Not sure what to make of this. I really hope it's funny.
It has a great cast but it might get unfavourable comparisons to the classic tv series.

I think that's inevitable.

Caught this filming near my Uni the other day, didn't really catch what it was until I saw news articles on it, should of really investigated further.

As for the project itself, is there really any interest in a film version, the TV show is a classic, but it's also a product of it's time. Even with it being a film, I'm struggling to see how they're going to the humour of the TV show without it being dated as hell. Really strange project.

^ I also acknowledge that Dad's Army had a studio audience (live or recorded unsure) which would enhance such humour. Well it could sure be interesting, I can see an avenue they could explore with updating the humour.

Now, for "Last of The Summer Wine".

Here's the trailer

Reminds me of Hot Fuzz, only without the charm and jokes.

levcore · 08-21-2015, 02:56 PM

I love the show so I'm in for this. This is absolutely NOTHING like Hot Fuzz.

Looks ghastly. Impossible to watch without imagining how much better the real cast would have said the lines.

Not convinced by the trailer but I'm sure it'll be good because come on - it's got Michael Gambon in it!

I don't think this is going to end well...

I think it is because the cast is brilliant. I think it's probably just a bad trailer for the film.
