On the 100th anniversary of the original voyage, a modern luxury liner christened "Titanic 2," follows the path of its namesake. But when a tsunami hurls an ice berg into the new ship's path, the passengers and crew must fight to avoid a similar fate. More Info

I am guessing this will not be coming to a theatre near you...

Pretty bad, straight to DVD! It would be interesting to see how many movies and TV episodes have been filmed on QUEEN MARY in Long Beach; several dozen by now, I would think!

Since nearly 100% of tsunami's occur in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, the fact that one 'hurls an ice berg into the new ship's path' is almost laughable. And since most icebergs that pose a threat to shipping lanes occur mostly in the North and South Atlantic this makes it even harder to believe. And I'm not quite sure what the lightning bolt on the movie poster has to do with anything, just added for effect?

Even with that said, and the fact that hopefully most people will recognize that the Queen Mary is not a modern luxury liner, this may be worth watching just to see how awfully bad it is bound to be. I am surprised that any movie company even financed this mess, much less getting any respectable actors to play in it.

It was amusing to look at the movie production stills that showed the Queen Mary is an exact replica, of what I'm not sure, but I am guessing most people saw the James Cameron's TITANIC to know they look nothing alike.

Any volunteers to buy and watch this?

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

I'd probably enjoy the looking at the Queen Mary scences and the women in it look quite nice!

I'd definately buy it if I saw it for £1 and I probably will sooner or later!

From the film poster, I am guessing that QM somehow fell on top of another ship. Talk about a cheesy C-grade film.

Written by, directed by and featuring Shane Van Dyke who is Dick Van Dyke's grandson. He had a recurring role on "Diagnosis Murder" which starred his granddad and his father (Barry Van Dyke).

Made for TV?
