Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)?
a.
Indie film maker
Paul Chart
(
American Perfekt
) was originally signed to write and direct the picture and penned the original script. Chart left the project, however, after a decision was made to shoot the film in 3-D, uncomfortable with the possibility it would become more theme park ride than the epic action-adventure film he envisioned. The
Jules Verne
novel was apparently one of his favorite pieces of literature. Chart was ultimately replaced with effects specialist
Eric Brevig
and the script was heavily retooled to emphasize the new 3-D format.
b.
Adam Sandler
said, in interviews shown in the credits of Australian pay TV viewings, that casting
Eric Bana
made the fight sequence more realistic, especially because the Australian would be seen as the stronger combatant.
c.
The title was changed from "Looter" shortly before release to avoid any connection with the 1992 riots in Los Angeles that had recently occurred.
d.

Anna Paquin
s character state that she was previously a phys ed teacher. In real life, her mother was a phys ed teacher.
b.
The bomb that explodes in the ocean was scripted to explode over the town, vaporizing it. Boss Film actually did the effects sequence showing the destruction, but test screenings forced the filmmakers to re-shoot the end with the town being saved.
c.
When Trevor opens the box of stuff belonging to his lost brother, he pulls out an odd wooden item, declares that he doesnt know what it is, and sets it aside. The item is a Holmes Stereoscope, a device designed in 1861 by the American physician and writer,
Oliver Wendell Holmes
, for the viewing of so-called "stereocards". A stereocard is like a postcard which has a Left-view and Right-view photograph mounted alongside one another. When viewed through this stereoscope, the photographs are merged into one 3-D image (which was later adopted for the ViewMaster viewers and cards). The Holmes Stereoscope was a great source of entertainment in the Victorian era. It was, in a sense, the Home Entertainment Centre of its day, as it transported its users to exotic places all over the world. People bought packs of stereocards for their entertainment - in much the same way as we buy DVDs today! (Thus, a character in a 3-D movie having no idea what a stereoscope is, makes for a cute little 3-D in-joke...)
d.
"Academy Award Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on June 29, 1946 with
Fredric March
