Narco-subs are real-world drug-running submersible vehicles that are used to transport narcotics (particularly from Colombia to Mexico). Because of their compact size, the subs are able to elude radar. Hyperbaric, which began as a spec script by Matt Harvey and Dominic Morgan, is said to focus on a crew of four strangers aboard a sub that is being chased by the US Coast Guard. Rick Benattar and Nigel Thomas are set to produce. Fuqua is no stranger to similarly-themed cinematic showdowns. Last year, he directed Olympus Has Fallen, which managed to beat Roland Emmerich’s White House Down at the domestic box office. (Photo Credit: Apega / WENN) Show Comments |
