Some Dambusters movie remake info

[B-29 Super Fort]

Here’s a great seasonal present for all Dambuster film fans. Speaking on Campbell Live, a New Zealand TV show, on Monday 14 December Peter Jackson confirmed that the remake is going ahead, and that shooting is likely to start sometime next year. He is a busy man, and the bulk of the TV interview was about his newest release, The Lovely Bones, which has just concluded a series of premieres around the globe. Also on his studio’s horizon is The Hobbit, with Ian MacKellen lined up to play a role. But towards the end of the interview he said “if all goes well we’ll be shooting Dambusters in 2010″, and confirmed that ten full size Lancaster models are currently in a warehouse in Wellington.

Would love to see those 10 full size lancasters in that warehouse.

Below is one of the mock-up of a Lancaster bomber at Masterton's Hood Aerodrome from last May.

Wow, pretty awesome! That mock up looks pretty realistic, at least from that angle and distance away. I sure hope they use a real Lancaster for some of the shots, either the BBMF's, the CWH's or Just-Jane. Exciting times!

I agree they need to use a real Lancaster for as many flying scenes as possible.

There've been some concerns over the product placement.
