This is supposed to impress me???

1972: The Poseidon Adventure becomes one of the greatest "disaster" films of them all, with great performances by the likes of Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, and Red Buttons, just to name a few.

Now, check the A-list talent listed first in NBC's press release today on their "new" version.....

(thanks to www.thefutoncritic.com for the info!)

"THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE" -- NBC presents an edge-of-your-seat new version of the classic disaster film "The Poseidon Adventure" that brings the story into the 21st century. The three-hour movie stars Steve Guttenberg.....

STEVE GUTTENBERG?

Guttenberg...Hackman. Guttenberg....Hackman.

Chopped steak....prime rib.

Good Lord.
