Any WWI films that are under production?

So is there any movie production out there that is making or thinking up a WWI film?

With all the planes that Peter Jackson has and building leads to one conclusion. I just hope it's going to happen soon.

If that is the case then making a movie of Derek Robinson's WAR STORY will just do nicely! In the book it's 1916 and HORNET Squadron's complement of aircraft consist of BE2c's and FE2b's.

Ah, personally I find truth better than fiction though. Such as the story of a 22 Squadron pilot, alone in his 'Fee', chasing a German cyclist along a road until the cyclist crashes into the wall of a house

There's a documentary coming out later this year (November last I heard) in the UK about the RFC which should be very good - I should know, i'm an extra in it as an Air Mechanic! Spent a couple of very enjoyable days at the Shuttleworth Collection for part of the filming

Oddly enough, in one scene there should be a glimpse of another extra taking a wrench to a rotary whilst I pass over some nuts to him!
