As you may have guessed, I have big plans for Kptlt. Ullmann. My girlfriend and I are both screenwriters, and she is also an independent film producer. My Peter Ullmann series posted here ("Der Spanier", "Breakfast At Lampedusa", and "Close Call") has inspired her to develop a film project with an Italian co-producer, set in 1943 prior to the fall of Mussolini, with a U-boat skipper as one of the main characters. The Das Boot interior set still exists at Bavaria Film Studios, so that could help us a lot!

As it turns out, I've become the project's historical advisor re U-boats in the Med. Nicht schlecht! Let's just hope the funding comes through! :arrgh!:

Vielen Dank, Alle!

Good luck with that http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Funny thing, I was prowling IMDB.com to find a German actor who could play a U-boat skipper, and Ken Duken seemed to me the right type. Then I learned he's already playing Werner Hartenstein in "The Sinking of the Laconia"! :DL

This article about that film contains pix you may not have seen yet:

Interesting: it states their budget was 12 million euros. For this type of film, that's phenomenal! Such a deal!

I will miss reading these installations but, am super happy over your good news.

Good luck, to go along with your superior skills.
Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
