The Freediver Movie??

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
Could the protagonist wear cowboy boots, and the French guy wear flip-flops?
 
At the bottom

Our hero meets an heretofore unidentified cephalopod that communicates with him telepathically .... in French

His fluid filled lungs will not allow the tormented scream...


<Camera zooms out from his tortured face - the blue vastness seems to echo with his unexpressable rage and frustration - we come to the safety divers - first one, then a second - the third is looking up - in his mask we see reflected a small circular object fluttering down - the camera turns from the divers face - the object grows near and flutters past into the depths... a diaphragm.>

Sorry, that's also what I meant. The great outside attraction, of people who knows little about freediving, is the danger aspect. And this will naturally find its way into freediving movie stories with freediving, in Big Blue and Freediver too, for what I've read.

Alternative ending jag

For Eric's movie. (steven spielberg meets stephen king)

Our hero descends into the depths - through blackness and - in an obvious rip-off from the abyss - into a strange glow - illuminated by the glow - at improbable distances - are awe inspiring relics of an atlantian golden age - below he sees the source of the now clearly golden light - a mysterious orb - as he approaches waves of bliss move through him - he feels as though deeply in love (see 'Finding Nemo')- a huge anglerfish with freakishly oversized (see 'Mars Attacks') frontal lobes lurches up out of the bottom and unceremoniously hoovers our type-A aquanaut in a single gulp.

Aboard ship the lovely french woman stares down into the ocean where her intrepid lover last met her gaze. She extends her arm, fist clenched, palm up, toward the spot and, raising the middle finger says, in her thick french accent; "have a nice day".
A hand appears on her shoulder - it is her husband - not dead after all. She smiles and turns to him as the boat gets under way.

epilogue <it was 55 years ago to the day that the famed French Sea explorer and scuba pionear - Jacques Cousteau - first negotiated with the beast. To save his crew and other hapless mariners from it's fearsome jaws a deal was struck and, after haunting the seas since before the dawn of man, the leviathan finally ceased stalking the seaways. From that day a secret French marine society has been charged with satiating the monster. But in return, every eleventh year, on the eleventh day - at the elevent hour - it must have it's prey>
 
Ocean Men

Does anyone know if OceanMen is actually still screening at any IMAX theatres in Europe at the moment or how I can see the movie/doc?

Sounds like an interesting flick!!!

Cheers.......
