Legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer was on The Rich Eisen Show this week and casually dropped a bombshell: a “Crimson Tide” sequel is quietly in the works. Yes, that “Crimson Tide.” One of the best studio thrillers of the 1990s, and arguably one of the finest submarine movies ever made, may finally be surfacing for a second dive.

Bruckheimer confirmed that a writer-director is currently developing the project and actively working with the U.S. Navy to ensure authenticity. “We have a very good director-writer talking to the Navy right now about what’s going on in the water,” he told Eisen. “We have Denzel. If we give him a good script, I think he’d do it.”

Damn. Does Denzel become Gene Hackman?

Wonder who that writer-director will be?

If I had to guess, based on recent film trends, probably Christopher McQuarrie writing and directing (he helped write Top Gun: Maverick and he’s a big fan of Tony Scott and has studied his work) or Joseph Kosinski directing (directed Top Gun: Maverick and just recently directed F1, which is kind of a spiritual successor to Days of Thunder, and all of those films were produced by Jerry Bruckheimer) and Christopher McQuarrie writing.

Let QT have a pass at the script.
