JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (ESTREIA EUA)

Director: Guillermo del Toro
Studio: Universal Pictures
Release Date: Jul 11, 2008
Running Time: 93 mins.
Country Of Origin: United States
Synopsis: In "Journey to the Center of the Earth, science professor Trevor Anderson's untraditional hypotheses have met with skepticism from the academic community. But, on an expedition in Iceland - accompanied by his nephew Sean and Hannah, their local guide - he stumbles upon a major discovery which leads them on a thrilling trek deep beneath the Earth's surface. The first live-action feature film to be shot entirely in digital 3-D, "Journey to the Center of the Earth" utilizes cutting-edge technology to immerse audiences in a new dimension of movie-going. This groundbreaking approach brings a modern sensibility to the classic Jules Verne story.
THE BUZZ: Here's a thought: If 2008 is the year of the superhero, and Universal recently turned the dark-horse candidate Wanted into a hit, then maybe HBII will warrant a third installment, which has been the subject of rumors over the past several weeks. (How Guillermo del Toro would find the time to complete the trilogy, however, is an unsolvable mystery, since The Hobbit two-parter should have him sequestered away until 2012.) Though I am still unsure if the beefed-up crew from the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense will best their 2004 debut, there's no doubt that GdT's creative vision will make for the best-looking comic-book adaptation to date. I just wish Universal didn't feel the need to reveal so much of the movie in its series of trailers, previews, and TV spots; I feel like I watched the entire movie while sitting at the bar last week. I'd rather spend time nerding out at the movie's official production site, a home to all the minute details involved in bringing Mike Mignola's comic-book world (and underworld) to life.
