Michael Bay plans WWII thriller

October 11th, 2013 by Marc Comments

Michael Bay could be about to tackle Sabotage, a historical action thriller about the Norwegian heavy water sabotage during World War II.

According to The Wrap,  the film will be based on Neal Bascomb’s upcoming nonfiction book, “Sabotage: A Genius Scientist, His Band of Young Commandos, and the Mission to to Kill Hitler’s Super Bomb”. It tells the story of the British Special Operations Executive that trained groups of Norwegian commandos to infiltrate and destroy Norway’s Vemork Hydroelectric Plant during the time that the nation was occupied by Axis powers.

The story has previously been seen on the big screen as The Heroes of Telemark, which was released in 1965 and starred Kirk Douglas.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
