Wolfgang Petersen's remake of the classic adventure drama The Poseidon Adventure has 4 cast members. Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum and Mike Vogel have signed for the movie. Andre Braugher is still in negotiations to also join the cast.

The original movie follows ten survivors as they struggle to escape from the ocean liner Poseidon, after the cruise ship is capsized by a huge tidal wave brought on by a submarine-induced earthquake.

Kurt Russell is playing an ex-fireman and mayor who is traveling with his daughter (Emmy Rossum) and her boyfriend (Mike Vogel). Richard Dreyfuss plays a gay man whose relationship breaks up just before departure. If Braugher joins, he would play the ship's captain.

Petersen is producing with Mike Fleiss and Duncan Henderson. Executive producing are Jon Jashni, Kevin Burns and Sheila Allen. Filming is scheduled to begin June 18th, 2005.
