It's not just Dwayne Johnson who'll be journeying somewhere new in the sequel to surprise hit Journey To The Center Of The Earth; Michael Caine is, surreally, looking like he's up for a spot of running away from killer bees.

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog reports that Caine is poised to sign on as the missing grandfather in Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the follow-up to last year's Journey To The Center Of The Earth, adding that his role won't simply be to be passively discovered at the end of the movie:

The role will see the actor in action mode, engaging in several chase sequences, including one involving giant bees.

Once again: Michael Caine being chased by giant bees.

I think that alone may have sold me on seeing this film in theaters.
