John Chatterton / U-869 movie

[NJMike]

A movie was supposed to come out last year about the discovery of U-869 by Chatterton and Koehler.

I think I got the U-boat number right, sorry if it's wrong.

I never did see a movie come out though. Did I miss it? Is it still in the works?

At one time they had Ridley Scott listed as the director.... that got changed sometime a year or so ago...

We has some fun in this thread http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/ba...rtons-interview-scubaboard-9.html#post3903736 discussing who would play what part....

Even Chatterton replied jokingly to the suggestions.....


Here was my post of suggestions for your humor entertainment.

so.... lets ask this question? "Who would you choose?"



Here are some practical but humorous suggestions..



For John Chatterton, how about Chris Hanson from NBC Dateline & "To Catch a Predator", or Jeff Bridges?

For Richie Kohler, how about Ron Jeremy?

For Gary Gentile, how about Tom Berenger?

For Steve Belinda (of the Wahoo), how about the guy who played Capt Kangeroo?

I don't have a good Bill Nagle, pic, but how about Willem Dafoe?

If Robert Kurson is actually in the movie, how about Wayne Knight who played "Newman" on Seinfield?

Any other "good suggestions?" (or funny ones?)

yeah... it was all in humor...


feel free to post a comparison picture of you and Belinda!



Some other suggestions from that above referenced thread..

well also suggested in the past, by John and Richie themselves, was Danny Devito for Richie

And MeatLoaf for Chatterton

edit: 1/29/09 - new meatloaf pic changed from original thread. old pic not available anymore

How about Omid Djalili from the Mummy as Richie?

 

[ReefHound]

How about Will Ferrel for Chatterton?

 

[HowardE]

I think they should go with this look for Richie

mike_s really nailed it. But ... maybe Jon Polito for Kohler? Just a thought.

Hey maybe once they make the movie, Gary Gentile will make a not as enjoyable, but more believable version?

But it will only be available on You-Tube! (or since it's about U-boats...U-Tube!)
