    Those dreadful special effects in the original Dambusters won an Academy award for best Visual effects, I think that todays best CGI will seem rubbish in ten, twenty years time when it will be possible to recreate any actor from the past and interact with actors on screen without it looking like “Who Killed Roger Rabbit” the only thing will be how they pay the voiceover guys, as for the remake I hope they just re-master it in Colour and get rid of the flying scenes and CGI new ones.

    So Bruggen do you think it is cheaper to pay VoiceOver artists and CGI artists to recreate long since dead actors performances than pay a new actor? Trust me it is not cheaper. Also do you think it is free to recreate an actors performance. A fee would be paid to the estate of the late actor. A bonkers idea of the future.

    And why do you need to colourise the film? It’s been enjoyed for years. People don’t mind the lack of colour.

    Plus you do realise that Roger Rabbit isn’t meant to look convincing don’t you? Rabbits don’t actually talk or wear clothes 😉

    Fascinating stuff, many thanks.

    Perhaps they cannot figure out what to rename the dog?

    I think with their collective IQs and the many larger problems a film crew face that they will overcome that hot potato. I do however think that many others won’t overcome through lack of imagination/open mindedness/empathy.

    The express article is poor even by their standards.

    Love the first comment on the article 😉

    “There was a rumour that Steven Fry was going to write it.

    Can you imagine..? Totally PC and ‘inclusive’ with 80% of the film focussing on a gay love affair between a pilot and a tail-gunner. (Oh and they did a bombing raid too – or something…)”

    Yes Tuck. Gay people can only write about things that include gay subject matter.

    Possibly the most stupid comment I’ve read on this forum!

    Yes ,it was a reunion last year of 3 Lancs and a Vulcan,all Avros ,what’s so puzzling?

    Bringing multiples together doesn’t make it a reunion. I don’t think the aircraft have ever ‘met’ before. Just odd wording.

    Make it if you like, but I shall NOT be watching it. And that it a promise.

    I’m sure no one at the film studio will lose any sleep over that. A closed mind that will never be opened. How odd.

    In fact this thread is odd. How did the OP go from ‘whining Jacko’ to film ‘film to be cancelled?’

    Just watched it. A very poignant and touching few words from a Kriegsmarine survivor on the futility of it all.

    Futility of the attack or the war?

    The Eden project is an utter waste of time in my humble opinion. It’d make a great landfill area. I just don’t get it…

    Waste of time, could be. Waste of money? Well, it is very expensive when you compare to the many free botanical gardens in the UK

    Apologies. I thought they might be well known but they are such striking images.

    Only a 4,000 metre concrete one. But otherwise, yes no paved runways.
