Nope, not the ww2 book made into a movie, but a ww1 flick. Done by the dude from Independence Day (so some cg) as well as lot of live action footage.

looks interesting.

I predict "Pearl Harbor with BiPlanes"  
at first it looked like it might be good, until I read the casting list.  Jean Reno is the only one there I like and would watch.   I'll probably end up seeing it just for the planes :lol

lol - funny - just looked at this months Air & Space smithsonian magazine and there's an article in there. One thing I did notice is that they didn't want to use CG for planes, so they've got around  5  Nieuport 17s, some are ultra light fabrications, 2 fokker DR-1s,  a Sopwith 1-/2 strutter, Bleriot XI, Bristol F-2, and a SE-5a. They did say they will use some cg for putting together some of  the actual dogfighting.

wtf, you need a password to view the trailer?

At least there are no big names in it, so maybe it won't totally suck.

I was just thinking (dangerous, I know) it would probably be cheaper to build some of those old stick and cloth kites than it would be to CGI them. But, I'm sure a corporate insurance company guy was worried about losing some precious profit and bonuses.

That book was so intense, I really hope no one in Hollywood gets a wild hair up thier you-know-what and tries to write a screenplay based on it.


Man, that was some morbid, morbid **** in that book.
