No Hollywood in the Dambusters

"Don't let Hollywood loose on the Dam Busters."

LL - read that piece on "The Dambusters" new version again and tell me where the words "Hollywood", "USA" "American" turn up even once (and do try to keep up, this was announced well over a year ago). The man behind it is Sir David Frost, the script is being written by Stephen Fry and the producer and director are from New Zealand. Filming will be done in NZ and the UK. At least one American and a Canadian or two should be in the cast, of course.
You're going to mention the dog next, aren't you?

My vote for one of the worst films - 'Tactical Assault' with Rutger Hauer flying a MiG-29/F-16/Kfir/L-39, often on the same sortie, having crazy hair and trying to kill everyone.

'The Net' - I saw part of it on TV one afternoon a couple of years back. Given it seemed to have no real aircraft in it, they did a good job with the special effects.
