This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

<HTML>I have read all the conversation about re-making a historically-exact epic which has become something of a classic, but I would much prefer Harrison Ford as the Old Man - Mel Gibson simply doesn\'t have the ponderous deliberation that Harrison can exhibit in movies such as \"Presumed Innocent\". Still, it would be a pity to throw such a lovely property to the wolves of Hollywood merely for the purpose of making a fast buck. Buchheim has written a lot more about U-Boats and the Old Man in his new novel \"Die Festung\", A sequel would be just fine for me.
