Daniel Day-Lewis to play WW I Ace Pilot!!!

The DDL is in talks to don the goggles and handle the throttles for next Fall's historical epic "The Red Baron." The film is a voint venture between Paramount, Warner Bros., and Red Baron Pizza, and Miramax. The film is apparently being budgeted at $200 million, that will probably sky rocket as production begins. Buzz has been spreading fast as this one looks to hopefully begin shooting in August. No director has been attached but with the addition have DDL, don't expect that to last long. The story will focus on the entire life story of Manfred von Richtofen from his early life in Kleinberg to his rise to fame with "The Flying Circus." Credits are being closely guarded as we don't even know who the script is being credited to yet. This one just jumped to our top ten list of must sees and we'll keep a watch out for any details. I am a little skeptical as this seems to be coming right on the heels of Day-Lewis' mammoth turn in 'There Will Be Blood' the actor usually takes a three year break between releasing projects. DDL must feel he is up for the challenge and hoping to make us marvel at his moustache for 3 more hours.

The Red Baron was credited with 80 confirmed kills
