From the NYT,
"Mr. Haggis and Mr. Eastwood are also collaborating on an ambitious idea to simultaneously produce a second Iwo Jima film. An unknown writer, Iris Yama****a, has been hired to write the script with Mr. Haggis for a movie that would be told from the Japanese point of view and shot in Japanese side by side with "Flags of Our Fathers."
Damn but I think it's an amazing idea. On of the best WW2 movies had a similar idea, what with the duel-national production staff for "Tora, Tora, Tora". I thought it was extremely even handed.
If this happens, it will make for two "must see" movies for me.
