Journey to the Center of the Earth (commonly referred to Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D) is an upcoming 3-D film adaptation of the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. It will be released on July 11, 2008. The film stars Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, and Anita Briem.

The film will transpose the novel into the present day and will be mostly live action, with only the landscape and creatures supplied by computer-generated graphics. The film will be projected using Real D Cinema technology, a format that made its debut with the release of Chicken Little. As such, it will be the first wide-release film to be released exclusively in the Real D Cinema format, as approximately 1500 theaters will have Digital 3-D compatibility by the time of its release.

The film is MPAA rated PG for intense adventure action and some scary moments.

The first trailer was shown during the re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas and the release of Beowulf, with the Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Movie, and during the 2008 Kids' Choice Awards.

Trevor (Brendan Fraser) is a volcanologist whose nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson), is supposed to spend ten days with him. When Sean's mother drops him off she leaves Trevor with a box of items which belonged to Max, Trevor's brother and Sean's father, who died years before. Sean suddenly takes interest in what Trevor has to say after he tells him about his father whom he never really got a chance to know. Trevor discovers in the box the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne. Inside the book Trevor finds notes written by his late brother. Trevor goes to his lab to find out more about the notes. There he realizes that he must go to Iceland to see it for himself. He brings Sean along for the adventure which starts by visiting another volcanologist. When they get to that scientist's lab they meet his daughter, Hannah (Anita Briem), who offers to help them climb up to the volcano. While hiking the mountain Trevor, Sean, and Hannah fall into a deep pit, taking them to the "center of the Earth." On their adventure they encounter dinosaurs and many extinct creatures, as in the original film. Subsequently the temperature of the center of the earth starts to rise and they must make a daring escape before the temperature becomes unbearable.
