Wolfgang Peterson's PERFECT STORM

Well it seems ol Wolfgang "DAS BOOT" Peterson is headed back out to sea again, this time with a movie called PERFECT STORM.

It's a gigantic over the century mark budgeted film about 6 commercial fisherman thet set off from Gloucester, Mass. to catch swordfish and run into the meanest friggin storm of the century you ever did see whilst on the hunt to catch a shipload of swordfish. The wind up stranded 200 miles offshore and have to fight to stay alive. The captain (Captain Billy Tyne played by George Clooney) and his crew which includes of Bobby Shatford (played by Mark Wahlberg), Murph (John C Reilly), Sully (William Fickner) and Alfred (Allen Payne). The main thing is this is supposed to be a true story, and the truth is... it didn't end all that happily. Although one never knows how this will take it. Who knows? Also there's gonna be a lot of worrying back at home including that of Diane Lane, who plays Christina Cotter... the wife (I believe) of the Mark Wahlberg character. Interesting casting there. There's a rescue mission and all, but really... What I can't wait to see is the storm and the what Peterson and screenwriter Bill Wittliff puts these guys through.

I'm a huge fan of Peterson's work, so if any of you folks out in Nova Scotia hear anything about this film shooting... or you people out in L.A. Let me know. I want to keep close tabs on this one.
