They will use the kind of generated computer graphics they used in the Harry Potter films. He also said that when it came to Gibson's dog - it will be called Nigger. Quite right too.
A friend of mine owns the Dambuster Inn in Scampton Village and had Sir David Frost & Peter Jackson in for a visit 2 weeks ago. The Dog's name is the only issue with regards to authenticity of the planned movie, it will change according to Sir DF.
The good news is that unlike the original, which followed Barnes W and his plight to find a way to win the war for the first part of the movie, the new film will concentrate on Wg Cdr Gibson's career prior to 617 Sqn.
The theme music is staying too!!!
Due out next December.
