That very nearly happened to quote Wikipedia...
"Salerno's first feature screenplay was the World War II submarine thriller 'Thunder Below' for Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Pictures based on the book by Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Eugene B. Fluckey."
Unfortunately although the script was completed the project sadly sunk without trace. Maybe if Spielberg/HBO's "The Pacific" is a success we could hope for a ressurection. Let's hope for a TV series rather than a movie though.
