I wonder how in the trailer the u-boat is able to communicate over the destroyers intercom “good luck surviving the night...

True true
I'm really not impressed TBH. Call me a party pooper but it looks like the screenwriters are just following a cookie cutter formula for a slow-burn action drama. Based on the trailer I can make a few assumptions as to how the plot will go down.

Commander Krause (Tom Hanks) has some experience as a Naval officer but he's not used to managing an entire convoy of merchants. One of the uboats lures him away from the convoy. He scores a kill but while that's happening, the rest of the wolfpack begins attacking the unprotected merchants.

Morale of the Greyhound crew is low and CDR Krause is shaken by the loss of several cargo ships but he is not deterred. Our hero gets his cliche 'second wind' and rolls up his sleeves because now he's learned from his mistakes and is 'growing' as a character.

To emphasize this they'll probably have a scene of Krause poring over a chart table and tapping at an area with his finger to emphasize his resolve and to show he's regaining his confidence and calling on past expertise as an officer.

Now Krause has a plan. He gathers his officers together and tells them something like "They'll have to surface at some point, and when they do, we'll rain hell down on them from above"

Krause is now the predator and the uboats are his prey.

Initially it seemed like everything was going in the uboats favor but now it is (yawn) Commander Krause who is one step ahead of the uboats. And at some point Krause will comment that the Uboats are getting desperate because they know they have a limited amount of time left before the convoy gets within range of air support from the RAF.

The uboats attacks will get more and more desperate as the convoy gets closer to British-controlled air space. Some more fighting, some more uboats get sunk. Krause loses a few escort ships and some more merchants. And then for whatever reason, instead of the "Wolf" leaving when he should, he stays. Now more focused on sinking the Greyhound than sinking more merchants. And this gets him and his Uboat destroyed in a big dramatic pay off between the Greyhound and the "Wolf".

What really gets me is that I can tell they won't show the faces of the uboat crews. The writers want the uboats to feel like they are living creatures to the audience with their own character. As if they really are 'wolves' and the merchants are the 'sheep'. I'm willing to bet we will see very little of the merchant marine sailors to further emphasize this shepherd & sheep dynamic. The Greyhound and her crew will be the sole focus for the entire movie while at sea.

The uboat with the wolf emblem is clearly the 'leader' of the wolfpack even though that's not how wolfpacks operated, historically. They didn't have leaders, they maintained radio silence just before the attack and operated independently of each other. A joint-attack, certainly, but the only thing they had in common was that they were all attacking at roughly the same time.

But the movie will depict the uboats coordinating their attacks together like a pack of wolves, with the wolf-emblem uboat as the 'pack leader'

This 'character' will become Krause's nemesis throughout the movie and will probably end in a dramatic climax with the Greyhound ramming the 'Wolf' uboat and cutting her in half with her prow which is intended to be a moment of great catharsis for the audience.

But the writers painted themselves into a corner because of this big dramatic payoff they want so badly at the end of the film. Which is why we hear the voice of the 'Wolf' over the Greyhound's intercom talking in a weird Dracula voice as he says
"Good luck surviving the night".

They need to build up the tension between these two characters before the final climax in order for the emotional payoff of killing the 'Wolf' to work. Even though it makes no sense and leads to really cringey scenes like the "Good luck" line as if this were another Liam Neeson action movie.

Mark my words, this movie will end in the Greyhound cutting the 'Wolf' in half after ramming her in the big dramatic climax of the battle.

Hmm how did you get a copy of the script? 👏
Sounds plausible to me.
There's not a lot of WW2 submarine movies, I'm glad we're getting another one.
