Submarine thriller, what the hell? This category actually exists or what? Well, it looks so, and we’ll soon have a chance to watch something like that on a big screen, because, as you remember, Antoine Fuqua is on board to direct a project titled Hunter Killer.
And that’s a submarine thriller movie we’re talking about. Now, according to the latest reports, Gerard Butler has signed on to star in it, and, on the other hand Sam Worthington is being eyed for the major role as well. So, we’ll give it a try!
Hunter Killer is actually based on the novel Firing Point, and this story will follow an untested submarine captain who must work with a Navy SEAL team to rescue Russia’s president, who’s taken prisoner during a military coup.
The two sides team to stop a rogue Russian general from igniting World War III.
As you already guess, Butler is on board to play Capt. Joe Glass, the commander of the USS Toledo, while Avatar star Worthington is being eyed for the role of Bill Beaman, the leader of a special Navy SEAL unit called the Dev Group.
Relativity is aiming for a winter start date for this project, with December 21th release date.
Stay tuned for more updates!
