If movies are still being release this summer, Sony will put it out JUNE 12 opposite CANDYMAN remake & CHICKEN RUN 2. Just the German Conning Tower artwork coming out of the water was so cool looking. In one of his last screen appearances, legendary Hollywood star Clark Gable stars as a submarine commander whose sub was sunk by the Japanese during World War II, relegating him to a desk job in the Navy. The trailer for GREYHOUND looks like an intense WWII adventure. Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) A sub captain who is obsessed with attacking a Japanese ship alienates his crew. It isn't to make fun of, it's more about appreciating that this craftsmanship was what they had to work with. 2004 release The Life Acquatic with Steve Zissou, is one of comedy legend Bill Murray ’s best films over the last couple of decades. I love seeing miniatures and water tank work that isn't quite right for the scale. I love the more modern sub films like CRIMSON TIDE, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, U-571 - but films like ICE STATION ZEBRA, RUN SILENT RUN DEEP, THE ENEMY BELOW - they are just of another era - a magical time of make believe from Hollywood. DAS BOOT is the height of the Genre for me.
As someone that absolutely loves SUBMARINE films and Submarine influenced film stories like STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN or FANTASTIC VOYAGE. Looks like an action packed ALLIED forces vs the Nazi Wolf Pack Sub Squadrons. Here, let's take a looksee at the trailer shall we. Nope, THE GOOD SHEPARD novel has nothing to do with that feature, but Tom Hanks liked the novel enought to adapt the screenplay himself, produced the film and is starring in GREYHOUND.
Forester's THE GOOD SHEPARD - which is not to be confused with the Robert DeNiro directed film about the early days of the CIA. It was a film set in the Napoleanic era, with the Spanish trying to keep a massive cannon from falling into the French hands - and it's a great film to watch and then put on Werner Herzog's AQUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD - they've both got things to do with destructive obsession and insanity.Īnyway - most of that has nothing to do with the TOM HANKS film based upon C.S. Starring Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra and Sophia Loren - all performing for the great Stanley Kramer. That said, I love THE PRIDE & THE PASSION, from his story, "THE GUN." It was one of the first 15 feature films my parents had in 16mm.
THE AFRICAN QUEEN is the most famous of the films, starring Humphrey Bogart and Kathryn Hepburn for John Huston's insane direction - which became as legendary as the film alone. Now, I know - those are all movies from the mid-Fifties and earlier. The latest and worthy addition in the naval war films is Greyhound. Forester - the man behind CAPTAIN HORATIO HORNBLOWER, THE AFRICAN QUEEN and THE PRIDE & THE PASSION. Like other war movies, naval war films also offer a fantastic thrill. GREYHOUND seems to be setting itself up as GUNS OF NAVARONE style fictional WWII type of tale.
