New Line has released a new trailer and whole gaggle of new pics for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Josh “Just Wait Until The Hunger Games” Hutcherson and Vanessa “I Used to Be Zac Efron’s Girlfriend” Hudgens.

I realize I’m probably not the target demographic for this movie but whenever I see Johnson riding on a giant bee, I’m immediately transported to the world of Sid and Marty Croft of H.R. Pufenstuff, Lidsville, Sigmund and the Sea Monster and The Bugaloos fame, but more importantly, the Land of the Lost fame. Not the dreadful theatrical film with Will Ferrell, the delightfully cheesy Saturday morning show that mixed live-action, rudimentary green screens and the lamest monsters ever, the Sleestax. I guarantee they spent a fraction on those special effects of what has been spent on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist.  It’s a place of strange life forms,mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret.

Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), joins the quest.  Together with a helicopter pilot (Luis Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

“Journey 2: The Mysterious Island,” is directed by Brad Peyton (“Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore”).  It also stars Michael Caine as Sean’s grandfather, Alexander Anderson, and Kristin Davis as Sean’s mom, Liz Anderson.”

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island begins expeditions February 10th in the US, Canada and the UK. Hopefully it will answer the question, "Where exactly is 'the deadliest part of the ocean'?"

Enjoy the trailer and the bazillion new pics as well.

New Line has released four new posters for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. They are testimonials to the wonders of Photoshop, if nothing else. Vanessa Hudgens if certainly defying death with that one handed rope thing. The Rock looks like, well, like The Rock and we totally believe he could leap over ginormous eggs in a single bound. (The UK poster is below. The eggs look more like rocks. So The Rock is leaping over rocks.) Directed by Brad Peyton (Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore), Journey 2: The Mysterious Island stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (he will forever be “The Rock”. He needs to accept that), Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens and Kristen Davis​.

The UK trailer gives us a bit more footage and a little more insight into the story (because the domestic trailer was totally confusing *eyeroll*).

Journey 2 – The Mysterious Island is not a new album by a tribute band for a legendary 70’s era rock group,  nor is it one of those movies about a group of pets trying to find their way home after being inexplicably dumped in the middle of nowhere. No, it’s the sequel to that Brendan Fraser classic from 2008, Journey to the Center of the Earth. (Because that one was just crying out for a sequel.)

I must admit, there was a teaser trailer out for this film about a week ago, but it was so ridiculous I couldn’t bring myself to post it. This one is much less cheesy and seems to have taken the comedy, whether intended or otherwise, out of it. I still predict the whole thing will be more cheese-tastic than Philly’s official sandwich, but I could be wrong. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can do comedy. He’s always so unexpectedly hilarious on SNL and even managed to make The Game Plan watchable, but he can’t be expected to work miracles. And do not be fooled by Michael Caine’s presence. After Jaws 4: The Revenge, all bets are off. (Probably should have been with The Swarm, but what can I say, I was young.)

The synopsis: Young adventurer Sean receives a distress signal from a mysterious island where no island should exist — a place of strange life forms, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes, and more than one astonishing secret, so he partners with his mom's boyfriend on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on the mythical island.

Journey 2 – The Mysterious Island stars, along with Johnson and Caine, Josh Hutcherson (soon to be seen in The Hunger Games) reprising his role as Sean, Vanessa Hudgens, Luis Guzman and Kristen Davis. It opens February 10 (officially making February the new January.)

I think ‘The Rock’ Dwayne Johnson is some kind of sexy.  Nice physique and by nice I mean if he were on all fours on the sidewalk I would be on his back wrapped around him in such a stronghold he wouldn’t be able to get me off.  He he he.  I love his essence too.  I’m not that shallow. 

He and Samuel L. Jackson are in New York shooting ‘The Other Guys’.  This movie has tons of celebs in it:  Eva Mendes, Mark Wahlberg, Will Ferrell, Michael Keaton and others.  Brooke Shields’ husband, Chris Henchy helped write the screenplay as well.
