Unlike Cage and Ford, Gibson simply wanted too much money ($25 million). Gibson’s The Patriot ended up opening on the same weekend as The Perfect Storm and came in second.
Director Wolfgang Petersen convinced Clooney that he was the perfect ageto play the 37-year-old captain Billy Tyne.
Wahlberg spent a lot of time and effort getting rid of his local accent, and called it “a real turnoff” that he would have to resurrect his old speaking habits. Clooney flat out refused, saying audiences would focus on his accent rather than pay attention to the movie.
They were upset that the names of their family members weren’t changed, but some facts from the 1991 incident were.

John Hawkes (Bugsy), Wahlberg, and Diane Lane (Christina) all claimed that his jokes were funny and lightened upthe sometimes grueling shooting, but none got into specifics.
The accomplished film composer also worked on and won an Oscar for that other ship disaster movie, Titanic. Tragically, he recently died in a plane crash.
