I placed those capsule reviews on imdb.com, amazon, and elsewhere last year to help interested viewers sort out the different versions in the wake of the 2008 3-D theatrical release.
 
Film distributors will do whatever might help to sell their work, and slapping an inappropriate title on a work is among their milder sins.  Ideas from ERB's Pellucidar saga have often had JV's title pasted over:  another one is listed by Chistian:  http://www.jverne.net/cine/nucleo2003.htm

by Brian Taves

Journey to the Centre of the Earth (unknown)
Synopsis: Straight to DVD release that may take a Verne title, but is based
on a book by Burroughs (from Wikipedia)

Is this common for a film to be called one thing (but be based on something
completely different)?
