That said, this movie sounds terrible.

Check this out.

Gore says we will live in Waterworld.

John Edwards claimed the future would be like Steel Dawn.

Jane Fonda's ex recently stated he foresaw a Boy and His Dog future.

"A hilarious film adaptation by Kawasaki Minoru of a parody of the famous 1970s novel Nihon Chinbotsu. Nihon Chinbotsu is the story of the Japanese people losing their homeland and being dispersed throughout the world. Nihon Igai Zenbu Chinbotsu is the opposite: the whole world sinks except Japan. The world's survivors all scramble on the small little archipelago occupied by the xenophobic Japanese. With Team America-like line of characters, all extreme stereotypes of their nation, you can't stop laughing. No one escapes the directors critique, from the traditional Japanese guy (who takes advantage of the situation and eats whale), to the Chinese/Korean leaders who suck up to Japan's Prime Minister, to the American Secretary of Defense who regrets not having started a coup d'etat in Japan, and etcetera."

Word is there’s an artifact somewhere that could reverse the rising and restore Earth’s land masses. Towards this end, a salvage team is recruited by the Vatican (now located in New Rome) to find said object. However, a billionaire real estate mogul has a different agenda.

Ok, aside from the groan inducing notion that once again we'll be subjected to a storyline where the Big Corporate business guy is OLDER and thus BAD, while the hip, rag-tag team of YOUNG stars who came straight off the CW are GOOD -- what the hell kind of "artifact" could actually reverse GLOBAL flooding? I'm talking about flooding SO severe that it has reduced actual continental land mass AROUND THE WORLD?

What, the search is on to find a giant RUBBER SHOWER PLUG that the hip, young stars can pull, so that all the water races to the center of the earth and we simply drain it all off?

Give me a break! The idea behind this ALREADY sounds MANSQUITO-level laughable!

Sell it to a network.
