October 23, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

catalina-sandino-MorenoMaria Full Of Grace and Che actress Catalina Sandino Moreno has replaced Rosario Dawson in Brad Peyton’s supernatural thriller Incarnate, according to THR. Dawson was forced to leave the project due to scheduling issues.

The film is about an unconventional exorcist (Aaron Eckhart), who has the ability to invade the mind of the possessed. He meets his match when a 9-year-old boy becomes possessed by a demon from his past.

Brad Peyton is set to direct from a script by Ronnie Christensen. He is also producing alongside Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions. Filming begins this November in Los Angeles.

Dwayne Johnson Up For Earthquake Thriller San Andreas: 3D

October 15, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

dwayne-johnsonOver the last few years there have been numerous earthquake-based disaster flicks that have been put into development, but none have shown up in cinemas yet. Now one is moving forward, as Variety reports that Dwayne Johnson is reuniting with Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton for San Andreas: 3D.

Johnson will play a man who travels across California to rescue his estranged daughter after a massive earthquake strikes. The project has been in development at New Line Cinema since 2011, when Allan Loeb (The Switch) signed on to rewrite the original script by Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore (Special). Lost’s Carlton Cuse signed on to rewrite the script in 2012, although the most recent draft was written by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes (The Conjuring).

The current plan is to shoot in the first quarter of 2014, although there’s no news on when it might be in cinemas.

Aaron Eckhart Will Be Incarnate For Insidious Producer Jason Blum

September 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

aaron-eckhartProducer Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions is the king on horror at the moment, backing the likes of Paranormal Activity, Sinister, and Insidious. Now they’re teaming up with Aaron Eckhart on what they hope will be their next franchise, Incarnate, according to Deadline.

The movie is about an unorthodox exorcist (Eckhart) who has the ability to peer inside the subconscious of a possessed person. He is faced with his most difficult challenge yet when he learns that a nine-year-old boy is possessed by a malevolent demon from his past.

Brad Peyton (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) is set to direct from a screenplay by Ronnie Christensen (Dark Tide). There’s no news when it might shoot.

Journey 2 Helmer Brad Peyton Takes On San Andreas 3D

June 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

With Hollwod’s fascination with 3D at the moment, it’s almost surprising it’s taken until now for someone to come forward with the idea of making an earthquake based disaster epic in three-dimensions (if you ignore Brad Bird’s long stalled film about the 1908 San Francisco quake). However now New Line is developing San Andreas 3D, which will rip apart the famous California fault line and cause some major mayhem.

THR reports that Journey 2 helmer Brad Peyton has just been hired to direct the movie, adding it to a slate that already includes a third Journey movie (which is likely to take a trip to the moon) and a live-action film based on the DC Comics character Lobo. Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore wrote the San Andreas script, with Allan Loeb (Rock of Ages, The Dilemma, Just Go With It) brought in to do a re-write. The film will have a budget of approximately $100 million.

Earthquake films always have the potential to be fun, but Warner and New Line seem to be betting big on Peyton being a major new talent. While Journey 2 hit is big, it’s still early to say whether Peyton can follow that up with more successes.

Journey 2 Director Brad Peyton Takes On DC Comics Adaptation Lobo

April 23, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

DC Comics character Lobo has been up for a movie adaptation for years, going through various hands but never actually getting that close to being made. Now Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton has signed up to re-write the screenplay and direct Lobo, according to Deadline.

Back in January 2010, Guy Ritchie left the project to direct the fast-tracked sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It’s taken a couple of years to get it going again, but now the film is moving forward with Peyton attached.

Lobo is an interstellar bounty hunter and mercenary who travels the galaxy looking for his next target. The character was created in 1984 by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen, and initially popped up as an occasional villain. However he reached his greatest levels of popularity in the 1990s, when he was resurrected as a renegade biker.

Dwayne Johnson In Talks For Journey 3

March 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While he’s done it fairly quietly, Dwayne Johnson has become one fo the few actors around consistently churning out hit movies. Many have suggested it was his presence that ensured the recent Journey 2 turned into a far bigger box office draw than anyone had expected.

Warner/New Line is already at work on a third Journey movie, and now TheWrap suggests Johnson is in talks to return as Hank in Journey 3. A couple of days ago, director Brad Peyton and screenwriters Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn signed on for the third movie. No details on the story have been revealed yet, but Peyton has suggested it will be based on another of Jules Verne’s classic tales.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was a follow-up to 2008’s Journey to the Center of the Earth, although Josh Hutcherson was the only actor to return for the second installment, portraying Sean. Dwayne Johnson played Sean’s stepfather Hank in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, and it seems Hank will be imparting more wisdom (and pec-pops) to Sean in Journey 3, even though Josh Hutcherson hasn’t officially signed on yet.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island has grossed over $280 million worldwide since opening in early February. No production schedule was given for Journey 3, although Warner Bros. is eyeing a 2014 release.

Warner Bros. Greenlights Journey 3, With Brad Peyton Directing

March 7, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was one of those movies that people in film circles completely ignored (or perhaps just wondered why it had been made), while average filmgoers lapped it up and turned it into a surprise hit – it’s grossed $270 million so far – with the movie substantially outgrossing its predecessor, Journey To The Center Of The Earth.

Now Warner has moved fast to give the greenlight to a third film in the franchise, with THR reporting they’re bringing back director Brad Peyton and screenwriters Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn for Journey 3.

No story details are known, but the studio is already aiming for a 2014 release for the 3D family film. No deals have been signed yet for any returning cast members, and it’s not certain if Josh Hutcherson’s contract included sequel clauses.

Here’s what director Brad Peyton had to say about expanding this Jules Verne based franchise, “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 UK Trailer

November 26, 2011 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment



To watch this video, you need the latest Flash-Player and active javascript in your browser.


Parody trailers that make a movie from one genre look like it’s from another (e.g. making The Shining seems like a comedy) are popular of Youtube, and now we have the same thing for an actual movie. The US trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island hit a couple of weeks ago and painted this follow-up to Journey To The Center Of The Earth as a rather silly, fun family romp, but not the UK trailer turns everything far darker and more dramatic (until the end at least). It does look like it might be oddly entertaining though. Brendan Fraser bailed on this one after director Erik Brevig was replaced by Brad Peyton, and so this time Dwayne Johnson’s along for the ride, playing Hutcherson’s prospective stepfather, while Vanessa Hudgens and Luis Guzman also have to deal with various strange beasties on the titular island, all while looking for Michael Caine! It’s due in cinemas February 10th.
