Peter Jackson's remake of 'The Dam Busters' - When?

[D-Day_Dodger]

I'm just wondering if there is a 'gen man' out there who can shed some light on how production is coming on Peter Jackson's remake of 'The Dam Busters'. The only info I have is quite old and only that he had picked his director, whose name escapes me.

PJ makes great movies, so I'm sure it will be worth the wait. But he always has so many new projects on the go that I'd like to know how far along the pipeline the Dam Busters is. He apparently has gotten the go ahead to make 'The Hobbit' (in 2 parts) which I'm sure will take up much of his time.

However, he is quoted as saying that 'The Dam Busters" was a film he wanted to re-make ever since he was young so I have no fear that it won't get made eventually.
