According to credited director Rusty Lemorande, "Only the approximately first 8 minutes of the film were written or directed by me. The remainder of the film is actually the sequel to Alien In LA which was tacked on and renamed Journey to the Center of the Earth in order to fulfill contractual commitments by the production company to foreign distributors.

The storyline of my version/script is entirely different from that in the above-titled film (the released version)."
