Peter Jackson should hire this guy to do the CGI Lancasters;

quote "Most of the US$50 million film will be shot in Wellington, where about 10 full-scale replicas of the Lancaster bombers used in the 1943 raid will be built by visual effects company Weta Workshop. Some filming is also likely in Britain." .........................."Computer-generated visual effects and models will depict much of the mission. Jackson had not ruled out using working Lancasters, but the 10 replicas would not fly.
“You do have to have them on the airfield and actors walking around them. We’re not going to resort to CG (computer-generated effects) for every single shot in this movie.”
It was likely a British screenwriter would be hired. The cast could include A-list stars, but director Christian Rivers said they were most likely to cast actors in their 20s for the main roles. Wing Commander Gibson was only 24 and some pilots were as young as 20.
“One of the things that’s really important for us, which isn’t in the original film, is to capture how young these pilots really were,” Rivers said."
