Bavaria boss Christian Franckenstein told German trade magazine Blickpunkt Film that Das Boot is one of several properties from its rights library the company is looking to relaunch.

Based on the novel by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim, who was a war reporter stationed on an U-Boat during WWII, Das Boot is one of the most successful German films of all time. The film was nominated for six Oscars and launched Petersen's Hollywood career.

I'm torn... I love Das boot. It's a classic. Yet with today's tech it may be a great remake!

Couldn't agree more!

Well, we either get an even better adaptation of the novel, or we get a movie to ignore, and we'll still have the original. I have no problems at all with this

Threads merged and moved to proper forum.

Oh, and my own opinion: I love Das Boot, but I did have my complaints. This could be better. It could also be a lot worse.

Fingers crossed.

This is great. I wish they would also make some new WWII pacific side movies about the silent service. One can wish at least.

Same here. I really cannot see how they can match the original, though.

Yes, there are a number of compelling Silent Service stories that would make fantastic films, if they resisted the urge to Hollywood them up too much.

I don't really see the point of a remake. Except for a few dated special effects shots, and a couple points where the music is a little too synth-heavy, Das Boot holds up remarkably well. I can't imagine what good, in the words of one Mr. Harry S. Plinkett, HYPERCHARGING and ELECTRIFYING it for a modern audience would do. The original works because it's slow, heavy, claustrophobic, brooding, and so forth...hardly attributes that land butts in theater seats these days.

Trool323 · 06-26-15, 04:04 PM

@Neal I agree. I would love to see a movie about the Wahoo and Richard O'Kane. As for das boot, I don't know what else they could do except make the convoy attack and the depth charge scenes look better perhaps.

Update: German U-boat 'real star' of new Second World War drama

David I · 11-01-17, 03:57 PM

So, if I read this correctly, this will be a sequel that starts where Das Boot ended. Maybe going through to the end of the war?

I'd be OK with that. It could be an entirely different film in both scope and character. After all the original followed one patrol by one boat.

PS. IMDB says there are 6 to 8 episodes.

One of the mille-sabords member (Lazuli), who lives in La rochelle got a little job as extra in Das boot .
He post some photos and describe his adventure in the series Das boot (since he can't take photos while working, it's formally prohibited). It's in french but you can use google to translate.
