Just saw a little bit of news over at the Aerodrome forum that might be of interests to the people here and this seems to be the right thread in which to mention it.

It's just a rumor now, but if true it will have a big impact on the development of WW1 flight sims.
Apparently Peter Jackson is a big fan of WW1 aircraft. He's making King Kong right now and in the opening sequence there is suppose to be a WW1 dogfight since one of the main human characters is suppose to be a former WW1 pilot. Well the rumor is that he might be in the process of re-making The Blue Max once King Kong is finished. During my one and only meeting with a rep from Destineer, he said that the only thing execs at game companies were intersted in was getting franchise names to develop into games. Well if someone with the reputation of Peter Jackson re-makes The Blue Max, it will certainly go a long way in changing game publisher's outlook toward WW1 flight sims. Of course it could mean a boatload of more versions of WoW. Look at all the cheap WW2 flight games that came out after the movie Pearl Harbor.
