The survivors are left to fight for survival as they attempt to escape the sinking ship. About Emmy's Role: Emmy plays Jennifer Ramsey, a character Emmy herself likes to describe as "pretty feisty" and "pretty fearless". She is traveling with her father, an overprotective former New York mayor, and her boyfriend (Mike Vogel) together when the boat goes over on New Years Eve. Quotes: About her character: "I'm pretty proud that I can show a woman in a Hollywood movie that isn't the damsel in distress." About director Wolfgang Petersen: "He is the captain of the ship! He's incredible! You can be 30 feet under water and he's still directing you, you know, "more urgancy, more intensity, connection"." About her acting challenge: "It was a big challenge to show how people can react in this kind of situation." About the appeal of a disaster movie: “Wolfgang Petersen. I’ve always really admired films like The Perfect Storm, Das Boot. This is like Das Big Boot. I’m always really impressed by how he blends that kind of action-thriller suspense with character and with emotion, and what real people go through in these kinds of situations. He sent me this script and called me about it right after the tsunami problems. It just really hit home for me because I’d been watching it on the news every day. It really moved me because of that and realizing how the everyday quarrels and petty arguments that you have with your parents, or the people that you love, don’t really matter. Especially when you’re in these kinds of situations, the only thing that matters is being with the people that you love and being strong.” About her stunt work: "It was really the toughest thing I think I’ve ever done, movie or otherwise in my life. It was the most physically difficult thing I’ve ever done - to have to learn how to scuba dive and free dive. It was a pretty intense shoot. I was pretty much like purple from the neck down with bruises." About the "cage of death": "Our first day of training they introduced me to this contraption called the Cage of Death. I was like, ‘Can’t we call it the Cage of Life? I don't know. A little more optimism here?’ [It] was this Plexiglas cube that they would sink over my head very slowly and I would have to gasp for my last breath. I’d basically sit under water until I had no air left and then give them the sign and they’d raise it up until after I was basically half done." About bonding with Kurt Russel: "I felt like a lot of our scenes are together and the relationship between our characters is quite tumultuous, and I felt like I really learned a lot from his ability to improvise, especially in a situation like this where the emotional intensity is so high and some of the dialogue that’s written on the page just doesn’t seem right. He really took his character from the inside out, as did I as well, and just tried to make it as real and in the moment and spontaneous as possible." About the atmosphere on set: "Everyone was always having friends over to the set. It was a very warm atmosphere and there was a lot of laughter, if you can believe it, in between surfacing and going back under. Just sometimes noticing how ludicrous our job is at some points. You’re 20 feet underwater dodging bodies right and left. It’s kind of unbelievable." About the original movie: "I’ve never seen the original. I hadn’t seen it and I didn’t want to be influenced by the original material. I think I’m making a habit of that because I didn’t see the original Phantom of the Opera either. But no, I just looked at news footage of the people who survived the tsunamis and the hurricanes and things like that. I tried to base the experiences on that and find a real level. Somebody in particular whose voice I heard in a recording in a disaster I could identify with and gave me the key into the character." Comparing the two German directors Roland Emmerich and Wolfgang Petersen: "They're very, very different. Roland is obviously much more about the overall concept of the film whereas Wolfgang is much more invested in the characters I think." Josh Lucas on Emmy: "What impressed me about Emmy was how she jumped in feet first with any physical challenge." Trivia - During filming breaks, Emmy began recording her first CD. - There was a Plexiglas cube called the "cage of death" which was used to build up the cast's lung capacity. Emmy said she wanted it to be called the "cage of life" instead. - Emmy received the script for Poseidon just after the tsunami of 2004. - Emmy has never seen the original. - The "upside-down" set was built on top of a large water tank in the sound stage so that it can be filled with water and drained in a matter of hours. - Carol Lynley, Red Buttons and Pamela Sue Martin, three stars of the original film, attended the premiere in May, 2006. - Many members of the cast and crew came down with minor infections due to being in dirty water for so many hours a day. Emmy only had bruises and no other injuries.
