The Hollywood Reporter reports that Mark Protosevich has been hired to write the remake to The Poseidon Adventure for Warner Bros. Pictures.
The original movie was released in 1972 and tells the story of a ragtag group of survivors trapped on a passenger ship after it is capsized by a monster wave. The new movie, which is being eyed as a big-budget tentpole, would be set in the present day and follow a new set of characters as they brave fires, explosions and flooding corridors in their attempt to survive after a tidal wave flips the S.S. Poseidon.
