Mar 1 2006Poseidon Teaser Poster
Warner Brothers has released a teaser poster for Wolfgang Petersen's Poseidon, due out May 12. I feel it lacks a certain human element, failing to capture the panic of being trapped in a ship, struggling for your life. At least lacking in comparison to a crazy hobo on the street, pulling out his hair, screaming about how he was stuck in a luxury cruiser that drove him mad. People would probably just think he was a crazy, so if you wanted to really sell the movie this way, you'd have to mock-up some photos to prove his story. I don't know how you could keep him from running-off with those photos, or just yelling about random things unrelated to Poseidon, but that's always been the one inherent flaw in advertising.

How is anyone supposed to read that thing? It's all upside-down. Man, what a misprint.

I agree that the poster doesn`t coincide with the theme of the movie...unless they plan on making the new one about ponies and rainbows. Hopefull in the real poster they`ll have a sense of fear and panic.
