I don't imagine there's going to be much fan loyalty to either Louis Letterier or Eric Brevig for their first films in the Clash of the Titans and Journey to the Centre of the Earth franchises, and it looks like there's going to be no studio loyalty either. As sequels to both films start to gear up in the Warner Bros. back office, it has become clear that new helmsmen are being sought, with pace of turnaround being the real priority.
As far as Journey goes, there's one name being touted already: Brad Peyton. He's got Cats and Dogs sequel The Revenge of Kitty Galore coming up this summer, and I'm doubtful it will make for much of an auspicious feature debut. On the other hand, his "cartoon gothic" shorts Evelyn: The Cutest Evil Dead Girl and A Tale of Bad Luck were very well received and seemed to suggest he was at least going to become a director who could pack out signing sessions down at Hot Topic. Rather than Journey, I'd far rather hear about him going off to shoot Billy Grimm, the film he's been developing with Ginger Snaps' superb screenwriter Karen Walton.
