The trailer is lengthy at three and a half minutes, telling the story of “the worst naval disaster in American history.”

The film is scheduled to be viewed in its entirety later this month at the 2016 Marché du Film at the Cannes Film Festival in France, where it’s expected to be picked up by a distributor. The studio is aiming for a July or August release on the big screen, however, nothing is certain until distribution plans are finalized.

“It’s epic. It’s totally different than other World War II movies,” said Wolfe. “But most of all, it pays tribute to the men of the USS Indianapolis. We think they’ll be very proud of this movie.”

 “USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage” tells the story of the World War II Navy cruiser that was sunk by a torpedo from a Japanese submarine shortly after delivering the first parts of what would become the atomic bomb. Hundreds of sailors were stranded at sea for four days, many of them dying to dehydration or shark attacks.

The USS Alabama at Battleship Memorial Park was used at a stand-in for the USS Indianapolis.  The ship was among the biggest reasons the studio decided to shoot in Mobile, Alabama.

Similarly, the USS Drum, a submarine, was used to depict the Japanese submarine that torpedoed the Indianapolis. In Baldwin County, scenes showing the stranded sailors were shot in open water off our local beaches. You might remember a vintage PBY Catalina being used for those scenes began taking on water and had to be beached. It became a casualty as salvage efforts failed and the plane broke apart.
