![]() ![]() Who knows, with a successful Sahara you might see the McConaissance kick off a few years early. My guess is that Cussler sued the producers as a face saving measure after the film bombed, so getting the film to be on time, under budget, and turning a profit would probably butterfly away the legal fights. If I had to play armchair producer, I'd replace Breck Eisner (who was obviously completely out of his depth) with a more experienced shooter like Martin Campbell (who at the time would have been coming off of Casino Royale), and knows how to bring a film in under budget and on time. Combine that with some really acrimonious lawsuits between Cussler and the producers (no one really knows the full story, but the fact that Cussler pretty decisively lost the original court case and still keeps trying to keep fighting that legal battle should tell you something) and you've got a recipe for disaster. ![]() ![]() Sahara had a really torturous production and a budget that ballooned out of control. ![]()
