German film director Roland Emmerich's dream project 'Midway' is finally set to be released in November, after waiting nearly 20 years to produce the epic blockbuster. More here:
LONDON - Twenty years after first toying with the idea, German film director Roland Emmerich brings his World War Two drama “Midway” to cinemas next month, focusing on the 1942 Battle of Midway.
The June 4-7 1942 clash, the subject of a 1976 film starring Charlton Heston and Henry Fonda, took place six months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which had catapulted the United States into the conflict. “I chose another war movie, I did ‘The Patriot’ but it never left my mind,” the 63-year-old said referring to his 2000 film set during the American Revolutionary War. “All of a sudden ‘Pearl Harbor’ was there so I had to wait.”The film focuses on real-life U.S. Navy bomber pilot Richard ‘Dick’ Best, played by British actor Ed Skrein, and Emmerich said he worked with the U.S. navy to make the movie, having to convince some officials about the production.
“And I said, ‘well, not really’ ... I said, my movie is about Dick Best and ... from that moment, he was so supportive .. and he ended up even being an extra.”
