Why couldn't David Lean think to do it, alas...

I am really getting excited about BAz's movie too. Not only because it is being filmed in Australia, but because I am hoping to get out there and have a look while it is being filmed. I also believe his movie will be better then stones, paricularly if the scripts we say on this forum are anything to go on. Surely it must be a joke, thats script was beyond bad.

Dave-It would be wonderful if you do get to go and see some of the filming. Would you come back and post set reports? :)
I'm very much looking forward to the battle scenes and hope they can secure the Australian troops they need.Max

I beleive the deal has been done. The premier of NSW the state in which Broken hill is, is really pushing for. The only concern is regional security. We really dont have many soldiers, we have issues in Indonessia and the Solomans. We have troops in gulf and I think some still Afganistan. So we are spread pretty thin, our entire population is under 20 million. so you can imagine we dont have a big army. If you want to seen the countryside around broken hill have a look at Mad Max II or III film out there.

Surely Jonnie Howard could round up some
dole bludger from the work for the dole scheme
to act as extras?
