John Rhys-Davies would make a great Pultmier (sp) if any of the Clive Custler "Dirk Pitt" novels were made into movies.

(Raise the Titanic does not count, that was a horrible movie)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I don't think John Rhys-Davies would be considered short. IIRC, he was about the same height as Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones movies. If you saw a short Gimli, it was usually from behind. They only used his face for close-ups.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">You may get your wish. I don't know about Rhys-Davies, but Clive Cussler has given permission for one of his novels to be made into a movie. I forgot which one it was, but I read this not too long ago.

(and I agree with you, Raise the Titanic stunk to high heaven. Although I wonder, if they ever do a remake, how would they raise the Titanic in it's current state?)

Re: OT: Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow...
 

They made Raise the Titanic into a movie? I read that book. If it's the same one I'm thinking of. It was interesting. Read it years ago, back before Ballard found the actual Titanic. That was the first place I had heard about the Y2K bug. It was an interesting bit of background for one of the characters, that supposedly he made his fortune figuring out how to fix all those computers in time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: Ah, never mind. The book I read was not Cusslers novel, but was The Ghost From the Grand Banks by but Arthur C Clarke. Kind of the same idea I guess. But without the spy story underpinning.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I liked Clarke's ideas on how to raise both sections of the Titanic. I wonder how feasible it would be in today's terms. It would be costly, though.
