I saw the thread on scuba or underwater movies and it got me thinking. We've all read about movies that they have talked about making, but never made.
I would think the following are marketable and would make great dive/water based movies if done well.
1) Story of the S5. If you dont know the S5 - go read about it. The story is absolutely amazing.
2) Andrea Doria/ Seeker /60s/70s/80s. Lots of drama around the personalities and dive boats and dive themselves, especially with so many early deaths. Tie that to the actual Doria and a really cool movie could happen.
3) Shadow Divers/The last Dive - I know some of the content is contraversial between these two but that itself could be worked into a film. The story of life and death, family, discover, and the wreck itself. Some sort of battle between the two incident recounts, the search for the sub, tied with the history of the sub - and tie in the horrible tragedy of the Rouse family. I believe there is a great move here. YES - I know that Shadow Divers itself was in production talks for YEARS but I dont think it ever happened. I think a different angle tying in all the contraversy between the two books and the several sets of strong personalities...juxtaposed with the history of the sub - that could sell.
Any others?
