Flight of the Phoenix

Dec 16, 2004 12:00 a.m. - Variety.com

Los Angeles: Remake of helmer Robert Aldrich’s 1965 "The Flight of the Phoenix," about an airplane crew and passengers who crash-land in a remote desert, shows both how far Hollywood’s tech departments have advanced in 40 years and how shallow the pool of solid action thesps has become. What would seem a natural vehicle for souped-up, Bruckheimer-like money machine has been kept more low-key in the testosterone zone, thanks in part to Aldrich’s son William, who as one of the producers has shepherded project since the mid-’90s. Slightly old-fashioned approach may dampen turnout of action-heads during the holidays, but, once pic lands as a bells-and-whistles DVD, biz will be combustible.
