U484, the Russian sub nobody wants, will star in a new Harrison Ford movie, according to St. Petersburg, FL port officials. We've followed the old Juliet Class Guided Missile Submarine's antics since 1998, when a now bankrupt company towed it to Florida with hopes of turning it into a tourist attraction. The tow cable broke, the sub crashed into something, the company went broke... and so on. The sub has been rusting and taking up valuable harbor space ever since, so St. Pete officials are happy about the movie plans. The 300- ft. long sub will be towed to Nova Scotia or Iceland for the Harrison Ford thriller "K-19: The Widowmaker." Then back to St. Pete? Not a chance...
