The remake of Dambusters.........
Discussion
Can anyone tell me if this is true of not?
Hadnt heard anything about it, but 'the bloke down the pub' doesnt swear he is elvis, but does swear that there is a remake coming up of the Dambusters.
Supposedly done by the bloke who did lord of the rings.
Can someone confirm or deny, or give me more detail.

Sure. It won't involve any dams, won't be set during the 40s and will be about the USAF. Puff Daddy will be doing the soundtrack and it will star Van Diesel. It will be an enormous hit with the new generation of British fHadnt heard anything about it, but 'the bloke down the pub' doesnt swear he is elvis, but does swear that there is a remake coming up of the Dambusters.

I don't think this film is dependent on US funding so I don't see "rewriting of history" being an issue.
The issue over the dog's name has caused a bit of a kerfuffle in the UK and it remains to be seen how it is dealt with.
The added problem is that the name was also used as the code word to be reported back by Gibson when each dam was breached.
I think this is a minor issue and I hope Jackson will use the opportunity to correct the historical inaccuracies in the original film. He will also be able to depict the bouncing bomb (which was a mine in reality) accurately as the technical details of the weapon were still on the Top Secret list in 1955 and could not be shown in the original movie.

IIRC it was only partially successful in that not all three were breached and the number of planes that returned 11 with eight being lost represented a heavy toll for one mission.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Chastise
