Kurt Russell, Dreyfuss In 'The Poseidon Adventure'

[Monday, June 6th, 2005]
Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum and Mike Vogel are to star in Wolfgang Petersen's big-budget remake of The Poseidon Adventure, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Like the 1972 original, the story follows the survivors of the S.S. Poseidon, a cruise ship which is capsized by a tidal wave. The survivors, trapped inside, are forced to work their way to the surface of the upside down ship through the hull.

Russell is playing an ex-fireman and mayor who is traveling with his daughter (Rossum) and her boyfriend (Vogel). Dreyfuss plays a gay man whose relationship breaks up just before departure.

Braugher would play the ship's captain.
