"Das Boot" -> Remake?
NZSnowman:
I am in the mind to say "go for it".
If they can make Das Boot better, that will be great for us!
If the remake is awful… we still have the old version to watch :)
Capn Tucker:
Don't see how any cast could do even half as well as the originals. Something along the lines of Star Trek Remastered would be nice though, with state of the art special effects and still have the original cast..
Jan:
Hey. Don`t want to see a remake either. But what would be cool, was a tv-series of the Buchheims "Die Festung". Ist kind of a Sequel to "Das Boot". The story starts with U 96 returning from a journey and deals with Leutnant Werner/ Buchheim travelling through France and Germany in the days around d-day. Kind of like Band of Brothers meets Das Boot. The side-plot deals with the defending of the "fortress" Brest. One of the main characters in these terms is "der Alte", the commander of U 96 being promoted to Flotillenchef.
Jan:
...and there is also a long chapter of a boat with a snorkel trying to break trough the blocked harbour of Breast... ;)

@ Jan:
I suppose the Bavaria-Company has not the movie rights for Buchheims book "Die Festung". According to the newspaper articles it is an important cost factor to already own the rights for "Das Boot".
@ Snowman:
Viewed in this light it's a very pragmatic point of view.
