Explaining, the director said, “Submarines are one of the most amazingly cinematic environments. I just love the language of them. The culture on a submarine is a very specific world with very specific jargon, and even when you can't understand a word the people on them are saying [in movies], it's very, very gripping and involving. Take Crimson Tide. I don't know what ‘zero degrees down bubble’ means but it sounds really cool.”
