Just saw this today and looks like something to see. However it is only for 1 night but hope to see more of it.

Magnificient idea!

I had seen the trailer on Facebook but there were no details as to when it will be available.
Impressive colourisation of original footage.

[Stumptonian]

That looks really interesting.
Hope it gets more than one outing.

[Scrivner]

Can't wait to see this!

I'll have to keep an eye out for it on the streaming services and DVD releases over the next few months.

What a magnificent concept brought to life by Peter Jackson.
I really enjoyed the interview with him where he mentioned people still alive having Great Uncles or great Grandfathers they could remember. Both my Grandfathers and a great Uncle served, and I can remember talking to them as a young man. In fact one of my Grandfathers lived to see his first Great grandson born in 1974.

Well done Peter Jackson, and Bob for posting it.

Rob.

As a Kiwi - I'm immensely proud of what Sir Peter has accomplished through hard work and passion.

A short interview with Peter Jackson
They Shall Not Grow Old

I hope that there will be more opportunities to see it.

Just caught Peter Jackson being interviewed on The One Show. Apart from the fact coming out that he had the largest air force in New Zealand, they also looked at clips from his WWI films and we were told that the film will be shown on the BBC in mid November so look out for it chaps.

Hopefully, we'll have a chance to see it over here, too, Rob! I look forward to hearing what folks think about it as they have a chance to view it...

All the best,
Matt

Thanks David I've put it in the diary.

[Flying Helmut]

Thanks David!

[milcoll73]

im generally not a fan of colorized footage because they often get details wrong, but this looked pretty good.

[Hedeby]

Many thanks David - in the planner as we speak, just gutted I couldn't see it on its one day cinema release

Rather hoping our ABC TV might show this on Sunday 11th November.
Wont hold my breath but will check out the weekly guide in the newspaper today.
