If you thought Jaws was an adventurous shark tale, wait till you watch yet another movie in its league that promises some jaw-dropping experience to you. This one comes from director Chris Kentis of Open Water fame.
The movie titled Indianapolis will be based on Douglas Stanton’s book In Harm’s Way, that recounts the ghastly story of the USS Indianapolist, which was sunk by a Japanese submarine. However,since it had delivered parts of the Hiroshima Bomb that was a secret mission, most Navy brass had no idea it was missing.
As a result, the survivors of the sinking were lost at sea for five days. 317 of the 900 abandoned the ship but many out of them were killed by sharks. Kentis, a diver and WWII buff, said he learned of the Indianapolis tragedy when the story was told in the movie, "Jaws" in 1975.
