I wonder if this freshman will be the first of a whole new franchize of 3D films with Brendan Fraser, tho imo maybe they should just update Monkeybone next???

btw part of an article from the Guardian about the naming of the film you might like to comment on:

Does this spell the end of proper English?
Aida Edemariam - The Guardian, Monday June 23, 2008

It's enough to make purists wince. No, not the lurid colours of the poster - that's another wince-worthy issue entirely - but the spelling. It's for a film, coming soon to a cinema near you: Brendan Fraser (yes, I know, who he?) in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Cheerful summer fare it may be, but did it really have to be so cheap and cheerful that they couldn't get someone to switch an r and an e?

A publicist for the film says that sometimes these things just can't be changed, but isn't sure why, while the advertising executive responsible is unavailable.

Can't be changed? Are we to be overrun, willy-nilly, by American spelling? It seems to be happening in other industries too - Joel Rickett, deputy editor of the Bookseller, sees it, but mainly in "illustrated books - cookery books, and how-to books and things like that, which are more and more pumped out on a global scale with the American spelling".

Cant wait to see this! Especially in 3D because I saw the trailer for it in November (B)) and me and my mates wore the 3D glasses (as we were cleaning the screen :heehee:) and it didnt half $h!t us up some parts! :lol: (Because everything jumps out at you...)

I think ill wait for Bredan Frasers next film The Mummy 3 :w00t:

I saw the trailer for this... Looks like unmitigated sh!te to be honest, with a very tenuous link to the Jules Verne classic... A bad film using 3-D as a gimmick.... Which is pretty much in keeping with the 50s/60s tradition when 3-D films actually started....

 

This is basically one of these "Doug McClure" type of cheesy "dinosaur" movies with an inexplicably big budget.... The McCLure role itself being taken by Brendan Fraser.....

 

The Guardian article is spot on... HOW DARE these w/ankers use the American spelling for British audiences.... The book was called "Journey to the Centre of the Earth..", I could just about forgive Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" (not as a film though, unbelievably dull and patronising c**p it was....) because that was how the buildings were actually named, not so with Verne's book.

 

Bad enough they cant spell it properly, but now they spread their bad spelling amongst the British public..... Frankly, I find it offensive as someone about to study to be a teacher.... English is OUR language, it should not be "Americanised" for profit... The excuses the publicists are giving are frankly pathetic..... What, they cant get a printer in this country to print up posters with the PROPER grammar....? Absolute bollocks.....

I think ti looks a bit c**p to be honest.

 

Is that the guy who plays Dr Cox's best friend in Scrubs?

I think ill wait for Bredan Frasers next film The Mummy 3 :w00t:

 

 

yeah and me can't wait for The Mummy 3

Well, I quite agree - and to think that Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone was changed to the Sorcers Stone as the Americans couldn't cope with the work Philosopher :lol:

 

Bloody idiots and the film looks utter $h!tt oo <_>

This is a cheap remake of the Doug McClure film, its CR@P

 

And Mummy 3 is looking awful actually most of the original cast are not in it.

and just wait till it becomes a big big success and an sequel is greenlit - wont that be the soformore :lol: movie in the franchize

This is a cheap remake of the Doug McClure film, its CR@P

 

It's an expensive rip off of a Doug McClure film, and probably nowhere near as much fun.....

 

Unless of course you meant "cheap" in the sense of rubbish, tacky or naff..... :lol:

 

Is it possible that this film could be even worse than 10,000BC.....? :lol:

Yeah I agree I may not go and see it because of that :(

 

And on to this film it doesn't look great to me :(

Okay, against my better judgement I went to see this yesterday... But ONLY because the Cineworld I regularly go to was showing it in actual 3-D (and believe me, seeing this film in a 2-D version would be completely BEYOND pointless...), and I didn't have to actually pay for it.... Still, it's 90 minutes of my life I'm never gonna get back....

 

I can honestly say that this film is utter PISH, easily the worst film I've seen this year (even worse than 10,000BC or I Am Legend).... Beyond the admittedly good 3-D technology, there is basically NOTHING there that can remotely be described as a good, entertaining film... There is none of the elements that made a cheapo "Doug McClure" creature feature fun and entertaining, instead there is Brendan Fraser, a kid and a female mountain guide... And some 3-D CGI effects..... Erm, that's it really. You're in trouble when the most exciting thing about a film is an attack by killer fish, and even this doesn't last very long, oh, and the obligatory T-Rex, which looked rather like the runt of the Jurassic Park litter tbh..... The sighs of audience boredom were pretty apparent....

 

What a cr@p film....... Frankly, the 3-D trailer for "Bolt" was more fun.... -_-

Yes it was very cheesy and the 3D became a bit of a irretant at some points in the film (even more so than watching the Jonas Brothers in 3D on the Hannah Montana Concert)...but actually didnt think it was as bad as 10,000BC or as boring as I Am Legend and actually as for 90 minutes held my interest alright and more better seeing that than the love guru.... tho afterward I did go an see Man On Wire...which was excellent...

I do wish people would say that this is a remake of a Doug McClure type film. McClure was in the Edgar Rice Burroughs 'land that time forgot' novels. And these films (there was one also called 'the people that time forgot') were sh/te even for their time. Journey to the Centre of the Earth was a Jules Verne novel and it was James Mason who was in the original - and a very entertaining film it was too.

 

All the same - this seems like a load of codswallop. And for those hoping The Mummy 3 would be any better .... think again - saw it yesterday and it was beyond awful.
