Poseidon Journals, Chapter 5

Chapter 5 of the Poseidon Journals is now posted over at CHUD.com. The Journals are a weekly update on the making of "Poseidon," Wolfgang Peteresen's remake of "The Poseidon Adventure."

A different website hosts each new chapter, giving the reader an inside look at the making of a major studio release as it still in production. In an arrangement made through Warner Bros., each website will sit down with a different actor or crew member and discuss a different aspect of "Poseidon."

AND, each Journal will include exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, like this montage of Richard Dreyfuss at work on the set, along with some blue-screen footage of the capsizing.

A long time fan of the Irwin Allen original (his widow is Executive Producer on this project), I am reading these journals with great interest and look forward to seeing the final product next summer.

So take a look at a blockbuster in the making. (Links to Chapters 1 through 4 appear at the top of the CHUD Journal.) In addition to Dreyfuss, this remake stars Josh Lucas, Jacinda Barrett, Mike Vogel, Kurt Russell, Mia Maestro, Kevin Dillon, and Freddy Rodriguez.

Note: Hallmark Entertainment produced their own remake of "The Poseidon Adventure" late last year. NBC has bought the film and will air it on Sunday, 20 November. This made-for-TV version stars Adam Baldwin, Steve Guttenberg, and C. Thomas Howell. You can see a preview here.
