Where Do We JOURNEY To Next After THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND?
The Kidd here...
Looking at the box office for JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND ($275 million and counting), it was to be expected that another sequel would be forthcoming.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that New Line Cinema has already locked up deals with director Brad Peyton, who'll be returning to the franchise for his second go-'round, and writers Brian and Mark Gunn to make JOURNEY 3 or whatever it'll be called.
The plan is to have the third movie ready for a 3-D release by 2014, although there's no word yet on which of the cast may be returning. Josh Hutcherson might be a little busy moving forward with the expected popularity of THE HUNGER GAMES, and The Rock seems to have a pretty full agenda right now. I bet they could always bring Brendan Fraser back, if needed. It's not like he's been doing too much as of late.
I didn't catch JOURNEY 2, primarily because the first JOURNEY was quite enough for me, but, from those who did see it, the second effort seems to have been somewhat of an improvement over the initial offering (Pec Pop of Love notwithstanding).
The only real question now is: After journeying to both the center of the earth and the Mysterious Island, where is the next family adventure headed?

Surprisingly, the porn version will have the same title.

Inside teh human body? Makes sense to me. And FUCK Brendan Fraser and his puke-inducing hair plugs.

Its another Jules Verne story that would work well for the movies.
-
If it follows the direct sequel prompt of Journey 2 that is...

This journey is making me yawny, are we nearly there yet?

Bring back Josh, Brendan, and Rock. Or they will recast altogether. Then again, this is Hollywood. Get Andrew Garfield to not reboot, just tell the untold story about the Journey to the Center of the Earth. Something about his father and a mysterious suit case.

Title sets up a question and the article does not deliver.

...on the "Journey to..." idea. I've always enjoyed the B-movie fun and adventure of the Pat Boone original. The Brendan Fraser one was dreadful and the new one with the Rock doesn't look much better. I especially hate it when they CG/greenscreen the whole damn thing which makes things look extra phony. Looking forward to Prometheus to satisfy my adventure movie appetite. Bring it on Ridley!

Can't be any less annoying.

My bet is now on the table.

...tagline: Summer 2014... No Cthulh-in'!

If you had you would have seen that it ends with a pretty big hint they're off to the moon. While that may or may not be the case, what's the point of speculating about sequels to films you don't want to see?

At least that's what they set up at the end of the second one.

I'm starting to think that Hollywood is ran by Ferengi.

simply because they SAY THAT AT THE END OF THE MOVIE
-
if they're sticking to the Jules Verne rip-offs, or JV sacrelidges.
-
Featuring Coolio, of course.
-
There ya go and it even rhymes
-
I'm betting it's going to be based on Wells' FIRST MEN IN THE MOON. Granted the first to films were loosely -- LOOOSSSSELLLY -- based on Verne's work. But that doesn't mean they can't jump ship and completely fuck up another noted novelist's books.

Jean Luc gave me all the MYSTERIOUS ISLAND I'll ever need.

Whatever I never saw the second but I'm sure it was fun. I'm blown away by how well it did. Families will see literally anything it seems.
-
Just take the money intended for a third Journey movie and make a big screen version of TSAOJV. Steampunk is still popular, after all. PLUS, it will give studios a reason to put out the tv on Blu-Ray already!
-
Right, who doesn't think they'll do the Lost City of Atlantis?
-
Starring John Cena
-
I was expecting an answer, as well. I feel like AICN just sprung a pop quiz on all of us.
-
Not exactly a memorable Autocorrect moment, but a moment, nonetheless
-
Except more underwater monsters... Have them take a ship to Antartica and there a passage under the Island that leads to and UnderWater Planet... With another Ocean and Islands that stick out from the SKY rather than the ocean...
