Jackson to produce 'The Dambusters'
Peter Jackson will produce a new version of The Dambusters, according to reports.

The Lord Of The Rings director will take on the $30 million film, which will be directed by his friend Christian Rivers. Rivers will make his directorial debut, having previously worked with Jackson as animation director and visual effects director in the Rings series.

The remake will be filmed partially in the UK, and will recount the story of a WWII Royal Air Force squadron, as in the 1954 original.
