Curiozități

Ghostboat is a 2006 British television film, based on a novel by George E. Simpson and Neal R. Burger. The film features David Jason as its star. It is a fantasy tale of His Majesty's Submarine Scorpion vanishing during the Second World War, leaving only one crew member surviving. 38 years later, in the Cold War year 1981, the Scorpion reappears; the crew have disappeared, but the vessel is otherwise unchanged and has not aged in the intervening years. A Royal Navy crew along with the sole survivor of the original voyage is given the mission of retracing the last days of the boat prior to her 1943 disappearance.

Production

The film was announced in August 2005. David Jason was enthralled by the book Ghostboat and adapting it was a long-held wish of his. The drama aired as two 90-minute episodes. It was one of the most expensive dramas ever made by ITV. The submarine used in filming is the non-diving replica, built in Malta as the 'modified' S-33 for the film U-571, also shot in Malta.
