The article mentions that the director made a previous science fiction film, The Tunnel. But i don't think he did - that was made by someone else, and it's about the construction of a trans-Atlantic tunnel which ends in disaster [1]. He did make F. P. 1, about the construction of a mid-Atlantic airport island which ends in disaster [2]. I note that The Tunnel was re-made in English (or re-adapted from the source novel) the next year [3].
Seems there was a good market for films about disasters under the Atlantic (or North Sea, at a pinch).
