| What Beyond the Poseidon Adventure Could/Should Have Been |
In his book, I Hated, Hated, HATED This Movie, Roger Ebert reiterates Irwin Allen's original idea for a Poseidon sequel (which I had read about in a short blurb in a gossip magazine, and loved) — the avalanche-in-the-Alps idea — and recounts a conversation about it with Irwin Allen:
"... But what do you do for a sequel?
"I posed this question to Irwin Allen... He said he had an idea. It was, in all candor, he said, a great idea. The survivors of the Poseidon would be rescued and taken to land in Italy and be placed on a train which would go through a tunnel in the Alps, and the tunnel would collapse and everyone would be trapped under the mountain."
Ebert thought this idea was all right, but then, with tongue planted firmly in cheek, posed his own:
"After everybody fights his or her way to the top and/or bottom of the boat... another big tidal wave comes along and turns the great ship over again! And so the hapless survivors have to retrace their steps! ..."
After Allen noted that "(a) he probably wouldn't be able to reassemble the original cast, and (b) lots of the original cast members ... were killed in the original movie," Ebert suggested that Belle, who was a swimming champ, could "come up gasping, and you go on from there. Irwin Allen mulled over that for a fraction of a second, and then, almost inevitably, our interview was over."
As you can guess, Ebert saw the eventual sequel, and hated, hated, HATED it.
