Do we really need to see J.J. Abrams do a Natural Disaster Flick?

Apparently J.J. Abrams is planning on making a natural disaster flick based around an earthquake. I am somewhat of an J.J. Abrams fan. I loved Cloverfield (except for some of the dialouge), Lost is one of the best shows ever, I cant wait for the new Star Trek, and Alias wasn't half bad. here is what latinoreview.com has to say:

The producer and David Seltzer, the screenwriter of the original "Omen," are working together to shake up audiences with a disaster flick for Universal involving an earthquake.

The project is untitled and not intended to be a remake of Universal's 1974 movie "Earthquake." That film, released in the middle of that decade's disaster-flick frenzy that famously used "Sensurround" -- really just cranked-up bass -- to enhance the experience and became part of its popular studio tour.

Details of the story are being kept in a seemingly tremor-proof vault, though as is Abrams' modus operandi, relationships will be at the core of the project. Abrams arguably rewrote the rules for disaster flicks with "Cloverfield," which thrust the big story to the background by making the audience see the bedlam through the prism of a personal relationship.

Abrams is producing with Bryan Burk and Sherryl Clark via the trio's Bad Robot banner.

Abrams, repped by WMA, is finishing up directing "Star Trek" for its May 2009 release. At the moment, he only plans to produce the "Earthquake" revamp.

For anyone who has never been in an earthquake, they generally don't last longer than 30 seconds. How you make a 90 minute flick on an earthquake, and make it interesting, is beyond me. maybe this will be the next film in The Cloverfield saga.
