Just came over on Deadline.com:

EXCLUSIVE: 20th Century Fox has attached Martin Campbell to direct and J. Michael Straczynski (Changeling) to write The Dive, the true, tragic love story of freediver Francisco “Pipin” Ferraras and his wife Audrey Mestre.

This fits in nicely with what Pat Tallman mentioned in her recent podcast about going and observing freedivers.

Nice, after seeing 1988 film "The Big Blue", Jean Reno, Rosanna Arquette, Jean-Marc Barr - can't wait to see JMS take on this sport.

Having read up on the real-life events this is based on, I wonder how JMS will deal with the material. There's a lot of potential for controversy.
