Pics, Peeks, and Josh Lucas on the Set of "Poseidon"
ComingSoon.net has been all over the set of Wolfgang Petersen's upcoming "Poseidon Adventure" remake, and their Sandra Kraisirideja delivers a set report, an interview with Josh Lucas, and even some behind-the-scenes video!
"Wolfgang Petersen, the mastermind behind "Das Boot" and "The Perfect Storm," continues his fascination with the ocean's fury in "Poseidon," coming in summer 2006 from Warner Bros. Pictures.
This update of "The Poseidon Adventure" also involves a luxury cruise liner that is toppled over by a rogue wave on New Year's Eve. However, the characters in "Poseidon" have no relation to those in the original movie, which starred Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters and Red Buttons. The new "Poseidon" stars Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Jacinda Barrett, Jimmy Bennett, Emmy Rossum, Mike Vogel, Kevin Dillon, Freddy Rodriguez and Mia Maestro.
To generate interest in the film, which will be one of Warner Bros.' top releases next summer, the studio conceived a brilliant plan involving various online movie sites and a continuing journal that would be updated weekly. ComingSoon.net was invited to contribute Chapter Six to the Journal and we got the opportunity to interview Josh Lucas. We also have exclusive concept art from the film, the first official images of Lucas in character, and a behind-the-scenes clip featuring the film's star."
For a whole lot of ship-capsizin' goodness, head on over to ComingSoon.net, which is where you'll also find links to the five previous diary entries.

 on Oct 12 2005 08:43 AM [b]Why?[/b] Other than benifiting from more advanced visual effects I CANNOT see why this film should be remade. The original is fine. Is Petersen running out of ideas? Part of the charm of the original was the period in which it was made, the cast, the lol scenes with Shelly Winters bobbing in the water. There are other stories out there Petersen! I am aware that I am being a purist at heart, but why not just call it "Poseidon Adventure 2: How I talked Hollywood into raping and stealing from someone elses work again!" (Reply to this) |
