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

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.

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.

I doubt they can outdo the original but if that were to be the case then I'd certainly like to see it.

I´m waiting (for years) a new good film about U boats or Fleet Boats based in real history:
For U boats (and Kriegsmarine in general), I want a remake of "Sharks and little fish". Or a film about the capture of U505-in Chicago they have the real sub for a film..... For Fleet Boats in PTO: a film about Mush Morton. Or Fluckey. Or Burlingame on the Silversides (also there is the real sub for the film). But another "Das Boot"? Best regards. Fitzcarraldo ![]() |

Anyone here honestly think the long times between action (film 6hrs long of what really happened) would suit to days audience ?
They want an action packed blockbuster (loads of $$$) and not a story to remember all those brave men on both sides that fought in the Atlantic. I say make a new sub movie and leave Das Boot alone, don't mess with an Epic |

Why? Does no one have any creativity anymore?
