Sean (Josh Hutcherson) accompanies his new stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) to find his grandfather (Michael Caine) who went missing while exploring a lost island.
After the success of the first film, Walden Media and New Line Cinema purchased Richard Outten's spec script, Mysterious Travels, in March 2009 to serve as the basis for the film. In the story, the characters embark on a journey to a mysterious uncharted island thought to have informed the writing of three literary classics: Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Jules Verne's Mysterious Island.[1] Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn were chosen to revised Outten's script.
In May 2010, Warner Bros. & New Line announced that Journey 2: The Mysterious Island will release on February 10, 2012.
Brendan Fraser and Anita Briem will not return due to scheduling issues, but Hutcherson will reprise his role. Dwayne Johnson will play the husband of Sean's mother and is forced to come along on a trip with Sean to find his missing grandfather, played by Michael Caine, on a mythical and monstrous island. In October 2010, it was announced that Vanessa Hudgens will play Hutcherson's love interest.[2]
The film was filmed at eight locations on Oahu, Hawaii, but predominantly in various parts of Waimea Valley and Kualoa Ranch. Filming also took place in Wilmington, North Carolina from January 10 to February 10, 2011.[3]
