Towards the end of last year I heard that a movie was being made based on a a RN carrier. The film was based on a novel in which a rogue RN captain decides to foil a coup in an African state.
Any idea if this film is going ahead and if so what the name and release date is?

Yes, and the film company only had £19 in the bank :diablo: 😀

It probably fell through when the RN offered to sell them the carrier for £20…

It was supposed to have been filmed in ILLUSTRIOUS however it all fell through at the last minute……

Can’t recall seeing any real jet A-G being depicted in any movie other than the Philippine F-5s dropping napalm in Apocalypse Now. I guess it’s too much to ask in this day and age that we’d get some footage of Harriers dropping real ordnance.
I think it was a Mel Gibson project.
Well that would ruin it. I checked his profile IMDB though, they’re usually well informed and none of the announced movies had anything to do with a carrier. Fingers crossed.
coup in an African state
Anyone read Frederick Forsyth’s Dogs of War? No heroes, just a little war funded by a British company with interests in the rich diamond mines in the small country.
