I don't think so. There really isn't a lot that happened. Maybe thirty minutes of movie action time. I guess they could include stuff about Beatty's marriage but that just ruins a movie.

The biggest problem would more than likely be how to model a sufficient number of 'realistic' dreadnoughts without resorting to archive footage :hmm:

I think there is plenty to fill out a movie without getting too much into character development.

That's why we'd need the American funding.

There's a 4 disc DVD set called 'Dogfights' which amongst other things, recreates the demise of the Bismarck and the dogfighting characteristics of the Japanese Zero. The CGI is excellent, well worth a viewing
