The battlecruiser concept involves putting the large guns of a battleship on a vessel the size and speed of a cruiser. The idea was that a battlecruiser could outgun any other ship its size and outrun the more heavily armored battleships. This concept was put to a dramatic test during World War I in what would become known as the battle of Jutland. The ensuing conflict was the largest surface naval battle ever fought between battleships and battlecruisers and yet, a movie has not been made about this cataclysmic event that cost the lives of thousands and shaped the course of the First World War. Now that movie exists in illustrated screenplay format. Battlecruiser is the story of an extraordinary historical event that deserves its place in film history. Perhaps, you can help make that happen? Spread the word.
