 “So I was sitting in my hotel room a lot with the pieces of rope, tying specialized knots with my eyes closed, which is actually very satisfying and I highly recommend it to anybody who’s interested,” Briem adds, “Yeah, that’s weird. So that became the challenge. Now we find ourselves in this very seriously dangerous, life-threatening situation, how is Hannah going to save the day with a piece of rope? With two guys, I’m like how am I going to save these bozos from harm (laughing)?” The story of Journey To The Center Of The Earth takes place in a seemingly atypical location, the country of Iceland. However, Briem explained for us the possible methodology behind Verne’s motivation to set his classic story over there. “In Jules Verne’s novel, the story takes place in Iceland,” she explains, “They enter through a glacier called Snæfellsjökull, so that’s a part of Jules Verne’s story.

I think it makes the relationship between the characters all the more intimate and interesting and the audience can get more invested in these three people as we take them on this dangerous journey to the center of the earth.” One thing Briem says she was impressed by ... |
