"Phantom" Submarine movie

Looks interesting. What sub is that? (If its an actual submarine and not fictional.)
Also, i might have missed something but are they playing as Russians? And what era is this taking place in... Cold war?

The sub in the trailer was a Foxtrot but based on the trailer I'm guessing this is meant to be the story of the Golf class K-129.

Looking forward to this, Ed Harris is a great actor. Loved him in Apollo 13 and Enemy at the Gates.

four words that will make any movie infinitely more interesting...

"Based on true events"

looks neat though, will probably check it out!

Looks quite interesting...on the want to see list.

I was all ready to complain about American movies with American actors portraying other etc and why can't they blah blah blah...

Then I read TLAM's link and the story of the CIA and covert ops in the Cold War, and I have to agree - this looks pretty cool!

[edit] And I just read McBee's original link, and I'm back to saying why can't they use actors from the correct country? It worked in The Longest Day and Tora! Tora! Tora!, and it worked for Eastwood in Letters From Iwo Jima. Well, we'll see.

[edit 2] I just watched the trailer, and it doesn't say "Based on true events", it says "Inspired by true events", which invariably makes me cringe. Now that I've seent the trailer I'm starting to look forward to avoiding this.

Well, I will be willing to give it a look when it comes to Blue Ray

It's blu-ray ... I know cause I just got one ... well it'll be here tomorrow at least.

Ed Harris ... I like him too.

Someone do a review: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000438/bio

I thought he would make a great Carrol Shelby telling his story in hindsight that is. Just noticed he is only 62 ... still young/not too old

Think you're right. That was the boat that the Glomar Explore tried to recover.

I believe it's a Foxtrot. I read something about the interiors were shot at Foxtrot museum sub in San Diego...
