'They Shall Not Grow Old': Peter Jackson's WWI film to premiere at BFI London Film Festival in October
Peter Jackson is bringing back some rare footage of the First World War in his upcoming film 'They Shall Not Grow Old'. The film is supposed to be comprised of restored archive footage in their colorized versions and will premier at the BFI London Film Festival in October. Along with the Oscar-winning director, the film will be produced by Clare Olssen and edited by the Jabez Olssen ('Rogue One: A Star Wars Story', 'The Hobbit' franchise).
The newly colorized version has been created in 3D, reproducing around 100-year-old footage from the Imperial War Museum's vast collection as Jackson uses modern technology to give the film its sharp and refined look. The film will also contain voices of some of the war veterans that were recorded during the 50s and 60s.
