Murder On The High Seas

A balmy Carribbean shoot may be just what the doctor ordered after the gruelling mortar fire of Black Hawk Down. And, luckily, that's exactly what's on the cards as Ewan McGregor makes plans to join Heath Ledger in ocean-bound thriller Nautica. McGregor and the Knight's Tale star have begun negotiations for two of three main roles in the film, set on a yacht en-route to the Bahamas. Directed by Ted Demme (Blow), the film tells of a murder, the events surrounding which are subsequently re-told three times, from the different perspectives of each of the passengers on board. Nautica has been described as a throwback to such thrillers as Body Heat and Dead Calm. Shooting will begin next year.
