We have a really good director and writer talking to the navy right now about what’s going on under the water,' original producer Jerry Bruckheimer teased

A sequel to Denzel Washington's $157M action thriller is now in development, with high hopes that the Oscar winner will reprise his lead role.

If he does board the project, Washington will need a new on-screen adversary. Hackman died in February at the age of 95. Tony Scott, the original director of “Crimson Tide,” and Robert Towne, one of its writers, have also died.
