The guys who brought us 'Saving Private Ryan' and 'Jarhead' are making a WWI movie

Thank you, my friend LTC Greg Henning for sharing the news for Task and Purpose that Steven Spielberg will produce and Sam Mendes will direct World War I drama "1917" beginning in the next few months.
"The project secured permission last week to begin shooting at the Govan Graving Docks in Glasgow, Scotland, according to BBC News. Production is slated to start April 22 and last 10 weeks while they set up, film, then dismantle the set. It's unclear how much of the film will be shot in Glasgow. The film is expected to be released in December 2019.
Spielberg's production company Amblin is set to produce the movie, with Mendes signed on to both direct and cowrite the script, according to Den of Geek. It'll be his first time working on the writing front, where he'll be joined by Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Penny Dreadful)."

I expect that the Battle of Belleau Wood and the Battle of Chateau-Thierry will figure in the script which were the battles that US Expeditionary forces received their baptism of fire and demonstrated to French and British with commonwealth forces as well as the German forces, that they could hold their own. Perhaps a bit part for LTC George Patton :-)
Thank you for mentioning me, my friend Maj Marty Hogan
