Title: The
Perfect Storm
Plot:
The Perfect Storm is based on
Sebastian Junger's non-fiction book, "the Perfect Storm: A True
Story of Men against the Sea." The film will only cover part of
the book, concentrating on the Andrea Gail, a 70-foot sword fishing
boat. The storm in question occurred on November 4, 1991 off the
coast of Gloucester, Mass. The crew winds up stranded hundreds of
miles offshore and have to fight 100 foot waves and hurricane force
winds. The captain (Captain Billy Tyne played by George Clooney) and
his crew which includes of Bobby Shatford (played by Mark Wahlberg),
Dale "Murph" Murphy (John C Reilly), David
"Sully" Sullivan (William Fickner) and Alfred Pierre
(Allen Payne). Diane Lane, plays Christina Cotter, the love interest
of the Mark Wahlberg character, who has a premonition something
horrible would happen. In real life the Andrea Gail was lost at sea
along with the entire crew. It's unknown if the script will follow
that ending.

Just
wanted to send a quick note to compliment you on your site. Quite
interesting... I work for Industrial
Light + Magic, and we are working on the
film right now... the effects are looking absolutely incredible! I
am in the lucky position of
viewing dailies & watching the progression of the film,
and I have to say that the water effects are outstanding. Really
groundbreaking stuff. However, I don't
think that I like the trailer all that
much... how about you?
