I've just read that Spielbergs sourcing a new WW2 movie about Iwo Jima, based on a book called 'Flags of our Fathers' (I havn't read it). Apparently its about two years away  . Anybody else heard anything?IP: Logged |

Burkey, I read "Flags of Our Fathers". It was the most gripping and emotional wartime book I have ever read. I dare anyone to read it and not tear-up or downright cry half a dozen times. Stephen Ambrose called it the best combat account he has ever read.As much as I love the 8th Air Force crews, after reading this book my new heros are the US Marines. IP: Logged |

No love story in it I trust. I hope.  This is great news! WM ------------------

Well, there is and there isn't a love story. It does follow the lives of the flag raiser survivors after the war, so wives are mentioned. But no, no love story on Iwo Jima....unless you count the extraordinary love and respect the Marines had for each other.IP: Logged |

Well it's Spielberg, so I'm hoping he'll do a good job of it. That's it though, one more WWII movie and then Indy 4, its as simple as that.  Werner ------------------

If Ford does Indy4 It will have to be set way past the era of the other 3. Fords pushing Jerrys age now  Still, it will only be Indy if its Harrison Ford.IP: Logged |
