Deciding which film to make – hoping it will become a hit isn’t an exact science. Some big movies with big budgets and big stars do flop, and on a regular basis. And yes some very low budget films that feature talented, yet unheard of actors do make a killing at the box office.
For many years I thought that Operation Jericho would make an excellent film – shot entirely on green screen and CGI – very similar in style to Sin City.
Oh, the three connections between Richard Attenborough and RAF Bomber Command?
1. He starred in “A Matter of Life and Death” as a deceased RAF flyer. His only line in the film was: “It’s heaven, isn’t it?”
2. He also starred in “journey Together” as David Wilton, a trainee pilot, who has poor height perception and cannot master his landings. Therefore he is sent to navigator’s school. The film was produced by the RAF FILM UNIT, and featured mostly RAF personnel.
3. Accordingly, Richard Attendborough was in the film because previously he had joined the RAF as an Air Gunner, then did a film camera operators course. He flew on several missions over occupied Europe.
