'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.
