^ Aye, doesn't look very promising.

That last 'trailer' is a montage of other upcoming shows, too. So I doubt it's satanic or whatever else was thrown in.

I'm not sure I like the idea of Das Boot following the exploits of some other party/person, seems like an attempt to appeal to a wider audience, should they bore of U-Boote, which seems to negate a chunk of what was put across in the original, experiencing life aboard a boat transiting large bodies of water, not jump-cutting to someone else ashore.

I think I'm going to be rather cynical about the remake.

--edit--

I saw only the trailer of Hunter Killer, I think that was more than enough to tell it was going to be very little about submarines or submariners, but instead some warped Hollywood fantasy.

But will hunter killer be worse or better than U571?

That's a pretty low bar.

As for the Boat series.

From the trailers, I am not impressed nor did they make me curious about the show.
