He'll direct the narco sub thriller
Narco subs are apparently the new hot property. With one project about the illegal drugs smuggling craft already underway at Fox, the team at Matador Pictures is shoving their own version, called Hyperbaric, into the choppy cinematic waters, and have hired Roger Spottiswoode to direct it.
Dominic Morgan and Matt Harvey wrote the original spec for the film, which follows four strangers harbouring their own secrets who must cooperate to pilot a crudely fashioned Narco submarine. It’s carrying a fortune in cocaine, and the Coast Guard is tracking it down…
Spottiswoode is pushing Midnight Sun, in which a young boy attempts to reunite an abandoned polar bear cub with its mother in Canada, through the post-production process now, but he’s been better known for the likes of Tomorrow Never Dies and Air America.
Hyperbaric will be competing with Fox’s Narco Sub, which recently snared Antoine Fuqua to direct. We’ll have to wait and see which one surfaces from development first…
