vostoktrading Posted June 29, 2013 #2 Posted June 29, 2013 This one Owen? Is it shooting yet? Sounds interesting. http://collider.com/shia-labeouf-brad-pitt-fury/ "Writer/Director David Ayer, best known for his cop thrillers like TRAINING DAY and END OF WATCH, has sold his spec script for a WWII Tank movie, called FURY. QED International paid $1 million for the script and will produce the pic with Ayers behind the reins. The story "takes place in 1945 as the Nazi regime collapses and the five man crew of an American tank called Fury battles a desperate German army." Sounds like a bit of a departure for Ayer, who usually leans toward the gritty, street-level type stories. However, it's to note that Ayer got his start by working on the Jonathan Mostow thriller U-571, so it's not exactly unheard of the filmmaker to jump back in time for his work..."
history-buff1944 Posted June 29, 2013 #4 Posted June 29, 2013 Ill be looking forward to watching this on the big screen.
M24 Chaffee Posted June 30, 2013 #5 Posted June 30, 2013 This is very cool to know. I've wondered if they would ever make a WWII tanker movie. This could be really good with the right cast, director and hopefully attention to authenticity. Looking forward to it! Thanks for the heads up! Frank
hbtcoveralls Posted June 30, 2013 #6 Posted June 30, 2013 supposed be shooting in England near London September 2013 to January 2014.
vintageproductions Posted July 1, 2013 #9 Posted July 1, 2013 I have enjoyed the Director's other films so looking forward to this one.

Jack's Son Posted July 1, 2013 #11 Posted July 1, 2013 Now that you've been in the trenches Owen......is war really he'll??
Sabrejet Posted July 2, 2013 #12 Posted July 2, 2013 Cool! Sounds like the one we've all been waiting for!!
willysmb44 Posted August 30, 2013 #13 Posted August 30, 2013 I'm dismissing the hype comments and going straight to wondering where this'll be filmed and how much real equipment will be used? http://www.deadline.com/2013/04/brad-pitt-to-star-in-david-ayers-wwii-fury/ I hope this comes to pass, there are several projected big-bidget WW2 movies that are stuck in financing limbo (I know because I was associated with one that has been on-again-off-again for the better part of several years now, as a historical advisor). But I love the fact that this will have nothing to do with Paratroopers, Marines, or any other 'high speed' type of unit and going with armor. We haven't had a movie about tankers in a very long time.
vintageproductions Posted August 30, 2013 #14 Posted August 30, 2013 This movie starts filming in September and will go through until Jan. All the tanks and vehicles are real, and there is going to be a surprise piece of armor in the movie, that has never been filmed before and it is all original. The costuming is dead on. Anna Sheppard who did the costuming for Schindler's List, The Pianists, BOB, Inglorious Basterds, etc, is the head costumer on this film. She spent a day here at my showroom going over details of the "stars" in the accessories they wear. The Director David Ayers, is a "nut" for details, if you have seen any of his police films you will see that. I am very excited to see this get done, and in fact will by flying over the England in Oct to watch one of the major scenes being filmed. Plus one of own members here, has a major rule in the Production, and another member is filming the "Behind The Scenes, Making of", for Sony pictures.
Bugme Posted August 30, 2013 #15 Posted August 30, 2013 Awesome, My dad was armored, he'll be thrilled to see this production done. There really hasn't been anything dealing heavily with armored since: The Battle of the Bulge in 1965, unless of course you think of Kelly's Hero's as an accurate portrayal of armored life.

doinworkinvans Posted August 30, 2013 #18 Posted August 30, 2013 So glad to see this and see that it's going away from all the typical Airborne and such. It'll be good to see some hard nosed tank action! Thank you for sharing!

Woof woof!
GITom1944 Posted August 31, 2013 #20 Posted August 31, 2013 First I've heard of this. I'm looking forward to it. Its also good to see a movie about this time the 1945 time period.
38Driver Posted August 31, 2013 #21 Posted August 31, 2013 Maybe the Sherman can be "Lulu Belle II". Now she was a great tank
RustyCanteen Posted August 31, 2013 #23 Posted August 31, 2013 This may be the first time I looked forward to seeing a WWII film in a long time. Sounds like it will be good.
BOLO Posted September 3, 2013 #24 Posted September 3, 2013 the only time I ever go to the theater is when they make a new war movie, I'll definitely be going to see this one
kammo-man Posted September 3, 2013 Author #25 Posted September 3, 2013 I am working on this movie and can assure you all its going to be special . owen
