At the risk of playing “Six Degrees of Floyd,” a couple weeks ago we reported that actor Richard Todd, probably best-known for his role in 1954’s “The Dam Busters,” the film playing on Pink’s TV during the film “Pink Floyd The Wall,” died at age 90.
Now there’s news Peter Jackson plans to remake “The Dam Busters” using new 3-D technology.
The director, most-recently known for bringing “The Lord of the Rings” to the screen, is shooting test footage in 3-D. If the tests prove successful, “Dam Busters” will be his first feature to use the technology.
Christian Rivers, responsible for animation in Jackson’s “King Kong,” will be part of the £24 million project. Stephen Fry will be co-writing the screenplay, adapted from the 1951 Paul Brickhill book.
