New Sahara trailer can be seen here!

Woooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't wait to see it, thanks for the update DP ;)

That's good news. th:
Finally... Next few weeks must mean before Christmas.

One has to wonder if it will be attached to Paramount's Lemony Snicket which opens this weekend or possibly with Phantom of the Opera or Meet the Fockers the next? Either way, the official trailer is LONG over due from a marketing standpoint and needs to be seen by holiday audiences!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't wait to see it j: th: :) party:

I'm wondering if the trailer that is released to theaters will be the same one we've seen thus far, or a different one with additional/less footage.
Either way, let the hype begin.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!!

I'm becoming more and more hopeful! It looks like the producers are staying pretty close to the book's storyline - at least the main storyline(s). Has anyone heard the latest on the lawsuit?

dOXa.

I liked that Rudi was in the trailer (so that's what he's going to look like det: ) for me he's pretty close to the mark th:

I'm sorry folks but I really don't like what they are doing to Al...don't get me wrong I'll be the first in line when it is released here and I'll watch it with an open-mind but I just think they are ruining part of the appeal of Dirk and Al IMHO (Please don't hang me...at least until I've seen the movie ;) )

The trailer sure makes it look like a very fun movie and I'm sure all male members of my family will gladly watch it with me - woooooooo hoooooooo maybe that'll influence them to read the book? :unsure:

I like the trailer and it looks like that the movie will be very cool! I can't wait! I wanna see more stuff!!!

I saw the trailer and I found this coin! Can someone explain me the story with coin in the book? I can't remind me. thanks for your help! I Have to reread the book. cheers, reaphy

Now i can't wait until the movie comes out to see it

if ppl are wondering how to know how to get the info when movies comes out go to your entermation section in the net and click on movies coming soon.

t: w: so: det:

It is coming out on March 25 2005

The trailer looks great and it looks like it will be the action packed movie we all expect it to be. the concern I have is that the trailer makes dirk look more like a treasure hunter then the experenced NUMA team leader that he is.

:) :) :)

Yay!
Now I can't wait till the movie comes out

Wow. :lol: Now they're finally opening up their doors for a glimpse...

Start the htm-file, and there you have it.

I just saw it with lemony Snicket film, It def made me get excited and download the trailer. Mr. cussler is one of my favorate Novelists and to see his work go to the big screen is a great accomplishment. Thank you mr. Cussler for bringing Dirk Pitt from book to big screen.

I share your concern. :unsure:

"right mouse click is disabled"

Ohhhh is it March 25th yet???????? It is going to be very weird AFTER the movie is over because I will have waited for so many years to get to see it and then to have it be over will be quite surreal, but at least it will mean that I'll have SEEN it! I can't wait. Is it March 25th now? How 'bout now? yike:

March 25th you're lucky, I have to wait until April 8th yike:

I can't do, I really can't :blink:

Sorry Kel, if I had mad bling I would totally fly everyone into the states for the March 25th debut. We would rent out an entire movie theatre just for members of the forum. Ah dreams. b:

Sounds like fun.........hehehe all of us judges in one theatre yike:

It appears quite good but in my opinion (from what I can see) they're adding too much scenes with P. Cruz that aren't in the book. Do you aggreed with me? And what about the coin?????? <_<

sorry for my weak english

This trailer has done nothing for me.

Done nothing for me except get me more excited for the film, that is.
It looks like it is going to be an outstanding film visually, only seeing it will I be able to decide if it's been too badly butchered.
As I surmised, footage from this trailer was used in the Entertainment Tonight segment on the 17th.
Like oswalder said, is it March yet?

Oh, and sorry, Kel. ;)

I do agree with you, |bahamut, but I think I understand why they're doing it for the movie. Movies typically don't separate their stars the way CC did in the book. It's dissappointing, for sure. The boat's too crowded. as it appears they even included the other guy from the WHO. That probably is because they are running Dirk as a treasure hunter, and leaving the scientific stuff up to Eva and the WHO guy. I hope that's not true though. I wonder where she'll be when Dirk and Al are lost in the desert, I didn't see her on the land yacht.

On a side note I think the scene with William Macy does a pretty good Sandecker when he tells Dirk he's got 72 hours. We'll see (but not for another 3.5 months or so!).

Erik

Looks good. Although looks like the ironclad is a bigger part to the story than i remember from reading the book. Didn't think Macy was going to be good as Sandecker but looks good in the trailer.

Wow...I cannot wait until this film is out! It looked great and not what I expected. After hearing about all the plot changes and the casting of Steve Zahn, it looked amazing. I hope the film is as good as the trailer, I can't wait until the film is out!

Dave's Trailer page has a direct link to both sizes of the .mov - you can just right click and 'Save Target As' from here - http://www.davestrailerpage.co.uk/

Sahara is listed under 17/12/2004

It looks brilliant, but can't believe I have to wait until start of April!

:o The book was good, but the movie looks even better, although it doesn't see to be exactly following the book.

My dad and I were laughing at some parts of the trailer. Like when Al is dropping his guns, when Al is telling Sandecker about the Calliope, when they found the plane, when they overturn the riverboat, etc....

I signed up for the mailing list, just in case.

Well I saw the Trailer, I have to admit i'm excited, but concerned at the same time.
As someone else has committed, It looks like Dirk is a Treasure hunter instead of a Special Projects Director for Numa - if any other movies are done maybe we will see more of that - and I might be too concerned to early, its only the Trailer.

The Postives: I think Steve Zahn will be a good Al, though I picture Al with darker
hair - now I hope they have Steve as strong as Al is, Al is like a ox.

I'm kinda mixed on Matthew playing Dirk, but he looks like he is
trying to be Dirk, he could grow into the role quite nicely.


William H Macy as Sandecker, I have to admit I like him, the
trailer only had a small glimpse - but he looked the part.

Well I will wait until March, looking for anymore trailers. Even though Clive has some problems I still have too see it. beer:

I had this exact same disscussion on the chat room almost five months ago. I'd love to have that happen. All of us Cusslerites and NUMA Nuts in the same room= Utter chaos!!!! ;)

What book are you reading, Doxa? I certainly don't see it.

I still haven't seen the trailer on the big screen, even though I've seen the following movies: Meet the Fockers, Lemony Snicket, Flight of the Phoenix ...

I think it looks great! Sandeckers beard is all wrong though. :P

Here is the link to the movie player embedded at the official site. Open it and resize as you like. b:

Looks like a good movie to me. People are gonna have to face the fact- there is NO WAY to do justice to Cussler's books with a 2 hour movie. It just is not possible. Don't pick apart the movie (trailer) becuz it doesn't follow the storyline from the book to perfection. Just enjoy it for what it is- a movie based on a Cussler novel.

My thoughts on it thus far? Al is horribly mis-cast, no doubt about it. NUMA doesn't seem to be a main part of the storyline, but hopefully thats just on account that its a movie trailer. Other than that, I can't wait to see it.

The coin looks to be a Confederate coin that Pitt finds in the Niger river. Since they've changed the Lincoln kidnapping story, I guess the coin was brought in to link the ironclad to the plot easier. Its been a couple yrs since I've read Sahara, but I don't recall a coin in the book.

I've just spoken to a friend of mine in the states who saw the trailer while watching the movie Life Aquatic she isn't a Cussler fan but she had been told that Sahara was being made into a movie (can't think who would have told her...hehehe) and her thoughts are that it looks like a real fun movie, I think that seems to be the case with most people who haven't read the book, which I don't think is so much of a bad thing.

:o No Abe, no Tebezza gold mine, no Melika(not female anyhow), no Unicratt team, no O'Bannion. Oh yeah, they're really following the book. WHAT book I don't know, but it just might be a fun movie anyhow. yike:

There are some ways to do justice to Cussler's books... You can make the story shorter but the absence of Hala Kamil and the others are unforgivable. Well it reminds me Raise The Titanic- absence of Al Giordino! I didn't even like the teaser poster. But who konws since March 25...

I dont see the HOSTAGE called ABE !

And furthermore , which law Prohibits films be over 120 minutes .
