WWI gets its due

It's about time someone made a movie about the crazy war that was World War I.

I'm still waiting for the day when someone writes a decent script that gets picked up for a War of 1812 blockbuster. Consider that:

• You've got America vs. the British and Canada.
  
• It was the last war fought against foreign invaders on American soil.
  
• Americans invade and burn the Canadian parliament building in York (now Toronto).
  
• The Brits respond by invading Washington and burning every government building in DC save the Post Office.
  
• Francis Scott Key writes the Star Spangled Banner, based on the Battle of Baltimore, set to the tune of the English drinking song To Anacreon in Heaven.
  
• The war's most famous conflict, the Battle of New Orleans, took place a couple weeks after the treaty had been signed to end the war.
  

Sounds like the makings of a good flick to me.
