Will Sahara fail like Raise The Titanic did

[Richard A. Krebes]

Here's a question I've been pondering lately: will "Sahara" fail like "Raise The Titanic!" did?
I think not, no matter what changes in the plot (which seem minor, judging by the trailer). Pitt and Giordino are at least armed and dangerous this time around, that's for sure, and Peneolope Cruz is WAY hotter than Anne Archer, especially bikini-clad.

IMHO, Raise the Titanic was Cussler's masterpiece, in that it wove many complex plotlines into a final denoument aboard the world's most famous ship - in the middle of a hurricane, no less.

After Vixen -03 and Night Probe! I have felt that Cussler's books have become more one-dimensional and, whilst easier to read, somehow less satisfying.

Therefore, as such a wonderful novel as Raise the Titanic failed so appallingly as a film, I predict that Saraha will be a smash hit.

I'm still going to see it - but I'm really waiting for the unmissable Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
