Should we take bets which way this film will go – good or bad? Let me mix up some of the good and bad things going for it and see how you think it comes out.
Another adventure yarn trailer with the lead character Dirk Pitt played by Matthew McConaughey, what a dumb name…that’s the Dirk Pitt one!
Sahara is from a Clive Cussler novel, the IMDB reader Plot Summary doesn’t really help much more than the character name:
An African dictator’s nuclear waste disposal plant is mutating the red tide, and so threatens the planet’s ecosystem. It’s up to Dirk Pitt and his associates from NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) to find the source of the pollution and shut down the operation.
Cussler is also one of the Producers and his daughter Dayna Cussler also stars. Breck Eisner, who hasn’t really done much, takes the directors chair, and Pen√ɬ©lope Cruz pitches in for big name power.
Oh, and the last point, the Foo Fighters are playing during the latter part of the trailer. The last point wins it for me!
