In Media
A major motion picture by 20th Century Fox, based on the book and directed and produced by Peter Weir, is scheduled for release in 2013.
In 2000 a PBS NOVA show called Hitler's Lost Sub was aired which followed Chatterton and Kohler in their quest to identify the sub.
Another book challenges some of the facts about the sinking of the U-869 called Shadow Divers Exposed: the Real Saga of the U-869 (2006), self-published by Gary Gentile. Gentile, a noted wreck diver, researcher, and author, sharply refutes Chatterton and Kohler's theory of how U-869 sank. He cites attack logs and eyewitness accounts from the crew of two destroyer escorts suggesting that the U-boat was initially damaged with a hedgehog launched by the USS Howard D. Crow (DE-252) and then subsequently damaged with a depth charge by the accompanying USS Koiner (DE-331). Gentile also contradicts the events on deck after the Rouse's (father and son) fatal dive.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“The media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
