glad to see they are finally making a movie on this: They made one for TV in 1991, but it was not that good.

I just hope it is not the typical Hollywood Blockbuster summer remake, i.e. Pearl Harbor from a few years back with Ben Affleck almost single handedly defeating the Japanese.

haha, I sure hope not. While the Pearl Harbor scene was done well, it made you believe the Americans won the Battle of Britain and two ****y young pilots won the war.

We Brits are always the villains in US films, they'll probably get English actors to play the sharks.

Where did that come from? The only military movie where that happened was in the "Patriot" where they made the one British guy look like a butcher.

You ever see "Band of Brothers"? 70% of the whole cast was British and they did a great job. However, they were playing American heroes and not British.

It is about time the Brits make their own movies about D-day and their own sacrifices at Arnhem. Battle of Britain would be another good one to make.

Funny to see this thread... I was just watching Jaws, and Quinn told the story about how 1,100 men went down, and 300 came out... The rest went to the sharks.
