Had no idea they were remaking that. Looks like they've cut out all the test pilot aspects and are solely focusing on Mercury. That's disappointing, I know the original was long so it makes sense to cut it down some, but Yeager is the best part of the book/movie.
I'll certainly watch. But I really don't think it was a movie in need of a remake. Original still holds up quite well.
Book is fantastic for anyone looking for something read. Mandatory reading if you're at all interested in planes or rockets or space travel.
Light this candle.
