Ed Speleers and Alfred Molina will don World War II uniforms and do battle with the Germans in "
The Good War," a film being put together by indie U.K. production company Firefly Films.
The movie, budgeted at $18 million, tells the story of a British major who leads a platoon of ill-equipped troops who try to defend the strategically important island of Malta against Hitler's air force. Hostile islanders and a dangerous love triangle threaten to destroy the major's hopes of military success.
