Yes, indeed a three hour!! Laconia TV production is underway it's being developed by the BBC it has been written by the great British writer Alan Bleasdale (Boys from the Blackstuff / Monocled Mutineer / GBH). It will star amongst others Brian (original Hannibal Lecter) Cox and Lindsay Duncan. I believe they are using the still standing U-571 sets in Malta for the U-Boat interiors.

I'm actually happier with this as a TV drama rather than a movie, although the effects may suffer a little, I'm sure the quality of the story & character development will be much better than what Hollywood would dish out.
