Bish modelcrazy On BBC America all I see scheduled on the 11th are movies and Dr Who (the "new" one, season 11). Since it's showing over the pond then, we may be able to see it soon. That is a must see for sure. I am guessing you normally get it after we do here. So hopefully it won't be long. If i remember right, on Nov 11th you observe vetrens day rather than Armistace day.

It was commemorated as Armistace Day until WWII. Since WWII that date is now commemorated as Veterans Day. Since we have been engaged in a few more wars since then. Our Memorial Day in May, which has been observed since shortly after our Civil War of the 1860s, is an older commemoration. I hate using the word celebration for either holiday.
I do hope to catch that Peter Jackson film sometime. I am no WWI buff by any means. But the previews look incredible and it is a most important subject.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

Bishon Nov 11th you observe vetrens day rather than Armistace day.
Yes sir, we do. All vets are honored, it's quite nice, and a good opportunity for a free meal at several restaurants and record some great movies.

Its been announced that this is to be shown on BBC 2 at 9.30pm on the 11th Nov. Hopefully you guys will be able to catch it as well.
There was a segment about this on the One Show last night, a BBC show that goes out every night. Jackson was talking about how it was done, i have a feeling the footage was from a BBC Documentery on how it was done which is being shown next month. jackson was saying that it was a lot more about the colourisation, there was also altering the speed as well as adding sound effects. Amazing work.
They had the historian Dan Snow on the show last night. He asked jackson, who is a big WW1 enthusiast, why he didn't make a movie about the great war seeing as he had everything he needed to do it. Jackson had said that the Great War was his passion and he would never make a movie on it, but he put more effort into this project than he did into any of the big blockbuster movies he made.
This sounds great. I, myself can't get enougth of WW I, with Robert Ryan narrating. I own the series on DVD.

Very possably. I checked our local cinema's tonight and they are both fully booked for the screening tomorrow. Guess i'll have to wait until next month.
templar1099 Makes sense to debut across the pond,I believe the footage used is from the Imperial War Museum.

"le plaisir delicieux et toujours nouveau d'une occupation inutile"
It is set to be released in cinema's tomorrow along with screenings in schools and other venues. It will then been shown on the BBC at a later date, i would imagine next month. After that it should be avaliable on the BBC iplayer.
That's amazing! If it's in the UK, we probably won't see it for a year or so, and then on Netflix, the History Channel or AHC.
I saw a video about this on YouTube the other day. It was amazing. The colorization is remarkable, but they (Weta Digital) also adjusted the frame rates to make people's movements look natural.
All those cameramen at the time were hand cranking the film, which is why so many old film looks fast and have a silent-film "jerkyness" to them. So they re-timed everything and it's amazing how it suddenly feels "real," instead of just some old film.
Here's a link to the video I saw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mtz3KHWn1W8
