Digsy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Looks like my all time favourite film is set to get re-made. See the link on AVForums. I guess this could go either very well or very badly (Pearl Harbour ). FIngers crossed they don't make a complete mess of it. With Stephen Fry doing the screenplay, hopefully he'll keep the British end up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 "Renaming the dog for the pc brigade sums this up" Good point. I used to be based at RAF Scampton for 6 years and there was talk of filming it there. All the stuff is still there, even Niggers grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra dan Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 got a feeling it will go pete tong. the original is an all time classic, very atmospheric and i dont think a modern film will capture that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I'm looking forward to learning how the Yanks won the war for us again. POP Quiz - What film is this from... might not be word for word... but hey.. Said in a plumby British accent. "The Americans are planning a counter attack!" "Well, its about bloody time!" I really wonder what they do learn about history in their schools.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Well I just hope they use the original theme tune, as it gives me such good memories of when I was a kid watching this with my dad BJun5ziotfw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Independence Day ? Do you mean the crappy sci-fi flick with Will Smith, because some might think that actually happened?! It didn't, did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
