Ed Harris & David Duchovny, both of them in a Cold War submarine thriller called Phantom? The cast in this, beyond Harris and Duchovny, also includes some other fantastic actors: William Fitchtner,Sean Patrick Flanery, Johnathon Schaech and Lance Henriksen.
Harris plays the captain of a Cold War Soviet missile submarine who has secretly been suffering from seizures that alter his perception of reality. There’s some odd supernatural-y twists, but otherwise this just looks like another solid submarine thriller.
The Captain of a Soviet submarine holds the fate of the world in his hands. On a seemingly haunted vessel, with a rogue element on board, Captain Demi (Ed Harris) is forced to face his past in order to find redemption in the present. But, in the depths of the South Pacific, man and machine are not alone.
Phantom was both written & directed by up-and-coming filmmaker Todd Robinson, of a few docs previously like Wild Bill: Hollywood Maverick and Amargosa, as well as the crime film Lonely Heartspreviously. RCR Distribution is releasing Phantom in theaters on March 1st, 2013
