I'm recently back from a meeting with producers in Los Angeles regarding a full 120 page thriller type screenplay, but to be honest, all they wanted to talk about was a remake of the 1955 film, "The Cockleshell Heroes" - British history/gallantry is still very much a draw to some American producers.
Then for lords sake get them to do something about the Glider Pilot Regiment. If one group of soldiers has ever been deserving of a full length movie tribute it's them. Heck, based on the stories and interviews I've done with them over the years you could make a Band-of-Brothers style TV epic.
