SET VISIT: Journey 2: The Mysterious Island - Part 1

We venture to Waimea Falls in Hawaii to speak with Michael Caine, Josh Hutcherson, and Vanessa Hudgens on the set of this 3D sequel.

If you haven't seen trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island , lets break down the story first. Sean Anderson ( Josh Hutcherson ) sets off with his stepfather, Hank Parsons ( Dwayne Johnson ) to find his grandfather ( Michael Caine ), who sent a distress signal our from an uncharted island which may in fact be the Mysterious Island from Jules Verne's stories. When they arrive, with the help of father-daughter tour guide team ( Vanessa Hudgens and Luis Guzmán ), they quickly learn that this is, in fact, the Mysterious Island, where everything small, in real life, is big on the island, and vice versa. They all must overcome the incredible obstacles the island throws at them to get out of there in one piece.

One of the actors we had the chance to speak with on the set was the legendary Michael Caine , the adventurous grandfather trying to find a way off the island. Here's what he had to say below, which includes some unique anecdotes about directors Christopher Nolan and David Lean.

Actor Michael Caine

Can you talk about how you were drawn to the project?

Michael Caine : I now have three new grandchildren, so I wanted to do a family film. I've done adventure films, but not for small children. This is really fancy. I mean, this afternoon, we were riding around on bumblebees. My grandsons are going to say to their friends, 'Can your granddad do that?'

Is that something you think about now? Whether you'll enjoy your films with them?

Michael Caine : Oh, I've done that for ages. I don't really work a lot now, so I only do something I'm going to enjoy for a specific reason. I work about once every two years, and it's been about two movies since the last movie I did, Harry Brown . This is very cute and quite clever. I was amazed at how clever the script was.

Harry Brown is probably a less typical grandfather movie...

Michael Caine : Oh, yeah. I didn't even let my daughter watch that one, and she was pregnant at the time. I said I didn't want her to see it, let alone the kids.

How challenging is the physical stuff in this movie for you?

Michael Caine : Well, I'm 77, but I live on the side of a hill anyway, in England, and I walk about four or five miles a day. I don't smoke or do any of those silly things, so it's not very challenging for me, physically. I take care of myself very well, and whenever I look around, there's always a chair next to me in case I fall down.

Dwayne was talking about how excited he was to work with you. He's a very physical actor, but he's also a very charismatic actor. How has he been as a co-star in the film?

Michael Caine : Oh, he's wonderful. He's also the nicest man, you know. The most amazing thing, I thought, about Dwayne, is he has a bodyguard. Why would Dwayne need a bodyguard? I need a bodyguard, he doesn't need a bodyguard. And he's bigger than his bodyguard. But he's lovely, and great to work with. He's great and very professional.

Are you a fan of 3D? Do you like the 3D in this?

Have you found that shooting in 3D affects your process at all?

Michael Caine : No, not at all.

You have entered into an iconic status as an actor. Do you feel that, when you meet people and encounter film fans, they have this wild affection for you?

Michael Caine : Oh, yeah. As I said, I don't have a bodyguard. People regard me as being like them, so there's never any animosity. When I meet people, they act like they know me as a friend, because I don't play people like James Bond. I play guys just like you.

When you work with younger actors like Vanessa and Josh, do they have to get over a certain intimidation factor, early on?

Michael Caine : Not a whole lot of that goes on. I'm very aware of anything like that. I like to work out of relaxation, so if I sense any nerves on the set, I immediately tell jokes or other things to relax a set. Sometimes, actors like to work out of tension, but the basis of Stanislavski, the one line that struck me was, 'The rehearsal is the work, and the performance is the relaxation.' All the tears and everything go into the rehearsal.

Is there an expectation from some of the other actors who look to you as a mentor?

Michael Caine : No. When I was a younger actor, I always used to ask old actors and successful actors for advice. Every single one of them said, 'Give it up.' So, I say to young actors, 'Don't even ask me for advice, and if any other old actor gives you advice, don't listen.' The worst thing about advice is it's free. If you have to pay for it, then it might be worth something.

What still gets you excited every day when you show up on set to go to work? What winds you up?

Michael Caine : It's like a sort of drug, in a way. It's getting it absolutely right and knowing you couldn't do it any better. If you get to that stage, it's great. You get to where it's very amusing, which is what we were doing all day yesterday down here. Dwayne and I had a lot of fun with the scene down there yesterday, which was completely different than the way it was written. It's the same words, just coming from a different point of view.

Do you have to put the same kind of work into this as you would with any other role?

Michael Caine : No, it's not bloody King Lear (Laughs). You have to put in the attention to detail in what you're doing, because everything is for effect. It's either comedy or drama or something is going to come up. I disappeared behind a load of flowers, but i don't know if they're going to do the bumblebee scene here because I think it's done in green screen. They're worrying how to get up this cliff, and I say I have a great idea and I disappear into all those flowers. Then, eventually, he comes up riding a bumblebee and he says, 'You've all got to get one. When you mount them, it's very easy, but don't look at them in the eye.' It's comedy and comedy is very difficult to do, to time right. It's more technical than emotional.

Michael Caine : Oh, he's a wonderful guy. I love working with him. He's very secretive too. He lived near me when he did the first Batman , and he came around one morning with a script. He said, 'I want you to play Alfred, the butler, in Batman Begins . I knew who the character was, and he said, 'Do you want to do it?' I said, 'That would be great. I've never done anything like this.' I said I would read it and I'll call you Monday, this is Sunday morning. He said, 'Oh no, I'm staying. I'll have a cup of tea with your wife.' Then he took the script away. He wouldn't even let me keep the script. But he's wonderful. I think he's the new David Lean. I know David very well, I wasn't in one of his movies, but I did all the back heads of the screen tests for Doctor Zhivago . Julie Christie , who was a friend of mine, went up to play the part. She said, 'Come up and play the other part with me for the screen tests.' So I went and Lean said, 'Will you stay on?' He gave me a free hotel room in Madrid. He said, 'Would you stay on and do the rest of them?' So I stayed on and did the rest. I've always studied Lean's work. I saw in The Dark Knight , if you think in terms of an action director, and that opening scene with the bank robbery, with the masks and everything, and then you see him directing actors and Heath 's opening soliloquy and ending soliloquy, it's fantastic. And he writes this stuff too. He's an extraordinarily intelligent man and director and he doesn't shout or scream or anything. You wouldn't notice him on the set.

Are there people that you show these scripts to and get feedback from?

Michael Caine : Yeah, my wife. I trust her completely. She can keep the scripts overnight.

One of the things that surprised me about Journey 2: The Mysterious Island , was that it was almost an open set. Waimea Falls Park is open to the public, and, while tourists weren't walking through shots or anything like that, passers-by could walk right by video village and other crew areas which were set up. Another thing that surprised me was the wicked bursts of rain throughout the day. It was still gorgeous weather, mid-80s with a slight breeze, but every so often, there would be these random blasts of rain, which would last for usually no longer than five minutes. When we finally got down to the shooting area, it was quite incredible to watch the crew cover up all the equipment, like a rain-prevention version of a NASCAR pit crew. While I'm sure that had to be annoying throughout the duration of a big-budget shoot, the crew were all certainly on their toes throughout the day I was there.

We also got to speak with Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens during a break from filming, and the duo were still in very high spirits, even after a very long day. Here's what they had to say below.

Actors Josh Hutcherson and Vanessa Hudgens

Is it true that both you've been injured on set all ready?

Josh Hutcherson : Slightly. Not injured. Hurt, I'd say. Injury I think is a long term thing. We were doing a scene at this place called Eternity Beach, which is a beautiful location and there's this little cave that we kind of go in and check out. We got into the cave and did that scene and cut and coming back out they were like, 'Watch your heads?' I was like, 'Oh, I'm not that tall. I'm not going to hit on anything. But I stepped on a little bump, I guess and then I hit the top of my head so hard I fell straight to the ground. I didn't remember the fall and stuff. I just remember hitting my head and then being on the ground. Then Dwayne (Johnson) was like, 'Oh, my God, are you okay?'

Vanessa Hudgens : I was a few feet away and heard a massive thump. That's never a good thing. Then we were shooting a scene down on the same beach and there are just lava rocks everywhere. I was walking backwards. Very smart. Before I knew it, I was on the floor. I got up and brushed it off like nothing happened and then later on someone pointed at my leg and said, 'Is that real blood or fake blood?' Now I have a beautiful scar to show for it. We'll always remember this movie. It'll always be a part of me.

Were you guys glad to get into the jungle and do the down and dirty stuff?

Do you feel a big sense of responsibility to this film now that you're sort of the sole one from the original?

Josh Hutcherson : Not really. I mean, I'm really proud to be the returning one, but the cast that we have now is such a cool hodgepodge of different cultures coming together with Michael Caine , Dwayne (Johnson) , Vanessa, and Luis Guzmán , this kind of whole weird, like, 'What? He's in it and he's in it?' So, it's this cool mix and I'm really proud of it, for sure.

Luis is a great character actor. How is your relationship with him on and off screen and how did you guys work on that?

Vanessa Hudgens : He is unlike anybody I've ever met before. He's just so funny. He's always cracking jokes and is always doing improv, which is a lot of fun. He's just an easy guy to get along with. You talk to him for a few minutes and you can't help but love him.

Josh Hutcherson : He's so funny. Brad (Peyton) , our director will give him some direction and he's like, 'I'll think about it. I don't know.' It's so funny.

Does he allow a lot of improv on the set?

Josh Hutcherson : Yeah. He loves to go for it.

How much do you think they'll keep?

Josh Hutcherson : I think a fair amount of it. Sometimes it gets goofy and way off track and that's when it's really fun, but they'll never use some of it. A lot of times, I think, they'll use some.

This is the second really physical film for you in a row. Did Sucker Punch and all the training you did for that get you ready for this?

Vanessa Hudgens : It's completely different. That was extremely choreographed, with all the fight sequences and firing guns. There's definitely no guns in this one.

Josh Hutcherson : Except for The Rock's arms. I love calling him The Rock.

Vanessa Hudgens : We're riding bees in this one. So, no, it's different. This is fun. This is just kind of like running around and having a good time. It doesn't requuire as much.

How is the action in this one compared to the action that you did in the first film?

Josh Hutcherson : It's actually oddly kind of similar. Some of the set pieces, or not the set pieces, but throughout Journey 1 there are similarities to this that kind of parallel each other. Riding the bees is kind of like being on the mine cars and being chased by the dinosaur is like being chased by the lizard. So, there are things that are similar, and so the sets themselves are in a way kind of familar.

How quickly did you adjust to the fact that you're sharing scenes with Michael Caine ?

Josh Hutcherson : There's a scene we've shot, we finish it today and started shooting it yesterday, and he's so amazing.

Vanessa Hudgens : Epic.

Josh Hutcherson : He comes up and he gets all serious and intense and I'm like, 'Oh, wow. Sorry.'

Vanessa Hudgens : I get genuinely distracted by him in scenes. They'll be having a scene together and I'm watching and I just get so sucked in and I'm like, 'Oh, snap out of it.' He's amazing and I adore him.

Josh Hutcherson : We've decided that we're going to ask him to adopt us as grandchildren.

Vanessa Hudgens : We're just waiting for the right moment.

Josh Hutcherson : You have to ease into that one.

How is it working with the new 3D on this one? They said this time it's a little less obtrusive, more streamlined?

Josh Hutcherson : It is. I mean, 3D, definitely, is an amazing technology that's come so far since the beginning of it, but definitely still has a ways to go, too. I think it's definitely a work in progress and we're learning new things everyday. Sometimes it takes a little bit longer to get set up because sometimes the 3D will go down and you have to figure out how to fix it and it's all computer stuff. So, they have this genius with computers on set that's always fixing everything, but it's amazing technology. The fact that you can actually sit down...and now they have 3D TV's. So, you can actually watch video playback in 3D, right there through like a TV screen. It's so cool.

Because of the pressure that shooting in 3D brings, do you feel pressure to make sure that every single take you do you get right so that it's technically right?

Josh Hutcherson : Well, there are times, definitely, where after you do a take and you messed it up and do the next take, they're like...the camera will go down and they're like, 'Oh, God. We should've gotten it last time,' but there's not that much added pressure, honestly.

Is this one going towards a different type of audience than the first film or will it be for the same audience?

Would you be willing to do a third one of this?

Josh Hutcherson : Yeah, we'll see, if Michael Caine is in it.

You may have noticed in the trailer , there is a scene where Josh and Vanessa are riding a large bumblebee. The scene we got to watch them shoot was right before that. It starts out with Michael Caine leading Vanessa Hudgens , Josh Hutcherson , Luis Guzmán , and Dwayne Johnson into a clearing, as they realize they have to get to the top of an enormous cliff. Michael Caine has a solution, though, as he runs off into the brush. Although we don't actually see it, he is supposed to come up riding this enormous bumblebee as a solution to their cliff-scaling problem. If you can't get a kick out of Michael Caine riding a giant, imaginary bumblebee, then I don't know what you can get a kick out of.

That wraps up Part 1 of my set visit for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island , which arrives in theaters nationwide February 10. Be sure to check back for Part 2 of my set visit, where we speak with Dwayne Johnson and director Brad Peyton.

‘A Journey’ Review – A Beautiful Yet Tragic Tale Of Death, Life, And Love

A Journey is a heartwrenching Filipino drama about a woman with cancer setting out to complete her bucket list together with her husband and childhood friend. It’s a beautiful and compelling piece of filmmaking about what truly matters.

I must warn you though, this film will make you very sad.

A Journey opens with cancer survivor Shane, her husband Bryan, and their best friend Kristoff, aka Tupe, celebrating her 39th birthday at a karaoke bar. Kristoff is a famous television actor and Bryan works as his manager while Shane runs a coffee shop. The three have been friends since childhood, while Bryan and Shane have been in love for just as long.

Not long after her birthday, Shane notices some worrying symptoms and goes to her oncologist. The news is devastating, Shane’s cancer has returned. After having suffered through chemo once before, Shane doesn’t want treatment this time. Instead, she wants to spend whatever time she has left getting through her “magic list” with Bryan and Tupe’s help. The list includes some fun items like seeing penguins, going snorkeling, and recreating her first date with Bryan, but also emotionally heavy goals like reconnecting with her estranged father.

A Journey (via Netflix)

A Journey is a heartfelt drama exploring themes of love, friendship, and the things that matter when faced with mortality. It may start with a bad karaoke scene, but this isn’t a feel-good romance where everything is honky dory in the end. The film offers an honest (and depressing) exploration of the often tragic reality of the human condition.

A devastated Bryan seems to accept his wife’s decision and even quits his job to spend time with her. He does, however, have an ulterior motive as he’s hoping Shane will agree to start her cancer treatments once the magic list is complete. Wanting to help, Tupe organizes an all-expenses paid trip to Tasmania for the trio. Shane is apprehensive about allowing her friend to pay for such an expensive trip, but she eventually relents.

A Journey | Image via Netflix

As lighthearted as the trio tries to be during their trip, the finality of their actions is never far from our minds. One compelling scene is where Tupe and Bryan debate whether life is about the journey or the destination. For Tupe, it’s about the destination, but Bryan sees the journey as more important. Shane, however, is acutely aware of how important each moment is and wants to spend her time making the most of it.

The premise of a cancer patient choosing to live to the fullest in their final months has been done before, most notably in the 2007 tearjerker The Bucket List starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. However, a movie doesn’t need to have a never-before-seen synopsis to be good. And that’s precisely what A Journey is. It’s a touching story about three childhood friends finding meaning in their lives in the face of devastating adversity.

I also broke down A Journey’s ending if you wanted some emotional support after that crushing climax. You can also read more about Penguin, Tasmania , where the movie was filmed. And if you’re interested, here are 5 romantic Filipino movies like A Journey you should also check out.

Everything you need to know about Dune: Part Two

F rank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune is considered one of the most important and influential sci-fi works of all time. If you love Star Wars, there is no galaxy far, far away without Dune . However, the 1984 feature film adaptation by David Lynch ( Mulholland Drive ) flopped critically and commercially, tainting the public perception of Dune in the media. Despite multiple television series in the early 2000s, it was not until 2021’s Dune that the novel received a proper and worthy adaptation.

Directed by Denis Villeneuve ( Arrival ), Dune stars Timothée Chalamet ( Call Me by Your Name ) as Paul Atreides, the heir to House Atreides on the planet Caladan. His father, Duke Leto Atreides ( Moon Knight’s Oscar Isaac), is assigned to serve as the fiefholder of Arrakis, a mysterious desert planet home to the most valuable resource in the galaxy: spice. It is Duke Leto’s dream to bring peace to Arrakis and form an alliance with the native Fremen, but House Harkonnen, the rival of House Atreides, conspires with the Emperor to retake the planet and destroy House Atreides. After a coup by the Harkonnens, it’s up to Paul to carry out his father’s vision and become the savior to unite the people of Arrakis.

Dune was named one of the best films of 2021 by many critics, winning six Oscars and grossing over $400 million worldwide. Paul’s heroic journey will continue in Dune: Part Two later this year. Below is everything we know about the upcoming sequel .

Dune: Part Two release date

Dune: Part Two will arrive in theaters on March 1, 2024. The film was originally supposed to premiere on October 20, 2023. The release date was moved to November 17, 2023, and then to November 3, 2023. However, the months-long labor disputes in Hollywood brought the film industry to a grinding halt in 2023, delaying the release of Dune: Part Two by four months. The film should be worth the wait, especially since certain theaters will present it in glorious IMAX 70 mm print.

Dune: Part Two cast

Chalamet will continue to headline the Dune franchise in the role of Paul. Returning stars from the first film include Zendaya ( Euphoria ) as Chani, a Fremen woman and Paul’s love interest; Rebecca Ferguson ( Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning ) as Lady Jessica, Paul’s mother; Josh Brolin ( Avengers: Endgame ) as Gurney Halleck, House Atreides’ weapons master; Stellan Skarsgård ( Avengers: Age of Ultron ) as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, leader of House Harkonnen; Javier Bardem ( No Country for Old Men ) as Stilgar, leader of the Fremen; Dave Bautista ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ) as Glossu Rabban, the Baron’s vindictive nephew; Stephen McKinley Henderson ( Lady Bird ) as Thufir Hawat, an ally and Mentat to House Atreides; and Charlotte Rampling ( 45 Years ) as Gaius Helen Mohiam, the Reverend Mother of the Bene Gesserit.

There will be no shortage of star power, as Austin Butler ( Elvi s), Christopher Walken ( The Deer Hunter ), and Florence Pugh ( Don’t Worry Darling ) have joined the cast for Part Two . Butler stars as the villainous Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, while Walken plays Emperor Shaddam IV, with Pugh as his daughter, Princess Irulan. Also appearing in Part Two is Léa Seydoux ( No Time to Die ) as Lady Margot of the Bene Gesserit, a close friend of the Emperor, and Souheila Yacoub ( Climax ) as the Fremen warrior Shishakli. Tim Blake Nelson ( Watchmen ) has been cast in an unknown role.

Villeneuve returns to direct Dune: Part Two with a script co-written by himself, Jon Spaihts ( Prometheus ), and Eric Roth ( Forrest Gump ).

Dune: Part Two plot

Dune: Part Two will pick up shortly after the events of Dune: Part One . The end of the previous film saw Paul and Jessica following Chani and the rest of the Fremen into the desert. Paul will now attempt to both fulfill his father’s goal of uniting the people of Arrakis and avenge his death and the destruction of House Atreides at the hands of the Harkonnens.

The official logline reads: “This follow-up film will explore the mythic journey of Paul Atreides as he unites with Chani and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family. Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”

When speaking about the plot of this sequel, Villeneuve stated that it is a “more muscular” film than the original. “The first movie was more meditative and contemplative,” he said. “We were following a young man discovering a new planet, a new culture. The second movie … it’s more of an action film than the first.”

Will there be a time jump?

Though the sequel won’t start long after the original, the source material suggests that the film might skip ahead into the future, similar to Avengers: Endgame . To explain, the book shows Paul living with the Fremen for two years and having a child with Chani named after his father, Leto. Whether or not the film follows this timeline remains to be seen.

Will Alia play a major role?

One important character is noticeably absent from the sequel’s cast list: Alia Atreides. Fans of the novel know her as Paul’s infant sister, who was born while he and Jessica hid with the Fremen. Alia is an extraordinary child born with adult intelligence after a pregnant Jessica drinks the Water of Life to become a Reverend Mother. Dune: Part One foreshadows Alia’s birth in the sequel, but there is no hint that she will have the major role given to her in the book. It is understandable if the filmmakers took liberties with her character, as a talking, hyper-intelligent toddler might be too jarring for audiences.

Is there a trailer for Dune: Part Two?

As of January 12, three trailers for Dune: Part Two have been released by Warner Bros. Pictures.

They hint at an epic, action-packed battle between the Fremen and the Harkonnens.

They also show glimpses of Paul in a romantic relationship with Chani, riding a sandworm like the Fremen, and facing off against Feyd-Rautha in the story’s climactic final battle.

Can you stream Dune: Part Two?

Dune: Part Two will be released exclusively in theaters. Unlike Dune , it will not be simultaneously streaming on Max. The streaming date will come after its theatrical run, ranging from 30 days to three months.

Will there be a sequel to Dune: Part Two?

Villeneuve has expressed interest in making a third film based on Dune Messiah , the second book in the Dune novel series that takes place 12 years after the events of the first. However, the success of the second film will determine whether Messiah is greenlit.

There will also be a spinoff series on Max titled Dune: Prophecy , which takes place 10,000 years before the events of Dune and is based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune . According to Variety , the show follows sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen “as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.”

Originally titled Dune: The Sisterhood , the series has seen numerous changes to the showrunner and cast. In late 2022, Diane Ademu-John ( The Haunting of Bly Manor ) stepped down as co-showrunner shortly after production began, with Alison Schapker ( Lost ) as the sole showrunner. Director Johan Renuck ( Chernobyl ), who signed on to direct the first two episodes, and Shirley Henderson ( The Rise of Skywalker ), who was set to star as Tula Harkonnen, left the project in February 2023 . Indira Varma also walked away from her role as Empress Natalya on the show due to scheduling conflicts .

Fortunately, Deadline reports that Olivia Williams ( The Crown ) and Jodhi May ( The Witcher ) have signed on to play Tula and Natalya, respectively. Likewise, Anna Foerster ( Lou ) will direct multiple episodes in the series, including the pilot. The production resumed in November 2023 after being put on hiatus.

Is there a poster for Dune: Part Two?

There is now! After unveiling the first trailer at CinemaCon and not letting the public see it, Warner Bros. has taken pity on Dune fans and released its first official poster. The first poster is below:

It’s fitting that the first poster focuses on the first film’s primary characters, Paul and Chani, played by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. It’s also appropriate that nothing else is featured except for a blazing orange sun, which dominates the desert planet Arrakis’ landscape. The poster gives off a vintage sci-fi paperback feel, which draws back to Dune ‘s literary origins as a literary genre landmark first published in 1965.

Recently, Warner Bros. has released character posters for most of the cast of Dune: Part Two . While all of them are striking, our favorite one is perhaps Lady Jessica’s poster, which is truly haunting.

Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides.

Zendaya as Chani.

Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen.

Christopher Walken as Shaddam IV.

Oppenheimer ‘s Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan.

Javier Bardem as Stilgar.

Léa Seydoux as Lady Margot.

Josh Brolin as Gurney Halleck.

Stellan Skarsgård as Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.

Dave Bautista as Glossu Rabban.
