Peter Jackson to remake Dambusters

http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/latest/200609020845/1e86eb97

Starts filming next year so its still a way off.

Hope he doesnt change the dogs name though, he seems to take his artistic integrity fairly seriously...


Cool...

He needs to keep the music!!!

why is he remaking all these films these days? first king kong, and now this...
does he think he's incredibly fab, or summat?
would be better to do something original, imo

oh no, then my colleagues will recognise my "im having a bad day in germany and think this meeting is a load of bollocks" ring tone. damm will have to get a "broadsword calling danny boy" polyphone one instead.

Oh FFS. Aren't they making any original films any more?

Re-making 'all these' films is original for him. He's already played around with his own ideas, maybe he's just trying something different.
Anyway, wasn't making King Kong his dream since he was a kid?

I wouldn't worry about his selling out just yet. He's only just beginning.

Interesting that he is not actually directing this one though, so I dont know if it counts a real Peter Jackson film. His next project as a director is an adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones.

Ah well - that's alright, then. He's duly forgiven

This is gonna go down really well with the locals i'm sure

Gonna kind of miss the special effects when the bomb hits the damn and they have cut a waterfall into the film tape

According to the BBC Peter Jackson is getting a bit bored with making movies now.
He's just signed a deal with Microsoft to make "a new form of interactive entertainment" with their X-box division.
Should be exciting

I can almost picture the scene now as the lead B-29 Superfortress descends out of the clouds on its run into the Starnberger See Dam where its bouncing bomb, developed in secret in the great lakes of the Arizona Desert, sits poised to knock the evil muslim defenders off the top of the dam to cries of "Eiyeee!". Nicholas Cage plays Buzz Sjkwetziky (typical all-American surname) the brave pilot who soldiers on, blood pouring from a bullet gash above his right eye from the last Japanese fighter attack. Kevin Dunn plays Chuck Dewey, the Boston-Irish navigator. Bruce Willis as Rear-Admiral General-Lieutenant Dick Hern, directs proceedings via radio messages from OB deep within The Pentagon, with that all too experienced worried frown on his brow. You just know he'd rather be there up in the crate, like he was last time over Baghdad. Will they succeed in destroying the enemy before The British decide to join this war?

Don't forget the giant ape that the cunning Bosch have trained to protect the dam, his only weak point an encounter with a British orangutang in his distant past, at the Henley regatta before the war and the silver cigarette case that was won and lost on that day.

Codename Operation Mordor.
