"Working hand-in-hand on Around the World in 80 Days has been an inspiring experience for us all, and fresh-off this first globe-trotting odyssey together, it only seemed natural that our next journey would bring us to the innermost depths of our planet and its many secrets through this ever-more relevant story.” “We couldn’t be more excited to embark on this thrilling new adventure with Slim and keep exploring Jules Verne’s deeply compelling and trailblazing legacy together," added Foundation Entertainment co-founder and CEO, Lionel Uzan. “We have loved working on the sequel to Around the World in 80 Days and now we are excited to also bring Ashley’s trademark blend of humor and emotion to Journey to the Centre of the Earth," producer Simon Crawford Collins said in a statement. "Ashley has developed an ensemble of exciting new and updated characters to bring a fresh and modern take to another of Jules Verne’s beloved novels.” Using this information, Lidenbrock leads a similarly dangerous expedition underground - one that could shine a light on the origins of humanity and its unknown future. The story will center around Professor Lidenbrock, a geology professor who comes into possession of a 16th-century manuscript created by an explorer who claimed to have found a route to the planet's core. However, Around the World in 80 Days is only the beginning. Slim Film + Television and Federation Entertainment have decided to double down on their Verne-inspired content with a small screen adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth(1864).Īshley Pharoah, showrunner on 80 Days, is leading the charge here as well.
Perhaps the most well-known translation is the 1956 film version directed by Michael Anderson that took home several Oscars, including Best Picture at the 29th Academy Awards. The iconic source material has been adapted several times across several different mediums for over a century since Verne originally published the book in 1873.
