  1. There's always something interesting you can learn from your blog.
    The Deep - it must be based on Arnaldur Indridason's book! I love the book! Can't wait to see the movie!

  2. I don't know that Indriðason has a book called Djúpið or The Deep. But IMDb.com shows the only other writing credit as Jón Atli Jónasson, and says the film is "Based on actual events, a fisherman tries to survive in the freezing ocean after his boat capsizes off the south coast of Iceland."
