Thirty-four years after disaster film producer Irwin Allen inverted <br> <br> a cruise ship in the name of entertainment, Wolfgang Petersen -- who knows a bit about boat-themed cinema -- has upended another Poseidon and drowned thousands with $160 million worth of watery effects.<br> <br> Petersen, the director of "Das Boot" and "The Perfect Storm," <br> <br> aimed to close out his nautical trilogy "using all the tools we have to make it truly frightening and really realistic and really get across the idea what disaster is. That's what I wanted: realistic, very hard-edged, scary like hell." His <br> <br> version, based on Mark Protosevich's screenplay, keeps the original concept but scraps just about everything else from Paul Gallico's <br> <br> novel and the 1972 film, including the characters. Why sign on for a film where the actors <br> <br> take a back seat to the effects and you're guaranteed to be wet most of the time?<br> <br> For Dreyfuss, it was the hefty paycheck.<br> <br> <br> <br> Also visit my webpage; Titan Rise Performance - https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/?key=url&value=http://wiki.thedragons.cloud/index.php?title=User:IanEveringham60
