The movie, "Hunter Killer," has been in the works for at least five years with the project once pre-approved for an Alaska film subsidy in 2012. Producers for the film said the project is now a reality, with about 90 percent filming to take place in the Alaska town of 229 people.

The thriller is based on the George Wallace novel "Firing Point," about a U.S. nuclear submarine that faces a Russian sub. The producers said they chose Whittier because the town resembles a Russian naval base.

Three months of pre-production will begin in January, followed by three months of filming, producers said. The effort will include building submarine sets.

Hollywood trade publications, including Variety, have reported since 2011 that Butler is attached to star. Asked to confirm he will appear in the film, executive producers Jamie Marshall and Scott Lumpkin said they could not say.

The Anchorage Daily News reported in 2012 that the project would cost $50 million to $100 million, according to a producer. It was not immediately clear if that spending plan has changed since the project was initially planned for Alaska.

If the budget remains above $50 million, "Hunter Killer" would be the most expensive modern movie to film in Alaska, eclipsing "Everybody Loves Whales" and "Frozen Ground."

After a slew of subsidized reality shows, the announcement marks the first time a high-profile feature has been planned for Alaska under the subsidy program since the Nicolas Cage thriller "Frozen Ground."

Anchorage-based production company Sprocketheads will be involved in the project, said Kelly Bender of the Whittier Chamber of Commerce.

Billy Bob Thornton and Common will star opposite Gerard Butler in Relativity’s action-thriller “Hunter Killer” with shooting starting in mid-July in New Orleans.

Set beneath the polar ice cap, the story centers on a renegade Russian military leader who pushes the U.S. to the brink of a nuclear confrontation. Cut off from all outside communication, a submarine commander and an elite Navy special forces unit are all that stand between the Russian assault and all-out war.

Martin Campbell (“Green Lantern”) will direct “Hunter Killer” from Peter Craig’s script, which is based on the novel “Firing Point” by George Wallace and Don Keith.

The film is being produced by Original Films’ Neal Moritz and Toby Jaffe, and Relativity CEO Ryan Kavanaugh. Relativity president Tucker Tooley will executive produce.

Thornton appeared most recently in “The Judge” and in FX’s “Fargo” miniseries. He’s currently filming David Gordon Green’s “Our Brand Is Crisis.” He is represented by WME and Media Talent Group.

The casting of Common comes on the heels of his and John Legend’s Academy Award win for their original song “Glory” from the film “Selma.” Common also portrayed civil rights leader James Bevel in that film. Common is represented by CAA and Oasis Entertainment Management.

dopo Billy Bob Norton,Willem Dafoe...sempre più interessante! questo sarà un buon film,secondo me!

..Pare che il progetto - come il sottomarino- stia riemergendo dall'abisso... e che Gary Oldman si sia unito al cast!

Emerging from the inky blackness of development hell, submarine thriller Hunter Killer appears to be back on track over at Millennium Films, with Gary Oldman joining the cast in a key role.
Word comes by way of Screen Daily, revealing that the Oscar-nominated actor will star opposite fellow Briton Gerard Butler in the studio’s long-gestating feature, which is set to be offered to buyers at next week’s Berlin Film Festival. Adapted from George Wallace and Don Keith’s acclaimed novel Firing Point, Hunter Killer centers on a rogue Russian general who, upon kidnapping the country’s president, looks to spark a global conflict on the scale of the Cold War.
Despite developing a tendency of portraying Russians on screen (see Air Force One and Child 44), Oldman has boarded the thriller to oversee the efforts of a Navy SEAL unit – Gerard Butler’s Joe Glass included – to scupper those aforementioned terrorist plans. Behind the lens, Neil Moritz will produce with his partner Toby Jaffe, but Hunter Killer is still closing in on a director to take the reins. During its time spent languishing in development Philip Noyce, Martin Campbell and even McG have all cropped up as blips on the proverbial radar, though nothing is official at the time of writing.
Despite recent financial woes, Relativity remains attached to distribute Hunter Killer domestically in the States, though that is subject to change depending on the company’s bankruptcy. Shooting on the maritime thriller has been penciled in for July, meaning that that search for a director will surely intensify over the coming weeks
