“..sounds like you’re planning a thoughtful, accurate and exciting film. Can’t wait!”
Thank you TT. I’m an aviation enthusiast myself (as I mentioned in the other forum) and I’m writing this from that perspective, although this group is far more knowledgeable than I. When I write aircraft and/or dogfight sequences, it’s for us. That said, Tuck was a human being. I’m endeavoring to convey that as well, and it’s largely Tuck’s family I have in mind for those scenes. The challenge will be to strike a balance.
“I presume it’s a bit early for any idea of a timescale for release”
Yes it is. There are many variables here. Good news is, there is tons of interest in the project, and many important “entities” have come forward to offer involvement. Mostly they’re just waiting for me to complete my script, but a finished film is by no means a certainty. Some of you may have heard that Peter Jackson’s “Dambusters” has run into trouble, and George Lucas’s “Red Tails” production has gone past it’s scheduled date of completion. Movie projects are fickle and unpredictable.

Edited to add: The process of my obtaining the option to the book is a remarkable story. My wife and I often marvel at how fate seemed to have a hand in getting this rolling. In truth, it never should have gotten this far. It was almost as though Tuck was extending his “luck” from the grave to get his story told. That gives me hope for the project, and eventually I’ll relate the story here.
