'Crimson Tide' sequel underway; Denzel Washington may return

A follow-up to the 1995 submarine thriller Crimson Tide is in the works.
The original film, starring Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, was a big hit.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is back, and this time, Navy experts are helping out to keep things real.

TL;DR

Washington's return as Lt Cmdr. Tom Hunter uncertain

Washington could reprise his iconic role—but only if the script meets his standards.
With Bruckheimer on board and a focus on authenticity, fans of action thrillers have something to look forward to.
This sequel hopes to honor the original's legacy even without director Tony Scott or Gene Hackman returning.
