Now that actually would’ve made sense. And as a train aficionado, I probably would’ve ponied up the ticket price without complaint. Cruise ships, on the other hand, are just Petri dishes with buffets.
Actually, you could probably say the same thing about Golden Corral, which is why I avoid that, too.
I think you just successfully pitched Speed 3: Sandra Bullock goes to a Golden Corral, only to discover that a terrorist has wired a bomb to the buffet set to explode the moment people stop breathing on the sneeze guards!
It sounds as if the director/writer wrote this script in his sleep. And speaking of Faustian bargains, the next time he goes looking for a job he'll have to tell the studio that he was completely responsible for "Speed 2." Good luck with that.
I feel bad for Jan de Bont. He was hot stuff as a cinematographer in the late 80s and 90s, lensing films like Die Hard, The Hunt for Red October, and Basic Instinct before finally getting the chance to direct with Speed, an enormous hit. He followed that up with Twister, another box office success, before making this thing...which is where it all started to unravel.
After Speed 2: Cruise Control, he tried to recover with a big budget remake of The Haunting that misjudged the original story and film's appeal and substituted fake-looking CGI effects for suspense. His next film was his last as a director, the poorly received Tomb Raider sequel in 2003. His career really did follow the same trajectory as a Space X launch: spectacular take-off, followed by a rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
But in his day, he was a terrific Director of Photography.
<<sinking the ship to keep it from running aground>>
I've been on cruises and I approve this message.
I wonder if there were plans for a Speed 3, aboard a high speed train? Gary Sinese would've been the bad guy.

I’ve gotta stop doing that. It’s getting out of hand.

Now now, he was DP after Speed 2 on some awesome films.
There was...wait, that was 1992...Oh, there....no, that was 1993...
I give. You win.
I'm cruel, but fair.
