A remake? Wow. In my eyes it will be tough to replace the acting of Jimmy
Stewart.

Yes, Paul Mantz was killed during the filming. I believe it was during a
takeoff attempt. As the closing credit say......"A fine man......"

Well, as much as I like seeing real flying in a movie, I hope they do
the actual flight of the 'Phoenix' with CGI. Wasn't Paul Mantz killed
trying to land the creature they built for the original film?
