FURY new Brad Pitt WWII film

[fantail]

Some cool looking tank fun coming soon.

[Cubs]

Looks fun.

I couldn't quite see the tank properly and I'm not really up on tanks too much anyway. Was it a Hellcat? A 76mm Sherman?

sherman vs tiger

Worth a look

Nice to stick a clip of his bare torso in for the ladies!

I hope this is good.  However it looks a bit heavy on the overly-dramatic side.  Also I'm never too fond of movies which promote a silly ending "five against three hundred!"     I'll see it just for some tank porn but my expectation that it's a quality film are rather low.

Dear Boys,
Larry would be turning in his grave, all action but very little substance .
I am sure the Super hero/ far east teenage market will love it.
I will be performing "Old Mother Goose" in Bristol this next Pantomime  season.
We have decided to be faithful to the story no doubt unlike Brad,s balls and no
trouser effort.

Keep it up

Same here...

Looks like a Sherman Easy 8...

Looks fairly good from the first trailer and looking forward to seeing the movie and was about time Hollywood made a WW2 tank movie

[Ballardian]

Yes, it's an M4A3E8 ('Easy Eight') Sherman, acceptable for the films timeframe (& so ends my rivet counting) - as to the films quality - decent cast, obviously had a reasonable amount of cash thrown at it, leads me to believe it'll probably be entertaining - I'm not sure absolute verite should be expected from this sort of star vehicle - just get the popcorn & sit back!

I think I read somewhere that the Tiger was shipped from the Tank Museum to be used in the production. I could see the appeal to them as the payment would pay for the running costs. Have to say I'm really looking forward to it and it was filmed just down the road from me.

I shall be spending my ticket money on Mother Goose: a pantomime sans pants, rather than seeing the Pitt film. When Fury is inevitably shown on History Channel, I shall enjoy it for free.

I had heard from somewhere I can't recall that they built the Tiger from scratch for the movie, but I might be wrong.

Looks decent. What is Brad like 50 years old? Where there really 50-year-old tank commanders? Of course being in his 40s didn't stop Brad from playing the teenage Achilles in Troy, so I guess he's not really a stickler for these things.

I'm willing to bet it's the faux Tiger Saving Pvt. Ryan tank built up on a Sherman chassis that we used to see every once in a while at reenacting events. I tend to doubt they would break out a real tiger just for the movie. Surprised they didn't just use CGI.

I'd rather put my money on some pieces dug out somewhere in Russia, they tend to do such things and need the money Hollywood can pay. I would assume for the cash they pay Pitt you can buy/rebuild 10 tigers
