Interesting.
I've been wondering, what with the 100th anniversary of WW1 rapidly approaching, if we're not going to start seeing more and more period films. Canadian films that is.
I doubt we'll ever see the likes of a Canadian Band of Brothers but I like to think the quality of our war films is improving (Passchendaele and Storming Juno come immediately to mind).
Something on the War of 1812 would be nice too although I suppose we'd have to raze most of that "neon carnival" (as Pierre Berton once put it) that is Lundy's Lane and Clifton Hill if we wanted to film "on location".
Hmmm...
(and yes, I'm being facetious
)

I hope it does not get as sappy as Passchendaele but more businesslike ala Beneath Hill 60.

or at least I hope so
I posted earlier from work and did not go to the first link. I see what you mean via the trailer. I don't think there will be too much kissin going on. or at least I hope so too

You never know, the love interest might manifest itself as a sassy and strong-willed girl who pretended to be a boy so she could fight in the trenches. ;D

"On the Guinness World Record Front
As some of you folks know shortly after we wrapped last year it came to our attention that we might be in a position to break the Guiness Book of World Records for the Longest Film Shot with a Single Camera.
I am very excited to announce that 21 Brothers is indeed longer than the current record holder by a whole minute and we are attempting to officially break the record on Friday, July 6 2012 at the Grand Theatre here in Kingston!
We hope that you all can join us as we make our attempt and we will bring you the details of this gala screening as they come."

And it's official: Guinness recognizes war film as longest single-shot movie
When three local filmmakers set out to make their first feature-length movie, they decided to shoot it all in a single take to add to its authenticity.
They didn't anticipate that their stylistic choice would earn them a Guinness World Record.
The film, 21 Brothers, tells the story of southeastern Ontario's 21st Battalion as it prepares for the First World War battle at Courcelette.
At 91 minutes, 21 Brothers has been recognized by Guinness as the longest single-shot film ever made.
Director and executive producer Michael McGuire grew up locally, as did the film's writer-producer Clayton Garrett and its cinematographer-producer Clint Tippin.
They shot the film three times in its entirety over one weekend in Elginburg in April 2011.
