Turner Network Television (TNT), television's destination for drama, will tell the true story of a hospital brought to its knees by a horrific storm with 14 HOURS, A JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM, announced Michael Wright, senior vice president of original programming for TNT. Three-time Golden Globe nominee and three-time Emmy nominee JoBeth Williams (Poltergeist, From the Earth to the Moon) and Rick Schroder (Lonesome Dove, NYPD Blue) are signed to star in the two-hour original movie, which comes to TNT from Cosmic Entertainment, MAGNA Global Entertainment and Paramount Network Television. Shanna Nussbaum and Jay Cohen serve as executive producers for Cosmic Entertainment, along with MAGNA Global Entertainment's Frances Croke Page and Elaine Frontain Bryant. Gregg Champion (The Cowboy Way) is directing 14 HOURS from a screenplay by Danilo Bach (Beverly Hills Cop).

"This true story of how one hospital stood up to almost impossible odds to keep its doors open during a horrifying ordeal is drama at its most gripping," said Wright. "We're proud to be working with such fine talent both in front of and behind the camera, and we are thrilled to be partnering once again with Johnson & Johnson as we continue TNT's tradition of creating memorable, high-quality dramatic television."

"We are pleased to bring 14 HOURS to TNT as the latest in the JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM series," said Andrea Alstrup, vice president, advertising, Johnson & Johnson. "This exciting film tells the dramatic story of people pulling together to resolve their problems and helping others in a time of adversity."

14 HOURS tells the harrowing tale of a hospital in Texas besieged by a monstrous storm, one that threatens both patients and staff. But in a memorable show of community, everyone comes together to ensure that not a single life is lost during the ordeal.

Williams has starred in such memorable feature films as Kramer vs. Kramer, Poltergeist and The Big Chill, while also starring in such acclaimed television productions as The Day After, Baby M, My Name is Bill W., Breaking Through, From the Earth to the Moon and Homeward Bound. She also starred in the television series The Client. In 1994, Williams directed the short film On Hope, earning an Oscar® nomination. Williams can next be seen starring in the upcoming film Fever Pitch, the new Farrelly Brothers movie with Drew Barrymore.

Schroder's extensive credits as a child actor include The Champ, for which he earned a Golden Globe, and The Earthling, as well as several made-for-TV features. In 1982, he was cast in a starring role in the hit comedy series Silver Spoons. His career continued to blossom as he grew into adulthood, starring in such memorable television productions as Lonesome Dove, Return to Lonesome Dove and Texas, as well as the big-screen blockbuster Crimson Tide. For three seasons, he played Detective Danny Sorenson on the hit series NYPD Blue and recently starred in the A&E telefilm The Lost Battalion. This year, Schroder marked his directing debut with the boxing tale Black Cloud, which earned the Audience Award at the Phoenix Film Festival. Schroder has also been nominated for a Country Music Award as the director of the Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss music video "Whiskey Lullaby."

Champion has directed such theatrical films as Short Time and The Cowboy Way, as well as such television films as The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn, Dobson's Journey, The Last Brickmaker in America, Stealing Christmas and Miracle Run. In addition, he directed episodes of the series Walker, Texas Ranger and The Magnificent Seven.

Bach's writing credits include the original story for Beverly Hills Cop and the screenplay for April Fool's Day. He also wrote and produced the television film Escape Clause.

14 HOURS is the sixth TNT Original to be produced under the JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM banner. The critically acclaimed, award-winning Door to Door, starring Emmy-winner William H. Macy as a successful door-to-door salesman with cerebral palsy, was the first JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM, premiering on TNT in July 2002. It was followed by Miss Lettie and Me, starring Mary Tyler Moore and Burt Reynolds, in December 2002; Wilder Days, starring Peter Falk and Tim Daly, in October 2003; and The Winning Season, with Matthew Modine and Kristin Davis, in April 2004.

The most recent entry in the series of acclaimed films is The Wool Cap, which re-teamed Door to Door's star/writer William H. Macy and writer/director Steven Schachter for the poignant tale of a mute building superintendent who finds a new lease on life through his friendship with a young homeless girl. The Wool Cap premiered on TNT Sunday, Nov. 21.

A service trademark of Johnson & Johnson, the JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM development effort was initiated by Interpublic's MAGNA Global Entertainment. Johnson & Johnson has long supported the creation of quality programming, and through the JOHNSON & JOHNSON SPOTLIGHT PRESENTATIONSM series, the company has partnered with TNT to bring inspirational stories to the American viewing public.

Must be about Herman Hospital during and after TS Allison. Over 100 pateints had to be evacuated down stairs after urban sheetflow flooded the underground floors and parking areas where the power supplies were located.

Much work has been done since Allison to ensure this does not happen again.

Similar damage happen downtown when Buffalo Bayou overflowed into underground parking areas, then broke through retaining walls and entered the downtown tunnel system (incredible pictures of this) impacted miles of tunnels and underground bussinesses.

Yeah, the original text of the synopsis (in the first thread created by Southerngale) mentions it. Not sure why this one doesn't.

I've had a post-it on my computer for about a month now as a reminder to watch it!

I haven't seen a post mentioning that Southwest Alabama had an earthquake yesterday. I think it was a 3.4 magnitude.

I will try to find an link to the article and will add it to this page.

Quake jolts Coffeeville
Wednesday, March 23, 2005

By KAREN TOLKKINEN
Staff Reporter

Coffeeville Town Clerk Tina May was jolted from sleep early Tuesday morning by what she thought was a sonic boom. At the same time, about nine miles away, Coffeeville Mayor Faye Cotten's elderly aunt cried out that her bed was falling.

It wasn't until morning that the town of Coffeeville and the surrounding area knew what happened: They'd been hit by an earthquake measuring 3.3 on the Richter scale.

"It's just large enough to be felt but not large enough to cause damage," said John Minsch, a geophysicist with the National Earthquake Information Center in Denver who confirmed the quake.

"It was the talk around town this morning," May said. "Your bed shook and your door rattled and your windows rattled and you could hear glass rat tling in your cabinets. My husband jumped clear out of the bed from a dead sleep."

Cotten said she too was asleep when the quake hit.

"It's something I never experienced before in my lifetime," she said. "My bed was shaking and my window panes were shaking and I thought my roof was falling in."

Her elderly aunt asleep in the next room cried that her bed was falling, she said.

After the rattling stopped, Cotten said, she went outside to find a calm, peaceful night. She tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. She turned on the TV, hoping to hear news about what happened, but nothing came on. In the morning, several residents called her, wondering what had happened.

It wasn't until she got to the Town Hall that the county Emergency Management Agency called to tell her about the earthquake.

The southeastern United States gets a detectable earthquake about once a month, Minsch said. Within the last week, a measurable earthquake, smaller than Coffeeville's, occurred in western Kentucky.

The earthquake center maintains sensors around the country, including two in Alabama. Each sensor has an antenna that sends messages to a satellite, which relays quake information to Denver, Minsch said.

According to the center, the last earthquake in Alabama was southwest of Tuscaloosa on Nov. 7. It measured 4.0.

The largest recorded earthquake in the state was in 1916, when a 5.1 magnitude quake in Irondale north of Birmingham damaged dozens of chimneys, drained five wells and lowered the water levels in others, according to the center.

Coffeeville sits on the Bahamas Fault Zone, which runs from northern Florida through the Panhandle, into Alabama's Escambia County and west into Mississippi, said Dorothy Raymond, a geologist with the Geological Survey of Alabama.

Over the past decade, the area has had occasional earthquakes, but they're so deep scientists aren't sure what is causing them, she said. Coffeeville's quake was 3.1 miles below the surface. In 1997, four quakes rattled south Alabama, including one that opened a crack in a Conecuch County road. That year, officials asked for federal funding for seismic monitoring in Alabama.

Next year, the U.S. Geological Survey is expected to place a seismic monitoring station in Escambia County as part of a nationwide network, Raymond said.

"That way we can keep a better eye on what's going on down there," she said.
