Josh Lucas has joined the cast of Warner Bros. Pictures' remake of The Poseidon Adventure for director Wolfgang Petersen, says The Hollywood Reporter. Lucas will play the role of the ship-hopping gambler.
Like the 1972 original, the story follows the survivors of the S.S. Poseidon, a cruise ship that is capsized by a tidal wave. The survivors, trapped inside, are forced to work their way to the surface of the upside-down ship through the hull.
Already cast are Kurt Russell, Richard Dreyfuss, Emmy Rossum and Mike Vogel. Shooting is scheduled to begin June 18 on the Warners lot.
The screenplay is by Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman and is based on Paul Gallico's novel.
