OT: Submarine movie (not made, but idea)
This is just an idea I was toying around with, while talking to the park manager of the Batfish the other day. I know there was recently a movie made entitled "Below" which was a horror movie, it is pretty good, but back to the point, it was filmed onboard one of the museum Subs of the Gato class, I believe the Cobia but I could be wrong, but it was extremely accurate with a few well known actors, I said why cant they do that with a normal story. Anyways my idea was to make a new, accurate, WWII submarine movie which is filmed onboard a surviving submarine, I know it is pretty far fetched, but the park manager at the Batfish said that all of us Subsimmers could send a batch of emails to a movie company asking for this, like we did for patch 1.3 to UBI, and it might work, we could tell them we will sacrifice having Brad Pitt be the CO for an accurate movie detailing the American "Silent Service's" role in WWII because no high movie actors could save them money. The movie could be based off of one of the really good book about the subs, such as "Wake of the Wahoo", "Clear the Bridge", "Batfish". Any good book would do as long as it details the trials and tribulations of an American Fleet Submarine. What im talking about is the Das Boot for American submarines.
Guys I know it is far fetched, so I also have a less far fetched idea, and that is a group email to the history channel, military channel, discovery channel, etc, asking them to do a show on American subs in the Pacific, since not too many people know about it. I think that would probably be the most realistic idea.
Please do not criticize these ideas, Im just trying to get our Silent Service members the respect and attention they deserve.
