Michael Caine Joins the Cast of JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND
It looks like Michael Caine is going to join Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson in the new 3D adventure film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. This is the sequel to New Line's Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Michael Caine is a freakin' film legend! So why in the hell is he going to be in this movie!? Has it really come to this? Maybe he just wants to have a little fun? Apparently we will see him in crazy action mode in the movie, engaging in several chase sequences, including one involving giant bees.
Caine is playing Hutcherson's grandfather who is missing in the film. This leads Sean to team with his mother's boyfriend (Johnson) and track him down.
Caine is a bad-ass actor that still has the ability to kick some ass in the movie's he makes, have you seen Harry Brown yet!? That movie proves it. I still think he should be taking on better projects.
As we reported earlier the film is loosley based of off Jules Verne’s The Mysterious Island, which follows five prisoners of war who who escape the Confederate-controlled city of Richmond, Virginia via hot air balloon. They crash land on a volcanic island east of New Zealand. Eventually the group finds a castaway on a nearby island, and has to deal with his former pirate crew. There are more secrets on the island, including one that harkens back to Verne’s earlier novel featuring Captain Nemo and the Nautilus.
The film is prepping up to shoot soon in Hawaii and North Carolina.
What do you think about Caine taking on this film project?
