Warner Bros. moves forward with Journey 3
No story details were given, but it is said that this sequel has been placed on the fast track, with the studio aiming for a 2014 release. Like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Journey 3 will also be a 3D family adventure, although no deals have been signed yet for any returning cast members.
Here's what director Brad Peyton had to say about expanding this franchise, which is based on the novels of Jules Verne.
"I grew up a fan of Verne, so I know a lot about the mythologies. Mysterious Island was one of eight or nine really seminal works. I know we've just scratched the surface of what we can do. This one's going to be a lot bigger. We're going to go to a completely different world. It's just going to be a bigger experience and we're going to grow the mythology. Journey 2 was about rebooting a franchise. Now it's about making the seminal work in the franchise."
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island has taken in over $270 million worldwide, with over $85 million of that tally coming from the domestic box office.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was released February 10th, 2012 and stars Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzmán, Vanessa Hudgens, Kristin Davis, Anna Colwell, Stephen Caudill. The film is directed by Brad Peyton.

@moviewiz001 Idea? Haha. Well, I'm calling it now. They are going the Georges Miles route. Dunno how they are going to a big enough swing to shoot up to the moon, or if they are seriously going to use space men with a hidden empire up there

@moviewiz001 If it comes out in 2014, that is about 2 years from now. It's not this year or next year, so it's not that quick or that soon.

the 1st one was a fun, dumb kids flick, the 2nd one maybe not better but visually incredible plus I love Vanessa Hudgens as always, but seriously for #3 they gotta get pretty damn creative if they're going to the moon
