I'll bet this is a typical "in name only" sequel, where they basically remake the first movie with slightly different characters. Also, the words "direct to DVD" are flashing in my head. I can't imagine a movie directed by the star of Soul Man getting into theatres.
You know Grand Funk, don't you? The wild, shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong-rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The ... adequate drumwork of Don Brewer? |

| I'm pretty sure this is a sequel to the no-budget version Howell was in in 2004, which just happened to coincide with the Cruise version. I think the Howell one supposedly stuck closer to the book, but the fact it appears to have taken place in the present makes me think not so much. |

BT, I believe you are correct. I actually watched it on SciFi. No, it didn't hew closely to the book. However, it did have a couple of nice character moments that actually rose above the rest of the crud that was the movie.

This is the sequel to The Asylum's WAR OF THE WORLDS (their first mockbuster) that also starred C. Thomas Howell.
Take a look at what else they have coming out very shortly - http://foywonder.livejournal.com/116984.html

And now the trailer for ALLAN QUATERMAIN AND THE TEMPLE OF SKULLS. Excuse me, it's a teaser trailer - for a movie that comes out in a month. A little late for a teaser, don't you think?

I dare say this trailer does the exact opposite effect of what it's supposed to do.
