Clash of the Titans and Journey 3D Sequel News
Mike Fleming at Deadline.com has a report on the development of sequels to Clash of the Titans and Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D, though both may have significant creative differences from the originals.
Says Felming, Warners would like Clash of the Titans 2 to be in theatres in 2012. "But," he writes, "they will make the journey without Louis Leterrier, who will not return for an encore as director. Sam Worthington will return, as well as most every other character that survived. Greg Berlanti will write the story and the studio is already canvassing the agencies for a writer and director who can whip the movie into shape to shoot before Worthington makes Avatar 2. Leterrier will remain peripherally involved as executive producer... The original has grossed around $390 million, on a $120 million budget with no real gross outlay. By the time it's done, Clash will be one of the year's biggest hits."
In terms of the sequel to Journey, the original's director, Eric Brevig, is shooting Yogi Bear and actor Brendan Fraser would rather wait for him than go with someone else. However, New Line and Walden Media are looking for a fall, 2011 release. Muses Fleming, "Fraser wants to be loyal to Brevig and is resisting New Line's suggestion of filmmakers like Brad Peyton. New Line's alternative would be re-fashion the film around Josh Hutcherson, who played Fraser's character's son in the original film. Such a move would save an eight-figure star salary, but it is a major risk to go without a star to return to a film that grossed $242 million worldwide."
