Duncan Jones returns from ‘Moon’ and heads into ‘The Deep’

Still the focus of some major buzz surrounding his science-fiction film ‘Moon’, director Duncan Jones has announced his second feature film directorial outing. Jones will helm the adaptation of the non-fiction book ‘Escape From the Deep’ for Brilliant Films. The book, written by Alex Kershaw, tells the amazing story of a legendary WWII submarine that sank as the result of a torpedo malfunction and the nine men who survived being stranded at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean by swimming back to the surface without suffering “the bends”. While this film appears to be quite different from ‘Moon’ on the surface, but there may be some similar underlying thematic elements at play here.
