One of the things that Kurson did really well with the book, that I doubt they will be able to replicate with the film, was the way he portrayed John and Ritchie as regular guys struggling to juggle commitments at home and at work, whilst dealing with the danger and intrigue of the mystery U-boat.
I suspect the Hollywood version of movie superheros will just gloss over all that stuff (and I also suspect that the waters of New Jersey will suddenly become Caribbean crystal clear... and probably also filled with sharks and other sea monsters for good measure).
Wow...
Was flipping through the channels a bit ago and came across an old episode of DSD...It was the episode about the Cornelia B. Windiate. Caused quite a bit of reflection and great memories...Back to the days of divemaster training, 9:00 on Monday nights, follows on the DSD boards and some book.
Got the drysuit down John...20 lbs with that freaking heavy undergarment....0 lbs with thinner...I'd rather be a bit cooler. I'll save the heavy one for the next time I go to the *@%#ing Artic Circle...
Find John Chatterton....and Richie Kohler. Everyone can answer...EXCEPT...Mr. Chatterton
Also...Check out the water everyone...This was 30 miles offshore...the Mike Norwood Memorial in November.

Truly missing him JC..........And I would strongly encourage anyone to not make a comment about Mask On Forehead![]()
vshearer:Sorry, read late last night and completely missed it.
RM,
I am thinking more along the lines of a Wes Anderson film? Something like Darjeeling Limited meets Life Aquatic (which I already thought was about my life anyway, so what do I know?) but with more action. Richie will be played by the guy from Fargo who gets put in the wood chipper.
Cheers
JC
