Tom Hanks' new convoy war movie: Greyhound
https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war...e=facebook.com
A naval war movie for a change, set aboard a destroyer... perhaps an updating of "The Cruel Sea"?

It will be great to see this movie when it opens. Tom Hanks is an excellent actor who can play anything .

Will be interesting to see if the ship depicted will be a US Navy destroyer or the real-life HMS Greyhound.

Jim, this is a US made movie, so no RN.  Royal Navy in WW2? lolzI'll continue my rant. Bonus if: Hanks sinks the U-Boat with his pistol. Save by the Army Air Corps at the last second. They show Pearl Harbo(u)r attack....as that is the offical starting moment of WW2. Produced by Kathleen Kennedy, forcing 21st Century morals in 20th century. Will there be enough SJWs? ew, gross, the crew is too white. Lesbian, vegan love scenes? Did I miss anything? update, no Kathleen Kennedy, so no mish-mash of Das Boot (tv series) meets Star Wars with emo-Vader. emo-nazi vader?

If I were a millionaire, I'd love to make a naval movie the old school way, with the miniature models and giant pool (See Toho). I hate the over use of CGI. How about a movie about Jutland? The Tang's final patrol?

Howzabout The Caine Mutiny? Plenty of inner demons, seafaring and court room drama

ditto. I wish they would do October Fury as a movie, about the Cuban Missile Crisis.

 Or, as I sometimes call it, The Revenge Of The Character Actors.  Sure, William Devane had to learn to talk like JFK and he deserved top billing, but (a young) Martin Sheen delivers as Bobby and that guy, what's his name?, he always played the high school principal.., well, you get the idea.  While shot for TV in a TV studio (I think it was Lorimar?) on a TV budget, Missiles still holds up. Khrushchev comes off as almost campy in the Three Minute Egg scene and this is the closest I've seen to the REAL Gen. LeMay. (To paraphrase-) "Mr. President, just give the order and SAC will reply in full.." "Against Cuber? Wouldn't that be over kill?" "Nooo.. Not against Cuba.."  So, great performances across the board AND done on a fairly low budget.

I would like to see a nice movie about Karl Muller and the Emden.
The problem is that if they made it true to life, no one would believe it.
