Kidman,
This is Dead Calm (great film by brilliant director Phillip
Noyce) and has an interesting story: there was - and actually
is - an almost complete version of a film by Orson Welles
based on that book (with Welles, Jeanne Moreau, Oja Kodar),
which in the parts I know looks very promising. Sean Connery
- whom Welles asked to play the lead role in his film -
refused, but then, after Welles' death, wanted to option it.
Oja Kodar, Welles' partner since the early 70ies, now refused
and sold the rights to the Australians
(for much less money, she says).
