A journey to the center of the earth is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne( who also wrote Twenty thousand leagues under the sea, and around the world in eighty days). The story involves a professor who leads his nephew and hired guide down a volcano in Iceland to the “center of the Earth”. They encounter many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy. From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been proven wrong. However, a redeeming point to the story is Verne’s own belief, told within the novel from the viewpoint of a character, that the inside of the Earth does indeed differ from that which the characters encounter.
The film however would be quite different: The film will transpose the novel into the present day and will be mostly live action, with only the landscape and creatures supplied by computer-generated graphics. It also stars Brendan Fraser as Trevor.
