    Here's the story from Wired magazine that this project is based on. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/16-03/ff_seacowboys?currentPage=all
    It will be interesting to see how they spin this. It does have all the ingredients to make an action film; high stakes, quirky characters, even the tragic death of one of the crewman.

    Is this the sequel to Space Cowboys? lol

    This has a pretty good round-up of filmmakers. I'm interested to see more, now.
