"...a big old-fashioned rootin' tootin'
adventure disaster melodrama...
and it delivers what it promises."
David Hinckley, New York Daily News
"...a fitting tribute to the original."

phenomenal film ever made
in the entire universe!"

Bryce, you wrote this puppy! Well, adapted the screenplay, which requires a heck of a lot more writing than the words suggest.
You must be so stoked right about now with it premiering on NBC. I clicked on the Behind the Scenes and found it interesting. I wouldn't have the patience for working on things like that but I love reading about it.
Cool ad...
But how about some content? Say, some personal thoughts on what it was like to do this work?
Please let me know where I can find the music to the
song that the young lady was singing in the lounge in the NBC's version of the Poseidon Adventure aired Sunday,November 20th, 2005.I thought that was a very pretty song and I teach vocal music and would like my students to sing it.

The original Hollywood film was so tedious; why bother?
