Well, I thought it was going to be cool when I saw the articles about the filming, but it looks like it's going to be a little hokey - ala "pearl harbor" style.

Looks like the CG guys got a little carried away, but at least they are using some real planes for footage.

Never even knew this was coming - thanks, Waffle!

Now I thought I remembered hearing that they were making a new one about the Tuskegee Airmen...  But then I also thought it went by this name...  Anyone know if there is actually going to be another Tuskegee Airmen movie, or did someone simply see the black pilot from Flyboys and come to a dumb conclusion?

I heard from a guy at work about a WW2 one coming out too Vudak. Said he had seen the trailer. Im betting it was this one because he doesnt know the diffference between a P-51 and a frisbee.

On a side note, if any of you are slowly but surely working your gf/wife through your old movie favorites, better get Blue Max outta the way PRONTO, as she'll never want to watch it after she sees this one.

(Despite the fact that, I'm willing to bet at least, the Blue Max will turn out to be the much better film - though hopefully I'll get to eat those words :aok ).

cool, americans fighting Jasa 11 Triplanes day in day out, shooting down zep's, fighting the british who are clearly arrogant and need a good punching, black american first world war pilot to please the "race discrimination" crybabies...

looks great :)

that was filmed at the RAF training base RAF Halton btw, IIRC they also made tons of replicas of first world war a/c for filming.

Isn't that the truth. The only thing you need to make the movie "based off a true story" it seems is someone's name or similarity to a real event.

Finally, a WWI airplane movie! Blue Max was a long time ago and Snoopy's adventures were never enough.

i dont know for certain, but i think the chances of that are virtually nil.
