 | Dambusters to be remade Hi V2. Did you know that Peter Jackson wanted to opt out the name "******" and replace it. Also, Weta Workshops is building 10 replica Lancaster bombers for the ground shots. Wonder who will be cast as W/Cdr Guy Gibson...?? Cheers. James.

| Are you sure about him wanting to change Gibsons' dogs name? Because everything I've read about this remake keeps saying that he wants to make it as authentic as possible. Still the 10 replica Lancs should make an awesome site on the ground together!

| They are going to hire syscom as there historical accuracy director and he will replace the Lancasters with B-24s because they were better suited for the job and will replace RAF pilots with USAAF pilots because that is just the way it should have been!

| i've always heard a lot of talk about this but this's the first i've heard of it actually going ahead, don't hold out much hope for this guys, there's every chance it wont be accurate and why make it anyway? to make money, so no doubt he'll try and make it a bit more interesting for the paying public, the original was made as more of a tribute to the men, remaking the film is like tearing down a statue to replace it with a digitally remastered statue if you get me, that being said it'll be interesting to see what they do with this and how much of a role PA474 will play... she is due to recieve a new paint scheme next season? a dambusters one perhaps? well, no, it wont be not only has she already carried a dambuster's code but she now has the upper turret so will be of little use to the film makers, to be honest i think i'd rather they didn't remake the film... but yes pB if they cast me as Gibson i will accept and of they change the name n*gger that will be the biggest crime of all, and remember they can't just change the name of the dog, n*gger was also the callsign for a succesful breaching of the Moehner damn i believe it was........

| Well from what I've read, Jackson intends on hiring an Englishman to write the sceneplay, so hopefully this will keep it historically acurate. As good as the original is, I for one am looking forward to the remake. I just hope the CGI Lancs are up to speed.
