'Secretariat' gets a so-so second poster

I don't know what it is, but somehow, I can't really get all too excited about Randall Wallace's upcoming Walt Disney horse drama "Secretariat." Maybe it's because I think it's impossible to beat "Seabiscuit."

Needless to say, this one opens Oct. 8, 2010, and a new poster has shown up online courtesy of Disney. To tell you the truth, it's not even as compelling as the previous poster, which itself was okay at best.

The cast, however, is promising, with Diane Lane leading the race. She will slip into the role of Penny Chenery, an American racehorse owner whose thoroughbred Secretariat won the 1973 Tripe Crown.

Chenery first stepped into the world of horses and racing when she took over her father’s horse farm in Virginia. She later became known as the “first lady of racing.” John Malkovich and Dylan Walsh co-star.
