Dwayne Johnson on working with Michael Caine, and his trailblazing use of pecs in his new movie

Who am I speaking to? The Rock or Dwayne Johnson? It’s hard to keep up.

You’re speaking to both, as well as Big Daddy (1).

How would you describe Journey 2 Mysterious Island (2)?

The film is a lot of fun. It’s visually stunning with some great special effects, some great action sequences, some great tension and adventure. Last, but certainly not least, I look great in 3D.

And how would The Rock describe it?

The Rock would describe the film in the same way that I just described it. But at the end, he’d say: “The Rock looks great in 3D.”

What was it like working with Michael Caine (3)? You get into some good arguments in the first half.

We had an outstanding chemistry from the beginning. I have been such a big admirer of Sir Michael for years now. He is humble, he’s gracious, he’s a man’s man, tells a great dirty joke. We had a great chemistry offscreen, and a great biting chemistry onscreen. Continue reading »

The New Line and Warner Bros. sequel is pacing 76 percent ahead of the first film in the select countries where it has opened.

Warner Bros.’ decision to take advantage of various holidays and open New Line’s Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in select foreign markets before the film’s North American launch on Feb. 10 is paying off.

The sequel, starring Dwayne Johnson, Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens, has already grossed $26.5 million from only eight markets, 76 percent ahead of the 2008 Journey to the Center of the Earth at the same point in those territories, according to Warner Bros. president of international distribution Veronika Kwan-Rubinek.

(Hutcherson, who stars in the upcoming Hunger Games, is the only returning cast member.)

Journey 2 opened nearly three weeks ago in Hong Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, where the Chinese New Year holiday makes for prime moviegoing. It also opened in Australia and New Zealand, where there are school holidays.

The sequel has earned $6.6 million in Korea, followed by $5.6 million in Australia, where Fast Five – also starring Johnson — did massive business. Continue reading »

Flicks and Bits Interview

In this follow-up to the 2008 worldwide hit ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth,’ the new 3D family adventure ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’ begins when young Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson, reprising his role from the first film) 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’ stars Michael Caine as Sean’s grandfather, Alexander Anderson, and Kristin Davis as Sean’s mom, Liz Anderson. ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island 3D’ is set for release February 3rd in the UK and Febuary 10th in the US.

How was it for the both of you shooting in Hawaii? Dwayne, I know you spent some time there during you

teenage years. And Josh, how was it compared to shooting on a sound-stage where much of the first film was shot?

Dwayne Johnson: For me, I was a punk kid running around there when I was 14, getting arrested, doing a lot of things I shouldn’t have been doing. To go from that kid to this man, to be able to have this movie pump millions of dollars into the economy, that w
