Michael Caine: septuagenarian man of action?

The ever-busy film veteran is joining the de-Rocked Dwayne Johnson and original JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH kid Josh Hutcherson for the sequel, JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND.

And while Johnson drifted away from the seemingly vacant throne of action king in favor of family fare, perhaps Caine can help steer him there, or at least combine the two. According to Heat Vision, his JOURNEY 2 role won't be just an INCEPTION-style cameo but a full role that "will see the actor in action mode, engaging in several chase sequences, including one involving giant bees." (Oh God, not the bees!)

The sequel to the surprsingly successful first movie, now absent one Brendan Fraser, will be directed by Brad Peyton (CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE, yeah!). The story is supposedly based loosely on Jules Verne's "The Mysterious Island", and has Hutcherson joining his mom's boyfriend (Johnson) on a journey to a mythical island to find his missing grandfather, who clearly has a tendency to wander off.

Extra Tidbit: Michael Caine: literally kicking ass before Johnson was even born. Now go watch ZULU and GET CARTER, Nancy. And pre-order his his upcoming memoir "The Elephant in Hollywood."

I don't really see this being any good, but maybe I'll be wrong...

I hope Caine plays the grandfather in the style of an old man who has absent-mindedly "wandered off" to the island in his slippers.



This whole film stinks of old-people smell.

Michael Caine is the man
At his age, he can do whatever he wants without utterly sullying his rep as a talented actor and bona fide badass.



It's Johnson who'll suffer over time, not because he's not playing the action star, but because he picks the roles he does.



So, yeah, he may literally someday turn into the next Brendan Fraser. Decent with the action, alright at acting, and consistent...

This will be lame.
Don't care if the great Michael Caine is in this or not. All one has to do is look at who's directing & who's writing this to know that this will be nothing but fail.

With the cast coming along, this movie looks like it'll be pretty good. The Rock and Caine are both solid and can see them doing very well in a movie like this. It's awesome that Cain is getting some action time.
