We have just learned from the BBC web site that director Ronald Neame died on Wednesday, aged 99. Ronald Neame was the director of Irwin Allen’s The Poseidon Adventure.
Author Arthur Herzog III who wrote The Swarm died yesterday, 8th June 2010, at the age of 83.

We have noticed today that the limited edition (3000 copies) Poseidon Adventure CD is already sold out at La-La Land Records. A lot of them have probably been bought up by dealers planning to resell them on, so you may still find them available elsewhere. Worth comparing prices though as we’ve seen some being sold for over 3 times the original price.
