Forester.

This is a war story set at sea. It will be made into the movie Greyhound starring Tom Hanks.

There are two movies with that title: the first about a priest who faces a crisis of conscience, the later (and better per the IMDB’s ratings) a dramatized history of the CIA.

I’m fond of Ira Levin’s novel This Perfect Day. There’s a movie with that title under development, but I have no idea if it’s based on Levin’s novel. I hope it is, because it would make a great movie.
