“Sir Peter Jackson has released the trailer for his newest film, They Shall Not Grow Old.

The documentary, which will be Sir Peter’s first film in four years, features colourised and restored World War I footage, drawing on the director’s exclusive access to the Imperial War Museum’s film archive as well as BBC archives.

It will premiere on October 16.”

Saw that, looks brilliant. Unlikely to show where I’m at so hoping it’ll go to dvd soon.

Oi! Peter! Where’s that Dambusters remake? I’m not a fan of reboots but I will make an exception for that.

Peter has been heavily involved with WWI commemorations here in NZ, doing some museum exhibitions involving Weta. And this new doc, which was a surprise to me.

He produced Mortal Engines, which is out soonish.

Trying to get a museum built in NZ to store some of his movie memorabilia – taking a while and isn’t looking likely at the moment.

Dambusters has been so long, my guess is that it isn’t likely to happen.

I think the Imperial War Museum invited him to do this

As for Dambusters. Parts of Lancaster’s have been seen in NZ and thus quote from Jackson

Sources do continue to suggest that Peter Jackson remains personally committed to the project. This was confirmed in the interview given by Jackson in Oxford in the summer, which appears to have been reported only in the hitherto obscure medium of the website of Exeter College, whose ex-students include JRR Tolkien.

Asked what projects he might want to pursue next, Jackson stated he was in “no rush” to recommence filming. Nor indeed, to return to Hollywood.
“At the moment . . . a lot of the films there are not the sort of films I particularly enjoy. So what Fran and I are probably going to do is make some smaller movies, make some New Zealand movies.
“I’ve got The Dam Busters too: I’ve been working on a script with Stephen Fry over the last few years on and off. But whatever we do over the next few years, it will be quite a lot smaller.”
