Dad's Army film 'in the works

"A big screen version of classic TV sitcom Dad's Army is to be made, according to reports."

Sometimes classics should be left alone IMO. This is such a case I believe.

I agree bob they made a film already with all the proper people in it at the time and that should be the only one

A stupid idea. Today's generation will have litle interest in stories of the Home Guard and the older generation remember the original cast with a certain fondness. There would have to be some very big names in it but I can't see too many of them queing for a role in it.

I've never heard of the guy who is listed to play mainwaring it will never be a touch on the original and best

He played an enemy Dr in the recent two Captain America Films.

And he was in the Hunger Games.

Nope means nothing to me I'm afraid bob maybe well known but personally I've never heard of him don't watch hunger games

Toby Jones would be great casting actually. However I'm with you guys, I don't think it's the best idea.

Although, George Clooney's recent movie; Monument's Men had a Hollywood-esque feel of Dad's Army about it which makes me think it has potential. Has anyone seen it?

This seems really bizarre to me too. I might see it if my mum wants to but I reckon she'll want to steer clear.

I have enjoyed the original Dad's Army many times over, but a movie does not appeal at all to me without the original actors

My son 29 used to really enjoy the programmes too
