Upcoming movie: Danger Close-The Battle for Long Tan
New movie coming out late summer, Travis Fimmel of Vikings fame plays one of the Anzac soldiers who on that fateful day in August 1966, chased a Vietnamese patrol into the rubber plantation of Long Tan and all hell broke loose

My father in law, Dave Hayward, ex Vietnam, has already published a book (fiction based on fact) called "Danger Close"
It can be found on Amazon.

You don't realise how many books and movies there are titled "Danger Close" until you actually do an internet search.

That is so very true, there was a great highly stylized documentary about the Battle of Long Tan, with plenty of interviews with the actual soldiers who fought there, hopefully this movie will gain wide release and not be relegated to relative obscurity like other great movies like "The Crater"

I hope the movie poster is not an indicator of content: since when does a flat-ish rubber plantation look like an open hill with palms in the background?

Hang on Mike!!! We must stay positive!! Nobody else is offering us a up a Vietnam movie this year so far and especially not an ANZAC Vietnam movie!! Come on movie gods, if not "The Longest Day" or "A Bridge Too Far" At least give us a "Hamburger Hill" !!!
