Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd set for 'Yogi Bear'

Anna Faris, Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake are the first to join the cast of Eric Brevig's upcoming "Yogi Bear" film for Warner Bros., which is prepping the project for a December shoot.

"Bear" will be a mix of CGI and live-action, much in the same way as the recent "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Garfield," two films that absolutely sucked (and looked terrible). It will be shot in 3D.

'Journey to the Center of the Earth' gets sequel

I don't think it really needs one, but last summer's 3D adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth" is getting a sequel.

According to Variety, New Line is developing a follow-up based on "Mysterious Travels: The Lost Map of Treasure Island," a script by Richard Outten.

The story follows Prof. Trevor Anderson and his nephew as they travel to the mysterious island featured in Jules Verne's "Mysterious Island."

The trade also said Eric Brevig, director of the first film, is teaming up with Outten to complete the script. Brevig is not yet attached to direct the sequel.

"Earth," starring Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson and Anita Briem, scored $101.7 million domestically. Although I halfway enjoyed that film, I also admit it failed to blow me away.

Eric Brevig to direct Yogi Bear flick

Eric Brevig is set to direct Warner Bros.' upcoming big-screen version of the popular Hanna-Barbera classic cartoon "Yogi Bear."

Ash Brannon was originally attached to helm "Yogi," but I have no word on why exactly he left the project, which the Hollywood Reporter says will be shot in 3D.

The trade reports the project will be a mix of CGI and live-action, much in the same way as the recent “Alvin and the Chipmunks.” In other words, Yogi and Boo-Boo will probably be computer-animated.

Brevig made his directorial debut recently with "Journey to the Center of the Earth." He also worked as visual effects supervisor on films like "Men in Black" and "The Day After Tomorrow."

Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia are writing the script.

FYI, Yogi Bear first appeared in “The Huckleberry Hound Show” before getting his own show in 1961.
