The original was made in 1968 by MGM and starred Ernest Borgnine, Patrick McGoohan, Jim Brown and Rock Hudson.
Adapted from the novel by Alistair MacLean, who also wrote the likes of 'Where Eagles Dare' and 'The Guns of Naverone', it centred the action around a race between the Russians and US to retrieve sensitive intelligence information jettisoned in the Arctic.
A taut tale of double-crosses and double agents, Hudson took the role of the captain of a US Navy submarine, McGoohan an MI6 agent and Borgnine a Russian defector.
McQuarrie is also being linked to the forthcoming fifth movie in the 'Mission: Impossible' series, and also recently helmed 'Jack Reacher' with Tom Cruise.
