The Producers Of I, ROBOT And CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Board LIFEBOAT 13!!
Merrick here...
Like the headline says, Michel Shane and Anthony Romano (Executive Producers of I, ROBOT and CATCH ME IF YOU CAN) are developing
The script recounts hapenings after a ship is torpedoed during World War II. It involves...
...a rabbi, a Catholic priest and two Protestant ministers, as well as an African-American Coast Guardsman, who gave up their life jackets as the Dorchester sunk off the Greenland coast in 36-degree waters.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Variety.
The screenplay is authored by Michael Justiz and Steven Sikes.

I like the idea.
-
Because....haha....that opening is just dying for a punchline. Seriously, this sounds intriguing.
-
...but what's the punchline?
-
is the one I'd like to see though.
-
Since when do people care who is producing a moive, save for a couple of key producers? Or if a director is going to produce?
-
Doug Stanton's most excellent book 'In Harm's Way' (which I strongly recommend), an account of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis has been optioned and is scheduled to premiere next year.
-
lets hope Hollywood doesn't completely rewrite history like it normally does. "African-American Coast Guardsman" was he real? ( didnt mention anything about him in the vid
-
I distinctly remember that being in the script.
-
We just left with Merrick now? Ain't It Merrick News?
-
a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Lifeboat. Most people have probably never heard of it but it is a great movie.
-
fighting off thousands of iMac lookin' nazis with a cameo by shia lebouf?
man,if you hadn't mentioned i robot, i'd have respect for this producer.
producer doesn't mean anything though. just who funds something.
'from the rich guy who helped fund the super mario bros. movie and schindler's list'see how pointless that is? -
they are my favorite producers! i have all their movies! they are the bestest!
-
I'm halfway through that book and yes, it is excellent. Looking forward to hearing some news on the movie and hoping they can do the story justice.
-
screw the producers- lifeboat 13 will also reunite the key grip and catering from titanic! (*creams self!)
-
Ridiculous that it took that long for someone to mention LIFEBOAT and Hitchcock. Merrick, dig that one out of the vault -- and next time do your homework. =P
-
But first the Rabbi declares him Kosher.
-
thats the title..
-
Thank you, thank you. And remember to tip your waitress.
-
I watched Lifeboat a few months ago and thought it was ripe for the remake circuit. You could even modernize it and replace terrorists in place of the Nazi's.
-
I took a course from Michael Shane at UCLA while working on my Master's. Got an "A." It was interesting. Five years later; still waiting for that return call, Mikey.
-
for a thread on producers? your'e shittin' me!
-
...to do what Flight of the Conchords did better in 6 minutes with Petrov, Yeleyena & Me. "Oh yeah, look at that, no arm there... don't you hate it when that happens? You were very drunk last night... perhaps you lost it in a fair game of chance."
-
Oh what a PC love fest this will be! I'd rather see the movie where the black guy steals a life jacket, the Rabbi offers to sell one to a little kid, the priest tells the little kid he can have it free if he sits on his lap, the Southern baptist minister keeps several lifjackets because he said God personally told him to, and the rich WASP Republican minister uses his extra lifejacket for his dog and says "because really, who cares about a some poor black guy, a Jew, a Catholic and white trash rednecks?"
-
... Kurt Russell is clearing his calendar for this one.
-
"I thought you weren't coming back, so I ate all the baloney." Great ice breaker, try it on a chick you want to schmooze.
