Brendan Fraser joined New Line Cinema and Walden Media's "Journey 3-D", a contemporary update of the Jules Verne classic "Journey to the Center of the Earth" says Reuters.
The movie, being directed by Eric Brevig (VFX director of "Total Recall") and written by D.V. DeVincentis ("High Fidelity"), revolves around a scientist who is stuck with his nephew as they embark on a trip to Iceland to check on a volcanic sensor. During a storm, they get trapped in a cave, and the only way out is through the center of Earth.
"Journey 3-D" will be shot in live action, with the otherworldly landscapes and creatures supplied by high-definition, photo-real 3-D technology. Shooting begins June 10th in Montreal.
