They Shall Not Grow Old
 

My jaw dropped when I saw the trailer for this film. So moving that these brave men can be seen as real as you & I.

A work of genius ..

They Shall Not Grow Old review – Peter Jackson's electrifying journey into the first world war trenches

Has anyone managed to see this yet?

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

Only seen a few brief excerpts so far but yes it's absolutely stunning how the footage has been transformed.

It's coming right to the BBC isn't it? The cinema screenings were a limited release I think.

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

Thanks .. I will look out for this ..

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

Not in 3D though. Personally I would have loved to have seen it that way as it would have helped with the immersion into the world alongside the colourisation.

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

my local Picture House cinema is showing it Sunday afternoon in 3d

edit: sadly sold out :(

Mark Kermode talking to Peter Jackson about it is interesting as well

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

I'm looking forward to this. You might be interested to know that a copy is being sent to every secondary school, which I think is a brilliant way to help keep their memory alive for future generations.

Certainly something very much to look forward to when the BBC give us a scheduled date.

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

It's on BBC Remembrance Sunday

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

Thanks admars.

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

This is getting a wider release in cinemas btw. Announced today. No details when/where tho.

Re: They Shall Not Grow Old
 

A reminder that it's on tonight at 21:30 on BBC2.

Tomorrow at 19:30 on BBC4 (with a repeat at 2am the following morning), there is a programme called 'What Do Artists Do All Day?' This is a behind the scenes look at the work of director Peter Jackson who created this programme.

At 22:00 there is a programme called 'A Scottish Soldier: A Lost Diary of WW1' that is dedicated to the role that a black soldier called Arthur Roberts played in the war.
