He states that his previous film was a love story and that this one will focus solely on a snapshot of the operations in theatre.
(thank god, it was the love story that destroyed a potential good Canadian war story)

One hopes it can ONLY be better, but you never know.

Let me guess, "Do-gooder Mountie" teams up with a street wise Afghan cop to battle the bad guys in the back alley's of Kandahar?

Would there be a poochie sidekick again as well, or would that be not on in Kandahar?

"Gross will play the role of the intelligence officer"

I really appreciate the fact he makes movies featuring our Forces. I just wish he would stop starring in them.

 

[Pieman]

Did he write this one too? Hope not.

Great. This, along with Hurt Locker, will have me spending the rest of my days responding 'No it wasn't really like that at all'.

I only hope whatever advisors he has onboard dig their heels in and do what they can to limit 'artistic license'.

Interesting FACTOID:

Paul Gross comes from a military family.  He would have been a PMQ Rat, as his father was Armour Corps and was the CO of the RCD in Gagetown in the 1960's.  He would have been familiar with both the RCD and LdSH (RC).

When I knew Major Bob Gross well enough to salute and say "good morning, Sir," he was a squadron commander in the Strathconas in Germany circa 1966.

He mentioned he was a PMQ rat last week when he accepted this.

At least he won't be the romantic lead in the movie - I mean, an Intelligence officer who gets the girl?  Everyone would know it's fiction.

He told me has a joke that it would not be on a love story.  He would not involve ''Dan'' in it  :blotto: >
