Sub-marine movie?? In the new interview from the Hugo Boss event in London -Q & A
What’s your agenda like for the rest of the year?
Lots of movies, a sub-marine movie. And London Has Fallen. And a film in November with Dean Devlin, exciting stuff!

Gerard Butler to Star in HUNTER KILLER; Sam Worthington Being Eyed to Co-StarRead more at collider.com/gerard-butler-sam-worthington-hunter-killer/#Q6TuJAwVJBTdML8Z.99 collider.com/gerard-butler-sam-worthington-hunter-killer/
Gerard Butler has signed on to lead Antoine Fuqua’s submarine thriller Hunter Killer. Per Variety, “the story follows an untested submarine captain who must work with a Navy SEAL team to rescue Russia’s president, who’s taken prisoner during a military coup. The two sides team to stop a rogue Russian general from igniting World War III.” Russia really needs to sort out their whole rogue military officer problem. Butler would play the submarine captain, and Sam Worthington is circling the role of Bill Beaman, leader of the Navy SEAL team. I don’t have much faith Fuqua, but Butler really impressed me with his performance in Machine Gun Preacher and I’m always excited to see a new submarine movie.
Butler has been keeping busy as of late. He recently wrapped on the soccer comedy Playing the Field, he’s about to start shooting on Curtis Hanson’s surfing drama Of Men & Mavericks, and he’ll next be seen in Ralph Fiennes modern-day adaptation of Coriolanus and the Peter Farrelly and Charles B. Wessler comedy omnibus. Relativity is aiming for a winter start date for Hunter Killer and plans to release the film on December 21, 2012

Film was originally set up for Antoine Fuqua to direct and Gerard Butler to star

Having already worked together on “3 Days to Kill,” Relativity and McG appear ready to reunite as he is in negotiations to helm the long-in-development “Hunter Killer” for the studio.
Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe are producing from a script by Jamie Moss, John Kolvenbach and Arne Schmidt. Tucker Tooley is exec producing.
Relativity had no comment.
Based on the novel “Firing Point” by Don Keith and George Wallace, the story follows an untested submarine captain who must work with a Navy SEAL team to rescue Russia’s president, taken prisoner during a military coup. The two sides team to stop a rogue Russian general from igniting World War III.
The pic was originally planned for Antoine Fuqua to direct and Gerard Butler to star, but that teaming never materialized as they went on to do “Olympus Has Fallen” instead. That put “Hunter Killer” on the shelf.
Given how happy the studio was with McG on the Kevin Costner pic “3 Days to Kill,” though, it made sense to turn to him on a project they have long wanted to get off the ground.
