My own opinion is that a new film of the Dam buster’s story should not be made; let the original stand as a testament to the bravery of the aircrew involved!
Here you got a great chance of introducing and telling the story of the brave men of 617 Squadron to a whole new generation of audience. Sorry, make that around 3 generations of audience. And you don’t like it?
The original, as good as it may be, does not do the work in 2008. If we’re gonna carry these stories for another 50 years or so, they need to be re-done and introduced again. It doesn’t work throwing a black and white movie from the 50’s to youngsters and think they’ll show interest.
Peter Jackson is doing the only right thing and thank *insert worshipping figure here* that there are people around who can make movies and have this interest. Maybe one 12 year old will see the new Dambuster movie, go read the books and make another epic and important WW2 movie 40 years later down the road? Ever thought about that? 😉
make a movie about the Operation Cerberus ‘The Channel Dash’. The story has everything, but most of all it is the story of 18 swordfish crew who in my humble opinion where the bravest of the brave!
Couldn’t agree more.
