Waterworld Director Says I Told You So: "It's All There in That Movie!"

Hollywood, CA - Waterworld director Kevin Reynolds joins the discussion on climate change and rising sea levels, warning that too much water will upset the delicate balance of humanity's land-based existence, Knudsen's News has learned.

Fishy, portrayed by twin actors Kevin and Raymond Costner, is shown here with his wife and daughter looking for a place to call home in a scene from the epic post-apocalyptic film Waterworld: The Day the Earth Was Wet

"I think that we will face some serious issues with flooding, and if we don't do something soon there may not be much land left to live on, and then things are going to get really wet and wild," the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves director told ZooTV News. "Can you imagine all that water just everywhere, the whole place just being covered by it and humans can no longer just walk around or sit on a park bench?"

Reynolds wasn't finished, adding that water isn't as comfortable or safe an environment for humans as land. According to the 71-year-old co-writer of the 1984 cult classic Red Dawn, his masterpiece Waterworld was ahead of its time in portraying mankind's damp future. "It's the year 2500 and the ice caps are gone, water has covered the continents, and the first of the merpeople have appeared. I warned you in 1995, and you didn't listen."

Kevin Costner, who starred in Waterworld as the half man, half fish antihero known only as "Fishy", recently praised Reynolds for predicting the rise of sea levels and the transition to a dirt-based economy.

"Today, people are frightened, because where are they gonna go," the Sizzle Beach, U.S.A. star said during a recent event in Los Angeles titled Sitting Near Kevin Costner While He Talks to His Friend. "And in this movie, in Waterworld, we talk about the oceans rising almost to the top of Mt. Everest, and people have to live on boats and poop in the water, and the water around where they live is probably just full of floating poop. It's practically a reality, not a fantasy or a far off future. It's here...today."
