Journey 2 The Mysterious Island is the follow-up to the 2008 worldwide hit Journey to the Center of the Earth. The new 3D family adventure begins when 17-year-old Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson) receives a coded distress signal, who he believes was sent by his long lost grandfather (Michael Caine) from a mysterious island where one island shouldn’t exist. Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Dwayne Johnson), seeing the mission as an opportunity to get closer to his stepson, joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot, Gebato (Luis Guzman), and his beautiful daughter, Kailani (Vanessa Hudgens), they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant and escape before it sinks back into the sea lost forever. This film will be released February 10, 2012 and will be preceded by a Looney Tunes short film titled Daffy’s Rhapsody. The short will feature Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd in their first CG or 3-D depiction.

Also coming to theatres this week is the re-release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 3D. When the evil Trade Federation plots to take over the peaceful planet of Naboo, Jedi warrior Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) embark on an adventure to save the planet. With them on their journey is the young queen Amidala (Natalie Portman), Gungan outcast JarJar Binks (voiced by Ahmed Best), and the powerful Captain Panaka (Hugh Quarshie), who will all travel to the faraway planets of Tatooine and Coruscant in a futile attempt to save their world from Darth Sidious, leader of the Trade Federation, and Darth Maul, the strongest Dark Lord of the Sith to ever wield a lightsaber.
