I was on the lot at Stone Street studios the other day and they are still filming a Sci fi movie. An assistant director told me they don't intend to start filming Dambusters for a few months yet.
Christian Rivers who was Lord of the Rings Art Director is directing the new Dambusters movie. Jackson is the Producer
The Lanc in a Museum at Auckland still fires it's engines every now and then. That aircraft came from the French at New Caledonia in the 1960s when they retired it from maritime patrol.
I doubt Jakson would allow the movie to stray too much from the facts as he was meticulous in recreating scenes in King Kong which had been edited out of the original movie.
I'd eat my hat if Peter Jakson disappoints.
