Was bored and doing some perusing and was looking into some updates on the Spielberg/Hanks production of the Masters of the Air mini-series.
- Miniseries bible was finished August of 2016 Per writer John Orloff https://twitter.com/johnorloff/status/766313117085265920
- As of yesterday, John Orloff and presumingly others are still working on the scripts. https://twitter.com/johnorloff/status/869506912638914560
- Some of the planes to be featured: Messerschmitt Bf 109 and 110, Messerschmitt Me 262 Focke-Wulf Fw 190, and Junkers Ju 88. Obviously the B-17 is the main bomber for the Allied https://twitter.com/johnorloff/status/866685587956301825
- There were rumors that the title would be changed to the Mighty Eighth. Orloff says multiple times that that is not the working name, but also Masters of the Air may not be the final name. https://twitter.com/johnorloff/status/866511986611367936
- There is an article http://ift.tt/2sdZkKT that says it has a $500 million dollar budget (Compared to BoB's 125mil and the Pacific's 200mil) but gives no source on that number. That article also says someone named Marson says an expected showdate of 2019, but again I can find no proof/source nor any idea who Marson is.
- There were a few articles a few years ago saying filming had already commenced around 2013. I don't believe that is the case. Looks like Spielberg/Orloff/others are still doing location scouting across the UK and Europe. http://ift.tt/2luTlyi
I'm just very interested about this series and thought others might be as well. If anyone knows anything else feel free to let me know and I'll update this post
