Absolutely Pete!!!! I can see Sandecker smoking a pipe behind the big desk in his NUMA office.....and Pitt relaxing in the hanger snuggled up with Lauren admiring his car collection with a nice briar apple; or standing on the deck of a NUMA vessel with Al....smoking a billiard
Yep Harry Dresden should absolutely have a magical pipe tucked away in the leather coat of his...
NOLA, I agree, Sandecker would have made a great pipe smoker, but then he wouldn't get to rack his brain trying to figure out how Al is always smoking his cigars!
True...but he could do both....I've always pictured him as more of a pipe smoker when I've read the books...
True.
I also would like to see more Dirk Pitt movies. Sahara was pretty good, but I'd like to see something like Arctic Drift turned into a movie.
I think Matthew McConaughey did a decent job as Pitt, but I'd like to see a different actor for Al. Not that Steve Zahn is a bad actor, he just doesn't fit the bill for Al.
I though William H Macy was a pretty good Sandecker as well.

I agree..would love more movies... I was very disappointed with the casting though...William H Macy was ok as Sandecker, but I would prefer Jonathan Goldsmith (the most interesting man in the world)....and I would love to see Jon Favreau as Al...I still haven't come up with who should play Pitt yet....Matthew McConaughey just comes across too arrogant/cocky...Steve Zahn just didn't capture Al at all...that was a terrible casting job by the casting director...
So far David James Elliott (from JAG) is my top pick for Dirk Pitt...and Christina Hendricks as Congresswoman Loren Smith
I really enjoyed the duo of mcConaughey and Zahn, while not exactly as described in the books. They played the part like old friends and both did a good job of making an enjoyable movie and I'd enjoy seeing a second one starring them.
