia

• Indie film maker Paul Chart (American Perfekt) was originally signed to write and direct the picture and penned the original script. Chart left the project, however, after a decision was made to shoot the film in 3-D, uncomfortable with the possibility it would become more 'theme park ride' than the epic action-adventure film he envisioned. The Jules Verne novel was apparently one of his favorite pieces of literature. Chart was ultimately replaced with effects specialist Eric Brevig and the script was heavily retooled to emphasize the new 3-D format.
