This looks good with what appears to a very strong emphasis on authenticity with some spectacular cinematography. This is to be expected from the typical English production and it looks like they have pulled out all the stops. quote:
extracted the comments on the YouTube site: seanyboyo1969 6 days ago They used 2 tigers one was a part replica (the one you see taking hits), they used real Panthers & Mk4 as well as tons of original kit, brought from all over the UK by collectors & reenactors! The early model Tiger1 is a fully runing original from the Bovington tank museum (captured in Tunisia early 1943 by the British army) as well as this their Panther was also used , another Panther was from a private collection in England as was the Mk4. Historical groups loaned Shermans trucks & halftracks (Allied & German). I had some friends working on this film, and can tell you that it's the most authentic presentation (kit wise) ww2 movie ever! And these blokes worked on Saving Private Ryan, Captain Correlis Mandarin, Band of Brothers & a few others! So enjoy the feast if your a WW2 buff & love to see accurate WW2 German tactics weapons & panzers! I'm just gutted i missed out on this filming!!! However, I was intrigued by the choice of Brad Pitt as the lead (though he seems to have done a good job - in the trailer at least) but the strength of a movie is in the plot so I did a bit of digging and found the film is being written and directed by David Ayer whose past screenplays include U-571!! All of a sudden I am filled with trepidation. Will we have another Hollywood style visularly spectacular TMTSNBM or Red Tails on our hands.....
