Maybe Gabriel was also fooled by the script like Julianna, or he likes doing horror movies. He did play the devil in End of Days and stared in Stigmata.

Cool, thanks.

I don't know anything about the original script but on paper this movie had it all: a nice cast, big budget and fantastic production values. When I watched Ghost ship I had the feeling that in better hands the concept could have made a much better movie.
Again, I don't know what the amendments were but I do know that you do not put techno music and lame cgi in a horror film.

Thanks for sharing BladinRider54.
Margulies' words echo the thoughts of many associated with the film. It's a controversy and sore spot for some even after 12 years.
The potential elements for a good story were all there along with excellent sets, superb artwork, production crew and talented actors.
It appears the movie's perceived money making appeal may have been a factor in rewriting it more as another typically Hollywood slasher.
If Ghost Ship had been made the way it had been written after its first more "minor" revisions it would have been something new and a little "outside the box" for its time. However, taking a chance on something different was a risk some were unwilling to take.
It would be interesting to see if one day the film is redone more in line with the original concepts.
