'The Poseidon Adventure' Heads Back To Sea
[Tuesday, February 24th, 2004]
Wolfgang Petersen's Radiant Pictures and reality TV impresario Mike Fleiss are to produce a remake of The Poseidon Adventure, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Poseidon is an ocean liner that famously capsized back in the 1970s.
The original movie, released by 20th Century Fox in 1972, told the story of a ragtag group of survivors trapped on a passenger ship after it is flipped. The movie, produced by Irwin Allen, was part of a wave of big-budget disaster movies that proved popular in the '70s. It was followed by the 1979 sequel, "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure."
