Featuring the above-the-title star power of Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman, Crimson Tide was a big hit with both critics and audiences when it was released in 1995, and Bruckheimer is making moves to develop a 30-years-later sequel.

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.

Director Jerry Bruckheimer revealed a sequel for “Crimson Tide” is in the works — and that Denzel Washington could return to his role from the original movie from 1995!
