SHOOTING is likely to start early next year on a blockbuster remake of the classic 1955 Dambusters movie.
A spokesperson for Peter Jackson, the hugely successful director of the Lord of the Rings films, told a New Zealand newspaper that filming was likely to start early next year.
Plans for Mr Jackson’s film about the famous World War Two bombing raid were announced in September 2006 and it was thought shooting would start in April this year.
Mr Jackson is producing the film with Sir David Frost and the script has been written by Stephen Fry but no cast members have yet been revealed although James McAvoy has been tipped to play Wing Commander Guy Gibson.
Last year Mr Jackson, Sir David, Mr Fry and King Kong director Christian Rivers visited the area while scouting locations for the project.
