Charlie Flick Posted October 19, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 19, 2018 Greetings All: I just learned that Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings films, is coming out with a very interesting documentary entitled "They Shall Not Grow Old". It is not just another grainy set of images pulled together. Rather, Jackson has colorized and improved the images using some marvelous tech tools. These moving images, with added sound, are rather remarkable. Here is a link to the entire story on how this was accomplished: https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/military-culture/2018/10/17/lord-of-the-rings-director-brings-the-trenches-of-wwi-to-life-in-stunning-new-documentary/ The story has a link to a short trailer on the film here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=18&v=EHYRfukHToc The 99 minute film opened October 16 in the UK. No word yet on when it might become available in the USA. I plan to see it when it comes to a theater near me or on Netflix..

Bugme Posted October 20, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2018 Someone forwarded this to me last week. It is absolutely stunning. When you leave B&W and give it color and voices, it changes your whole view of WWI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgee Posted October 22, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 22, 2018 Looks spectacular. Can't wait to see it. I had an Irish uncle, my namesake, who was an acting Captain in the Manchester Regiment killed at age 20 at Arras in April 1917. Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
