Michael Caine To Get More Bee Action In THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND!!
Merrick here...
Michael Caine will appear in JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (the sequel to 2008's JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH) alongside the incoming Dwayne Johnson and returning Josh Hutcherson. We learned last week that the project would be loosely adapted from Jules Verne's THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
.
Caine will play Hutcherson's missing grandfather - Johnson and Hutcherson travel to the island to look for him.
Caine is the grandfather, but the part is no cameo. The role will see the actor in action mode, engaging in several chase sequences, including one involving giant bees.
...says THR HERE.
Back in 1978, Caine grappled with a shitload of regular-sized (but exceedingly bitchy) bees in Irwin Allen's THE SWARM.

Christina Hendrick's mammaries!
Made you smile! -
I don't remember any kids in "Mysterious Island". When I was a kid, I didn't need children in movies to like them.
-
children or movies?
-
But you can't blame Caine. He was raised in poverty.

Isn't Caine booked up with Batman 3?
by planty_mcplant_plants_his_plant_at_aicn
He can fit in both of course, but at his age one film a year is probably all he can manage.
-
but going to the store is such a hassle. Does anyone know a good link to a site that sells cheap shoes? They would have to accept paypal or a credit card of course. Oh I don't know, I bet places like this don't even exhist do they?
-
I think I would rather watch the swarm that a crappy sequel to that other crappy film.
-
Even in total schlock.
-
Hey, get off my sugar. Bad bees! Bad! Ow. Oww! Oh, they’re defending themselves somehow!
-
According to Harry's 2001 Planet Of The Apes review, "Glenn Shadix is a GOD." Alas, the God has died.
-
make Caine return as Hoagie in Jaws 5
Cookylama, I tend to agree, even in crap like Jaws 4 Caine brings the shit and makes it real. -
Just one last one, please.
-
those bloody bees...at me!
Watching The Swarm aged 8 gave me bee nightmares for some time. Old Micklewhite really will do any old crap. I think his only stipulation is that he doesn't have to go anywhere with an uncomfortable climate. -
michael caine had retired from making movies
-
Ever seen "The Swarm"? Wow. Irwin Allen was a hell of a producer, but couldn't direct for sour owl poop. Caine's performance is pretty bad.
-
TDK. Tell me you've seen TDK. That was two years ago. He was in Inception. That was two months ago! (and still in theaters) He's going to be in Shadow of the Bat. That's 2012!
-
which just came out on DVD last week. Caine will not retire! Even if he's dead, he'll still keep crankin em out.
-
And he can't be in person to collect the award because he's filming this piece of shit. If ya smellllllllllll-la-la-la-la...what I'm cooking.
-
I hope Ray Harryhausen is going to get some cash from this movie (and the Clash of the Titans remake). Even though we're told this movie is a new adaptation of Verne's novel, the fact that it involves giant bees means it's actually a remake of Ray Harryhausen's 60s fantasy movie (because there are no giant animals in Verne's original novel: Ray added them.)

I Recently Had The Pleasure Of Caine's "Death Trap"
by liamneesonreleasedhiskrakenalloverhollyw
Having never before watching the 1982 Caine movie "Death Trap", I decided to watch it a few weeks back after stumbling upon a fantastic review on another well-known movie site.I was generally surprised to find myself utterly entranced in a thriller which puts many of those made today to shame. Not only was Caine fantastic, in a role which showcased his darker side as once-reknowned playwright who had fallen on hard times, but Christoper Reeves - as the naive young man with a script that Caine might kill for - was also brilliant. In addition, the script - which begins twisting and turning around midway through the movie - was a small masterpiece. It's the type of movie which will no doubt be remade at some point but, in doing so, will lose the charm of the original.I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't ever watched it.
-
I saw Death Trap back in the 80's when I was about ten years old. I vividly remember the Christopher Reeve/Michael Caine twist that comes about midway through. It really disturbed me then and still does now.
-
One million dollars, have a holiday. A bit of a film shoot.
-
He can do anything he wants. He's earned it. Sure, this movie will probably be crap. But, so what? It's not like this is the first crappy movie he's made.
-
I have a VHS tape from the late 90s that has the ABC miniseries version of The Shining taped on it, along with all the commercial breaks (trailers for Jurassic Park and Contact) there's a trailer for 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea and Caine saying "I am Captain Nemo". I'm guessing it sucked or else someone else would have probably already mentioned it.
-
Supposedly Caine kept eating the little brown spots the bees were leaving on his clothing, assuming it was honey, but later learning that he had been eating bee poop.
-
You look like you're pretty shook up. You been goofin' with the bees?
