Fight Club With Planes

[dkwookie]

Interesting new film coming out. Looks like they have an interesting spin on the WW2 dogfight film:

Presume the re-enactments involve live ammo at some point. Could be great, could be awful.

Edit: after re-reading that piece it sounds more like a Fast And Furious with WW2 planes

Sounds pretty cool, although lol at the terribly written article.

I guess anyone in Michigan is in for a free airshow

Sounds like one of those things that will be either completly awesome or completely terrible. No middle ground.

Even if it's terrible I'm sure the flying bits can be edited into a decent YouTube vid

I bet it will be made to appeal to teens with lots of shakey cam and rapid cutting. Bizzare idea for a film in my opinion. Like they wanted to do a ww2 air combat film but the orange film producer got involved

PMSL Maybe they will organise formation flying via texts?
Those Orange ads have ruined that guy - now, when I see him in anything else, he's still the Orange guy and I'm just waiting for a stupid remark or his silly little sidekick to pop up...

LOL that's why we get so many (crap) re-makes of films made when the ideas (and the drugs) were flowing. Hollywood has been very stale for many years, with a few notable exceptions. Stupid really, because all they need to do is go into a bookshop and there is at least a decades worth of material right there. Note - this does require some imagination on the part of the reader/screenwriter...

I hope it is good. This American generation has very little interest in aviation but I'm sure another movie on par with top gun will fix that.
