Anyone who has seen "Jaws" remembers the harrowing tale the hardened Quint tells of the fate of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, which went down in the Pacific in the waning days of World War II, leaving its men to fend for themselves during five days on the open sea while they were harried by countless sharks.
One such "Jaws" fan was Hunter Scott, who was 11 years old in 1996 when he decided to make the Indianapolis the subject of his National History Day project. It eventually led him to begin a campaign to clear the name of the Indianapolis' captain, Charles McVay, a journey which would take him to the halls of Congress.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros., along with Robert and Susan Downey, are partnering to tell Scott's story.
Robert Schenkkan ("The Pacific," "The Quiet American") is attached to write the screenplay.
