Brendan Fraser is back in a big way – and quite frankly, I never saw it coming. Nothing against the guy, I just thought Hollywood had long revoked his dance card.

The Encino Man’s first big Summer release, “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” opens this week across the states.

And if director Eric Brevig has his way, it’ll be the first chapter in all new franchise.

The Rocky Mountain News – makes me wanna sing a John Denver song – asked the filmmaker where a sequel might go.

‘’At the end of the movie, they find a book about Atlantis. That might be something’’, he teases.. ‘’If people embrace the movie and want to see these characters on another adventure, we might come up with something.’’

Funnily enough, an early draft of Indiana Jones involved the aging archeologist finding Atlantis. One man’s discarded goal is another’s stolen treasure.
