Why Are They Making A Sequel?

Director Brad Peyton is making a deal to direct the sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth, but the original’s star Brendan Fraser will not be returning!
New Line and Walden Media are considering making Josh Hutcherson the lead character, who played Brendan Fraser’s nephew in the first film, now that Fraser is out.
But does anyone actually want to see a sequel to this??
We don’t remember the first one doing especially well — what do U think?
