For those not in the know, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” is the sequel to 2008′s hit “Journey to the Center of the Earth”. Brendan Fraser was the star of that one, but he’s taken a flyer on the sequel (stupid move, Brendan), and only Josh Hutcherson returns for the second time around. He’s joined by The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson), and this time the source of adventure is Jules Verne’s “mysterious island”. Here’s the first trailer and a behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming family sci-fi movie.
The follow-up to the 2008 hit Journey To The Center Of The Earth, JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND begins when young adventurer Sean (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist—a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.
Starring Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Vanessa Hudgens, Luis Guzmán, Kristin Davis and directed by Brad Peyton.
The journey begins January 27, 2012.
