Over the past few years, submarine war thrillers have come a long way towards establishing their domain as a legitimate class of movies providing thrill and enough suspense to keep one on the edge of their seats. And by the looks of it, Gerard Butler has found his calling as a star of one too. All about Russia-America relations, his upcoming submarine-war movie, 'Hunter Killer', based on Don Keith and George Wallace’s 2012 novel 'Firing Point', will tell the story of a submarine commander who's embarked on the mission to save the president of Russia. What's better? The all-star cast surrounding Butler in the film will include Gary Oldman, Common, Toby Stephens, Michael Nyqvist, Caroline Goodall and Michael Trucco.

Check out the first trailer that has been dropped. It promises some major submarine war thriller vibes, that movies like 'U-571', 'Crimson Tide', 'The Hunt for Red October', 'K-19: The Widowmaker' and many more have given off in the past.
