Country:  | Hey Lanc.
Jackson is determined to make it is accurate as possible, read the links I gave. There has been a lot of local talk about this, and the surviving aircrew that I have spoken to at the RSA (Returned Servicemens Association, a damn fine bar for a beer and a chat) are stoked with the idea of their combined stories being told at last.
They all see that by the re-telling of this story, it will honour their comrades that didn't return from any mission throughout the war. And there were a load of Kiwi's in 617 for the mission itself.
Apart from that have a look at the "accurate" Memphis Belle" movie. It was originally a British production which was to be a story about G-George on her 100th mission.
The Japanese financial backers forced them to change to an American aircraft for commercial reasons.
At least Jackson and Weta productions are being honest to their own countries servicemen.

Country:  | well time will tell with that one.......
but on to more pressing matters, what're they gonna do about the soundtrack? the original (attached below for your listening pleasure) is an absolute classic, are they just gonna use the some one because they'll have to summit damn special to beat it, although to be honest as it's a modern film it'll probably be more about the action and wont be very British so i don't think this theme tune would fit..........

Country: | Both overrated, Brian May especially. Jerry Cantrell, Tom Morello, Van Halen and Mike Mcready are just a few that are better.
