The 72 hour framing is smart cause the real weather window was genuinely that narrow
I’ve read quite a bit about this, and I’m sceptical there’s a whole movie in it.
Hmmmm wonder what’s their decision
I’ve been seeing trailers for this already, despite the September release date, which is a little odd given that it’s not Dune: Part Three or Spider-Man.
The gap between the US and UK theatrical releases is odd too, seeing as it’s a British film.
Just when you thought Hollywood couldn’t milk WW2 anymore… a movie on the weather guy.
Next idea: can Rosy the riveter crank out 100 widgets a day? The fate of civilization depends on it.
A riveting saga…
We’ve exhausted WW2 movie material to the point of making a movie about a weather report now
Major Winters on another side of D Day
If not doing it results in losing the war anyway, why would you not do it?
I suspect this is an attempt to make a D day movie and have a plot, but also have lots of D day action.
I mean, I’d love to see a new Version of the longest day. Show how Saving Private Ryan made it look way easier than it was.
I recently read a book about it. Omaha basically was saved only because the Destroyer captains said F it, we’ll risk being beached and did point blank fire. In one case a solitary tank would make weak fire on a pillbox and then the destroyers would shell it.
