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"?

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

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.

I wouldn't have thought so, a month or two ago this very topic was brought up either here or on another forum I frequent (can't remember which) and the interview/article led one to believe it was about one man and his inner-self above the surface.

Heinie, maybe this time we wait for the American destroyer to actually leave the area before we turn back to course 140...

"Don't you ever ask yourself why we keep doing this, Heinie? It seems so mindless and futile... every day sitting at our keyboards like this..."

well the only issue with having Hanks play a DD skipper is that at 60, he is already older than almost all the WW2 senior admirals in WW2.
but this is hollywood, after all Brad Pitt did play a tank commander at 51.

Pitt did ok with that roll I think. I believe Hanks can pull it off. Movie magic after all. And a lot of makeup.
