- ---- - - ["JohnPassaniti"] would like to find people interested in reworking the film into a modern form. One idea I had would be to retain all possible scenes, but replace them with modern versions taken (where possible) at the same locations. We keep the original narration. Obviously, not all scenes could be recreated, as some buildings no longer exist, and unless someone happens to have an airplane, the flyovers are impossible. Those interested can contact ["JohnPassaniti"].
