As you all know, box office success always opens the doors for a sequel. In this opportunity, the film that will have its continuation is Journey to the Center of the Earth, which reaped 240 million worldwide with the first part.
The production company New Line Cinema officially announced that it is working on a second part which would include the 3D technology that the former possessed. The distribution and sales of its DVD version paid off and the executives of the production company were encouraged to (try) to repeat the formula that meant large profits.
As stated, the original trio from the first installment, Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem, would return to embody the respective characters. Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson, in conjunction with Walden Media and Charlotte Huggins, will form the production team and filmmaker Eric Brevig will also return to command filming, in addition to writing the script. From New Line They have already promised to provide all the necessary financial support.
The main concern of those involved is to tell a story that captures and continues the original novel, written by Julio Verne, so you don't disappoint the public. There was talk of focusing on the myth of Atlantis, but it was quickly scrapped upon learning that there are already several projects linked to the subject (none confirmed) and that such a story demands a large budget.
The idea with which we are now working is the one thought by the writer Richard Outten, who imagines fantastic worlds based on stories like Gulliver's Travels, Treasure Island and Mysterious Island. Let's hope something good comes out and, beyond the special effects that can be seen on the screen, an entertaining story is told.
