Hey guys,
Love your site and magazine…
FYI…â€The Poseidon Adventureâ€
(1972) is FINALLY coming to blu ray on April 4th, as are several
other ship disaster movies around the same time. No doubt these are a tie-in
with the Titanic 100th Annivesary and Titanic (1997) re-release to
theaters…
Anyway…thought I’d pass on the
news about TPA….hopefully you guys will do a special issue for “The
Poseidon Adventure†in the future…Dec. 12th will be the
40th anniversary since it’s release and this film has a huge
cult following…would love to see a whole magazine devoted to it (just a
wish and suggestion…haha) I believe there is to be a 40th Anniversary
showing on the Queen Mary in Long Beach California and hopefully lots of the
former stars of the film will be there…and of course the die hard fans of
this film…
Take care and look forward to more great
articles…
Thanks so much,
Todd Leafgreen
Retro Replies: Thank YOU, Todd, for the kind words and support. You'll be happy to know that we're all Poseidon fans here at Cinema Retro and although we won't have a special issue dedicated to the film, we are already working on major coverage for later this year. We've got some super images for the issue and some rarities including the Poseidon Adventure Viewmaster set. We're glad it's due out on Blu-ray- should look magnificent. Can't wait to hear Ernie Borgnine scream "My Linda!" in hi def format! - Lee Pfeiffer
