Poseidon

The trailer includes the claim "From the director of Troy and The Perfect Storm...". I'm not so sure that will help to bring in audiences.

This remake of The Poseidon Adventure appears to stay pretty faithful to the original, meaning that it is an old-school disaster flick with loads of special effects and lots of screaming, hysterical people. Kurt Russell, Josh Lucas, Emily Rossum and a slumming Richard Dryfus lead the emsemble cast. It is unclear which actors are filling which roles from the original film, but I certainly hope that Russell has either Gene Hackman or Ernest Borgnine's role, and I pray that Josh Lucas does not have either of them. Andre Braugher has a small role as the ship's captain. The ship's blonde captain. I'm sorry, I like Braugher, but blonde was the wrong hair choice.

The trailer is a standard disaster movie trailer, so not much can be inferred about the actual movie beyond the genre that it is in. But for a disaster movie, is doesn't look bad. Or great.
